Mean Well drivers and dimming

Am I missing something or do Mean Well drivers fall short on wireless dimming options? Or just controller options in general?

Fingers broken? Kids these days with their Bluetooth this and Instagram that.... Use the dial. Lmao
I remember the old days when we used to raise and lower light levels by adjusting the height of your light. Now there's a total mind fuck for ya!

If you had a grow room with 40 fixtures, would you rather go light to light and dial in approximate PPF's one by one, or would you rather just open an app and control the timer, dimmer, slow on and slow off?

Check out ERP https://www.erp-power.com/ - they have a bunch of wireless and programmable options and are competitive price wise with Meanwell. Arrow has them on clearance occasionally so u can get them super cheap.

I did a quick search are there are numerous bluetooth PWM dimmers, but they all need a sperate 12-24V power supply.

Right on. Wish they had higher wattage options. Seems like they come in pairs
this is the one I was thinking of that is 260W. They have 2 outputs so u could get creative with driving different colored strips with the same driver, or run one channel at full power. The challenge i had is matching up led modules with the exact driver.
