On/Off functin for meanwell HLG style drivers using dimming and arduino

I spoke with meanwell and they said as long as the relay cuts power to the driver I can use it, I have also looked over the data sheet and it’s still a little unclear. This is the link for the iot relay https://www.sparkfun.com/products/14236. Do I just simply plug my driver into this and then the iot into the outlet. How will the iot sense that the power is dimmed to 10% and kill power to the driver?
In order to use this relay driver, you run a 5v/10v pwm signal positive and ground to the green connector from your controller. When the signal is 5v/10v the relay turns on and the outlet turns on anything plugged into the NO outlet of two. I use these a lot.
 
Can the grow green controller work for 2 meanwell hlg 480 b drivers?

Or is there a cheaper or better alternative for timing and sunrise sunset functions.

If its simple i can follow a diagram but im tech slow lol.

A GrowGreen controller can control up to four MW 2100 drivers on one channel alone, with dimmng and on/off. All the user needs to do is have adequate power available. The GrowGreen controller only works with the 5v/10v signal path. The normal maximum amperage is 20a per branch circuit, which is the limiting factor.

One client uses the GrowGreen to manage multiple 48v drivers. I use the GrwoGreen to control up to six fixtures. with multiple drivers. I have one fixture with eight drivers a mix of lpc, hlg, etc, all controlled by one channel. I have multiple fixtures some running under veg schedule some running under flower schedule, and some with Far red capacity, as well.

Very versatile, flexible, and reliable. I have been using my GrowGreen controller for two years now. I upgrade to the most current code set, because I can.

My newest version handles six channels of relays and on/off and six channels of dimming 0-100%. Controller comes with two dimmers, enough for two fixtures, extra dimmers are extra. GrowGreen runs a total of twelve channels independent of each other. works great.

My in the works model is WiFi oriented for updates anywhere with camera and a smartphone app.
 
What all would i need to run it with 2 hlg 480 b drivers?

Also i plan on expanding the setup in the future so is it ok ifni want one of the hlgs to run on low so i dong max the lights?

I provide a 10v power supply and two drivers to connect to the controller. For the on/off you cna go a couple of ways, easy way is to use two of these connected to the pwm signal split from dimmer ->https://www.adafruit.com/product/2935 one for each driver and you just plug the driver power into the Normally Off side and the pwm 5v to + and - and you have an outlet scheduled controlled by a GrowGreen. With the newer model you get a connector for the relays and a separate connector for the dimmers, two six channel connectors.you can control the relay and the fixture with separate times or same times.
 
So you plug the drivers into the outlet and then the outlet to the controller?

Sorry im tech slow but i can build anything qith a diagram if that maes sense.

Could you do a chicken scratch wiring diagram?

I would love to use a sonoff or zigbee? Type controler i just dont want to have a wifi setup.
Id rather have a control box in the room itself
Im still old school trying to catch up lol

But i would buy this controller if it sunrises and sunsets and more importantly holds time and is reliable
