Questions about Coralux Storm Controller

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to automate a custom grow space and would like to add sunrise and sunset simulations as well as control light intensity and timing and speed of the fans inside. After such research I came upon the Coralux Storm Controller. So far I've gathered that I can use this controller with my HLG-120H-54B, but will not be able to dim to 0% with said driver. The light in the space is the HLG 135w v2 Rspec and the fans are AC infinity controlled by their own controller with a temp probe. So my questions are:

1.- How can I make the Coralux dim to 0% with the HLG-120H-54B driver? I've read somewhere that you can use a relay of some sort? But not entirely sure how that would work. Does anyone have an idea or can guide me in the right direction?
2.- Can I control the fans with this Coralux controller as well? or maybe integrate the AC controller with the Coralux somehow? Is there a way to integrate or use the Coralux to control both the light and the fan?
3.- I also read I might need a 10v analog converter with this driver/light?
4.- Install looks fairly easy but is there anything in particular I need to know or is it pretty much connect the dimmer cables from the driver to the controller (jumper cables)?

Any info, comments or guidance will bar very much appreciated; thanks everyone.

additional info and extra question: In total there's 4 AC infinity fans, the HLG light and AC infinity exhaust and filter (4 inch). Is there anything out there to control everything from one controller?

Also, if there's something better out there by all means let me know. I also read about the blue fish controller but not sure if that one dims to 0 and has the same abilities as the Coralux.

1.The HLG-120H-54B driver can not be dimmed below 10% due to it's construction.
3.You need the Coralux 10v analog converter to use with the HLG-120H-54B.

Can it be turned off when it reaches 10%? I wouldn't mind it going from x% to 10% to off. Can I achieve that somehow?
Thanks for the reply!

Have you checked out the trolmaster hydro x?
Yes and I still have the same problem apparently; my driver does not support dimming to off. The work around I’ve found so far is to use which ever controller and just time the controlled outlet to off after the other controller dims to 10%. So I can set the Coralux to dim to sunset say at 6 pm then set the controller outlet to turn off at 6:30 pm for example. Would this work ?
