Just guessing... Does the light have a switch for external control?
Hey Buds! I will be messing with this myself tomorrow with my Mars FC3000 and the 69Pro controller. I also have a Mars TS1000 light. I can't look at it now, but I wonder if the setting on the driver has to be off or maybe it has a setting for "Ext"? During "lights on" tomorrow, I will mess around with it and report back. I will check here to see if you got it figured out first, though! ;-)

You could try updating the AC app, and making sure you have your settings set to config 1. I believe with your dimmer you want to either turn it all the way up on your light, or all the way down.
Make sure you have the cable plugged into channel 1 on your light. If you set the dimmer to low and then high and neither works try turning the manual dimmer completely off and seeing if that works.
Update us after you’ve tried these methods. I have a dongle A and B for two different lights and the dongle B you have to set your app to the config 2 setting.
Hope this helps brotha!
I would assume you’d need to input the dongle on the first light in the chain, set all the dimmers to off, and see if that works. If not you could try inputting to the last light in the chain, and doing the same. Wish I could remember if the dimmer needs to be set to low, off, or high. Let me know if you figure this out brother, curious myself.i have 3 lights daisey chained 2 ts1000 and 1 tsl2000 all have the same drivers i have only messed with the buttons on the main light , i wonder if all of the ext button on all 3 lights would have to be off
Install the daisy chain to the channel 2 on the first light, assuming your light has two channels inputs. Channel 1 input plug the dongle into, On the second and third light plug your connector cords into the channel 1 spot?well i just tried it with only 1 light and i got it to work but as soon as i daisey chained all lights went off

That really blows if you can’t control them all.
lights work fine daisey chained be daisey chained every time i have used themI run multiple lights daisy chained with AC Infinity Controller 69.
Drivers on all lights should have to be in extension mode.
All need to be in Extension mode because the Controller 69 acts as the 1st "light" in the chain and controls the rest.
1 RJ11 adapter from Controller 69 to first light and then link all the lights together.
If you're using lights with different wattage, it will still work but all lights have to have the same dimming style, all 0-10v or all resistor type.
Also want to mention that ACI says my HLG light uses B adapter but it wouldn't work so I tried the A adapter and works great.
I happened to have an extra A laying around to test.
Best best would be to contact Mars Hydro and ask them if they use 0-10v or resistor type or try to look up the specs of the driver itself from Meanwell
Both lights are plugged into power, set to extension, and RJ cable linked to the proper in and out connection on the driver?the tsl2000 i got has a different driver on it i do not think the adapter i got will work for it BUT the 2 ts1000 has the same mean well drivers on the same thing happens i can control 1 light as soon as i plug in the 2nd light they go off
I have lights that have 2 RJ ports on each driver and only work with the splitter and like the diagram I drew.my tent is a little to full to mess with the lights like that i will wait to the grow is over and plants are out of tent to figure it out or just use my spider farmer sf4000 instead of the mars lol , the type b adapter says that it shoudl work with daisey chained lights that u just have to plug the controller into 1 light then daisey chain following the light manufactures instructions
hey bro i got some rj11 2way splitters to try and they still did not work for my ts1000's , so i sent them back and got some rj12 2 way splitters and tried them and they worked for the ts1000's , my tsl2000 has a different type of driver that is not meanwell or mars branded see pics so i can not get that one to work with either a or b adaptersJust thought of something....
Try using a RJ11 Splitter instead of daisy chaining the drivers.
Reference drawing below on how it should be ran with RJ11 splitter.
Both Drivers would still need to have ext turned on and I believe both cables would go to the 1st RJ11 port on both drivers because port 1 is the input (2 output) and it's receiving (input) from the Controller 69.
