It's the 69 pro and I've been doing just that since I set it up a few weeks ago. It's been going great until some funky issues last night and a few little quirks that didn't affect functionality. Now the temp reading is roughly 10 degrees off, so I can't trust it until it proves otherwise. So i wouldn't even know if the heater kicked on or if the controller is on the fritz again.Keep in mind you just need to keep them in range not exact to the number. If you have a day where the heater went off and overheated the tent or something didn't turn on it won't do much as long as you don't let it go on for a while. If you have your controller set up on your router you should be able to access your info from wherever there is an internet connection. You can do periodic checks to make sure everything is where it needs to be.
How many things is the controller running? My 67 will run 2 things. Maybe have them send you a 67 for now until they figure out the issues and run with it. I have had zero issues with the 67.It's the 69 pro and I've been doing just that since I set it up a few weeks ago.

Realistically I'm just pouting because I was so close. I just want the thing to work like it was and not have to ride this curveball into the wind.
The 69 Pro controller has a port for the hygrometer/thermometer probe and then the ability to add up to 4 other devices using ports that are similar to a USB "C" connection. At some point I will likely have all ports filled because eventually once stock is reliable I will add one of their humidifiers.How many things is the controller running? My 67 will run 2 things.

It's running everything but the light. The exhaust fan, heater and humidifier. The heater isn't really necessary though.How many things is the controller running? My 67 will run 2 things.

I've heard about the fan issue on 69's from some others but it seems to be only the fan.View attachment 1347076

Intake fan on high pulling in mid 60's air, exhaust on 10 to vent some humidity. Apparently when I unplugged the controller, the outlets turned on and ran my heater and humidifier with no exhaust.
But as you can see.. the AC probe is a good 10+ degrees above the SF. I think I can recalibrate the temp probe so I'll try that next, but that doesn't solve the issue of the fan kicking up to 10 for no apparent reason, draining the humidity. Had the same issue with the heater and humidifier ports also. The fan took care of that before.
I have a Klein temp gun. I just wasn't sure the offset from surface temp and ambient so I wasn't sure how to accurately judge the difference.I've heard about the fan issue on 69's from some others but it seems to be only the fan.
Yes, you can recalibrate the temp readings on the app but I would pickup an infrared monitor before you go calibrating stuff so that you can accurately make your changes. I find the thermometer handy to periodically check the VPD numbers the controller is churning out to make sure it's calibrated properly and not going out of range.

DWC......Great harvest if you can get there without it going south. I've done DWC a few times with moderate success. Just too much maintenance for me and too small a margin for error vs dirt.
Yes, I'm a lazy fuck......
Yes, I have several of those Govee hygrometer/thermometers. They are easy to use. The ones I have are WIFI/Bluetooth enabled so you can get your readings anywhere you have a data or internet connection. The app records a graph so you can see any fluctuations. I also trust their temperature/RH readings.Pickup a temp monitor that you trust and base your readings off of it.
I've never used this hygrometer but a buddy of mine recommended it.
There ya go!! From the proverbial horses mouth!!Yes, I have several of those Govee hygrometer/thermometers. They are easy to use.

I would hold onto this scenario and see if the 69 caused this. It could very well be a sign of what is wrong in their programming and be the cause of a lot of the issues the controller is having.View attachment 1347080
Well I'm an idiot and should've just checked here first. I can't explain how it ended up doing this in the first place, though. Our toddler doesn't handle our phones and that's a pretty complicated sequence for a pocket maneuver. It still doesn't explain my fan kicking on high after lights off last night. It does however alleviate a little bit of the stress.
Some of these programming issues arrived around the same time I set up an automation for my heater to allow an 8 degree drop after lights off. Maybe I'll ignore the heater for now and delete the automation. Maybe that will help.
Yeah for sure. I'll delete the heater automation and keep a close eye on the other fluctuations I've been seeing. I'm honestly glad it was mostly user error and the problem was quickly under control.I would hold onto this scenario and see if the 69 caused this.

Submit this when MiGrampaUSA gets a response on his ticket or if they decide to open a thread on the site.
No worries Brother! We've all been there.Yeah for sure. I'll delete the heater automation and keep a close eye on the other fluctuations I've been seeing. I'm honestly glad it was mostly user error and the problem was quickly under control.
I just wanna take a moment and thank you all for taking up arms and sharing your two cents. This was a minor issue and there were several of you pitching in some of your valuable time to keep me in the game. Thanks again!
