Just finished setting up the AC Infinity Controller AI+
I wanted to make a thread showing some of the setup and options.
I will share more as the AI "learns" from the environment.
This thread will be used for any of your questions as well.
It's new to me so as I observe and learn, I'll be able to answer questions better.
Setup is pretty straight forward, adding a Controller and connecting to wifi is just like the Controller 69.
The AI+ comes with a power adapter that must be used, UIS equipment does not power the controller.
Even though I'm very familiar with controlling my environment with AC Infinity products, I opted for beginner mode.
I not only want to see what it does but users new to growing or controllers may want to see how easy it will be for them to setup and how well the AI learns and adjusts with limited knowledge from the user.
Beginner mode does not give you full control over your equipment, you can change some settings but not all.
One thing I didn't like was that I use 2 different brands of grow lights and use 2 different UIS ports but it would not allow me to set a max brightness individually, they had to share the same setting. They are different wattage so I usually run the higher wattage at a lower intensity.
In advanced mode, all the parameters and settings can be set individually and then the AI will adjust based on your personal settings.
I will switch to advanced mode after I observe beginner mode for a bit.
When everything is setup and running, the Controller automatically puts the lights in dynamic mode and 100% power (power can be lowered).
In dynamic mode it will run your light for 24 hours and determine the coldest part of the day and set your lights to come on during this time, this is in order to control high temps easier.
I work so I prefer to have my lights turn on and off on the schedule that makes it easier for me, I turned off the dynamic light mode and set it to my schedule.
As I learn more, I'll add more!
My tent has been open while I went through the setup, please ignore the current readings
