You can also set everything on Pause, but then you need to deal with the risk of forgetting to put it back on lol
Happened to me twice already haha.
Dude you have no idea! Hahaha! There’s the potential for lights on for 72 straight around here!🔥💨🤣

Hey, @Newty, thanks for the thread. I've been thinking about getting one of these. I like new tech, but I'm not sure I need one for any of my small tents. I'm thinking these are intended to be used with larger tents.
I was thinking the same thing, I'm running it in a 8x4 currently.
You can use 2 sensor probes and use dual zone and control 2 different tents with 1 controller though so it may be beneficial if running 2 smaller tents.

I never planned on owning one, just happened to win a photo contest.

Now I want the co2 and light sensor to see what that's all about but they're sold out and no pre order available.
I know this is coming out of my ass but I “think” you could really dial multiple tents together using this AI controller. I have such a dynamic exhaust and fan set up with my shed I would love to try this unit out!

It gives you the option when you set it up for the first time.
It sounds like you are under beginner mode, doesn't give as much control.

Here is the screenshot from the setup where it asks what mode you want.

I am still figuring this out. For the last couple of weeks I have been using the AI mode, which I custimize the temperature and humidity (if I go with VPD the heater does not work) but I have to do that manually every night at 02:00 and every morning at 08:00 (running a 18/6 schedule).

Today I finally had time to try out some automations instead. While this is exactly what I needed (set time, temp and humidity for a period of time), it is not possible to set parameters for seperate devices. I need the inline fan running 24/7 at minimal speed 3 to get rid off the smell. You can adjust this parameter but it will be set for every device, so now my heater is also 24/7 on at a minimal setting of three...

If I could only set schedules with the AI+ mode my problem would be solved, however this does not seem possible?

that doesnt seem right (definitely frustrating). Im running the 69 pro (not sure if it’s the + or not it does have wifi) I just set everything to auto lol! but I only have fans plugged in at this point to pull cool air from outside or to exhaust my flower room into the veg room. so far so good. I was more commenting to bump this thread! : ) the controllers are awesome but man if you are anything like me with tech it can get very frustrating quickly lol!

Edit: @Newty we need you! 😀✌️

I had to roll back to the AI+ mode. With the heater constant on level 3 the room was heating up to fast.

Is your heater the ACI forge? Does it have connectivity to the controller?

I have a couple of the ACI smart plugs that have come in handy. Sorry im doing coffee hanging out with my 4 year old this morning lol. Do you have a thread with your entire setup I can see and I’ll quit asking you dumb questions lol!

Yes, it is the thermoforge t3, awesome piece of kit to get your growtent nice and warm. I use all of the ACI equipment through the AI+ controller with the UIS connectivity. This gives you a more precise control versus the on or off switch with the ACI smart plugs.

Currently using the following:

Since I am using a Mars Hydro fc4800 evo, I tried to connect it with the ACI converter plug to the controller, but you can set your light only with 10 levels. So I disconnected the light from the controller and run it through the Mars Hydro app currently. Gives me more precise control compared to the AI+. I suspect this will be different when using a ACI mainlight.

You can always ask me by posting on my growdiary here, dumb questions don't exist lol :P
