Your question might get more views if it were in a separate thread.But to my question. When setting a target (temp/humidity, temp, humidity or vpd), is there a way to set separate targets for lights on & lights off. At my current level of understanding there is only one possible target setting regardless of light status. Am I missing something?
Thanks for the reply. I’ve been fiddling a bit more & got it sorted a lot better. Essentially with the AI you set an environmental target from one of 4 different parameters 1. Temp/humidity 2. Temp 3. Humidity. Or 4. Vpd. & it seems that is the target AI uses continuously whether lights on/day time or lights off/night time. I was using temp/humidity as my target, fine during the day/lights on but doesn’t make sense using that same target during lights off/night time.Your question might get more views if it were in a separate thread.
There aren't many growers using the AI+ controller yet, including me. That said, I may not be understanding your question. Lights don't have many options. Usually, they only have an on/off schedule and sunrise/sunset transitions. They don't change due to environmental conditions.
I need to unfollow the Trainwreck thread, I don't see these notifications because when I come on here, I have pages of Trainwreck notifications and nothing elseGot the controller ai when I upgraded my fan. I'm liking it so far. When I set it up I didn't pick beginner, or choose the preset options.
I'm not using automation yet. What's the best way to use the ai? Should I set by the vpd mode?
I'm running my heater, humidifier and exhaust fan on it so far. But the way I have it setup, the fan doesn't kick on because once it reaches set temp or humidity, the devices shut off so it doesn't go beyond that. Don't know if I should set the fan on cycle for fresh air.
Also I noticed my humidifier runs at level 10. I went in to "on" and set max level to 3 but it always runs on 10. Am I missing something?
Thanks :)
No worries.The same thing happens to me. I don't always get notifications haha. I'll set to run by vpd tonight when I get home. Also I'll get some screenshots for you.I need to unfollow the Trainwreck thread, I don't see these notifications because when I come on here, I have pages of Trainwreck notifications and nothing else
I run my exhaust 24/7 for air exchange.
How you run the controller depends on how well your able to stablize the environment.
If you run VPD, I would keep temp at a constant and have Humidity change the VPD.
Then you don't have devices fighting each other to try and stablize VPD.
As far as your humidifier running at 10, I would have to see screenshots of how you have everything setup in the Controller.
I'm assuming you're using the AC Infinity Humidifier?No worries.The same thing happens to me. I don't always get notifications haha. I'll set to run by vpd tonight when I get home. Also I'll get some screenshots for you.
It's not too much of an issue, I just need to fill humidifier every day. Goes through water pretty quick.
I may have figured out the humidifier level. All but my lights are ac infinity, I have them on a seperate timer.
I have some screenshots. I'm kind of more confused. I can't seem to get my fan to run. I didn't see any on button on the fan itself. I don't know how to get it turned on.
When i try to turn the fan on using the controller, I dont see an actual way to turn it on. When I go to the on option, it just lets me set the speed level.
I'm currently trying in Ai mode. Don't know if it's better to run in Ai mode or normal mode.
On your first screenshot, go to Device Settings. From there set the speed for the fan. That is it, there is no way to turn it on/off manually if AI is running.I may have figured out the humidifier level. All but my lights are ac infinity, I have them on a seperate timer.

Sweet. Thanks.On your first screenshot, go to Device Settings. From there set the speed for the fan. That is it, there is no way to turn it on/off manually if AI is running.
I've never ran mine on ai mode. When I first got the controller I tried ai mode but didn't like it. It apparently takes a while for it to get the baseline.I know this post is older but I’m curious as what your guys vpd swing is in AI mode? I ran the ai for two days and wasn’t happy with the vpd swing it was going from .9-1.2. I can keep it between 1.13-1.19 if I don’t use ai and just set my own automation. I really want to run ai mode but it’s not looking possible for me atm. I just read through this and saw a post saying to set a constant temp and let the humidity change vpd. I may give that a try if I have any downtime in the tent before my next run.
Yea I may just have to run the Ai for a week with nothing in the tent for it to figure everything out.I've never ran mine on ai mode. When I first got the controller I tried ai mode but didn't like it. It apparently takes a while for it to get the baseline.
I think I had some swings also so I said screw it. I now just set everything using the triggers.
Automations you can give a shot. But again, I never used automations.
I’ve run the AI for about a month and a half to try it out. Not really the biggest fan. The VPD will fluxuate from about 1.28 with the lights off to about 2.4 with the lights on. My humidity levels stay kinda level, 54% with lights on and 60% with lights off. But temperature goes a little more wild, high of 90deg with lights on, and 76deg with lights off.Yea I may just have to run the Ai for a week with nothing in the tent for it to figure everything out.
Two climate sensors?I know the thread is a few months old, but I'm having a problem. When I press pause it gives me this screen. I have the controller on the tent, the temp/humidity hanging inside, 2 fans, exhaust and humidifier. What do they want?

One is in the controller (on the tent) and the other is hanging and plugged in.Two climate sensors?
I'm not sure because I don't run the ai option. I would say you may be getting that screen because something needs to be plugged in for ai to run? as for 2 sensors, it may be set up as having 2 sensors. 1 for temp, 1 for humidity but I'm not sure.One is in the controller (on the tent) and the other is hanging and plugged in.
The controller seems to be working, I think there's something up with the App.
