I prefer the Controller 69 pro, the pro version has wifi and you can monitor and control your environment from anywhere with cell phone service.

I run 4 Controller 69 Pros in 3 tents.

Almost all my equipment is AC Infinity, best in the Industry IMO.

Do you have other AC Infinity equipment already?
At a minimum I would get an exhaust fan, you will be able to do much more with the controllers then.

If you don't have a ACI fan, buying the ACI fan/filter kit that comes with everything for an exhaust including the duct work and controller, it's like buying everything and getting the Controller 69 for $30.

My carbon filter and exhaust fan is vivosun I think. When I have the money I wanna upgrade my tent. I'm thinking ac infinity for that.

Hello,

I'm looking to get an ac Infinity controller for my new grow. I was going to get the basic one but there is a sale on the pro 79.

I guess I'm just asking if I should just get the pro. I'm just not sure how they work. I just need something to control the temp and humidity.

Are they worth it? Thanks.

IMO can't beat AC Infinity.
2 of my 3 tents are ACI, I wish my 3rd tent was ACI because the quality is not as good.

When you say you want a controller for temp and humidity, do you just want it to control a heater, air conditioner, and humidifier?

If you want it to control your fan speeds, it will need to be an ACI fan.
It would not be able to adjust the speed of your Vivosun fan, it could turn it on and off though just at whatever speed you manually set it to.

The Controller 69 I mentioned will also control lights and with the proper ACI lighting adapter, lights that are made by other manufacturers.
I control HLG and Spider Farmer lights with my Controller 69.

Any of the model 69s are good. They have 4 ports and Wi-Fi. You can controll from your phone. Probable best to get with the in-line fan. Usually the best deal. Black Friday deal on Amazon you get the controller and a 4” in-line for 89 bucks.

I ordered the 69 controller. Gonna see how that goes. Will work on an aci fan next. I've been slowly upgrading as I go along lol.

Just a heads up since I didn’t see your current list of equipment. The controller 69 is powered when it is attached to an AC Infinity component. If you don’t have any ACI components attached, you will need to buy a separate power supply.

True. The control plug works for that.

1 of my controllers runs 3 of my lights in my 8x4.
I had to use a UIS plug to power the controller, at the time I didn't know the lighting adapters don't send power to the Controller 69.
One of the extra UIS plugs took care of that though.

I have two 69 Pros and one 69 Pro+. I use them with control plugs for my tent heaters and two of my humidifiers. I have AC Infinity exhaust fans on every tent. So, I know the equipment reasonably well and I do recommend it.


Did you order anything else?

You’re going to like it : ) and Newty is dead serious about knowing the equipment. He has helped me with it in the past : )

Also T-dub brings up a good point which newty and LGI covered it but with what they said… having the controller setting to off doesn’t always mean the damn thing is off! It can do weird things (off settings) so just mind that when youre setting stuff up. I had a fan going with everything powered off and I didnt know what the hell was going on! it wasn’t that big of deal, just something to keep in mind : )
