Gaijin Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 Totally missed this thread I have tried and tried to find instructions, videos, anything to help me set up the sunrise/sunset function. Could someone help a tech-challenged grower out with some simple instructions please and thanks 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Military Grade Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 I didn't think it had a sun rise and sun set mode, tho I don't have a AC infinity LED light plugged into my controller to be given the options 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should work, according to Adam. If so, I'll be jumping all over that sunset function If not, the dongle was 15 squids or somewhere around there. No major loss. Fingers crossed, though 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotgun185 Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 @Gaijin I’ve got the sunrise/sunset working on my Mars hydro Ec-e3000 with the 69 pro! It’s a doddle in the app.I’ve got the light set on a schedule and under the port section click light then scroll down and you can turn sunset/rise on and set a transition time for it also. I’ll try and get some pics up mate. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Military Grade Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 @Shotgun185 Thanks for posting the app pics, I wouldn't have ever seen it without a light plugged in 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweettooth Posted July 22, 2023 Author Share Posted July 22, 2023 @Gaijin @Shotgun185 I run all mine using the Advanced feature so light schedules and fan settings are on 1 program and have various lights off stages to control humidity and temps throughout the day (helps when the suns shining on the roof adding extra heat to the loft) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed, though Do you know what adapter it is? I think there's an a and b. I have a PAR+ 480 and was wanting to hook it up when I get my new space built. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotgun185 Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 Nice one @sweettooth yer I did brush over the automated bit but every time I set something to come on it didn’t so just went for the easy option at the time.but like yourself there is times I could do with adjusting things so that is really helpful to have a go out now! @Military Grade you welcome sir! It’s a good bit of kit, I did try it on my viparspectra xs1500 pro in the veg tent but it would only adjust brightness from 0-10 but wouldn’t turn it off which is a shame, so I’ve just put that on a smart plug for now, with the intention of setting up the sunset/rise on that and just have the plug turn off 1 min after lights out. With the Mars hydro one it dims 0-10 and turns off so works excellent for what I want. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Type A is for PVM or 0-10v dimming , I got these for my lumatek and maxibright lights Type B is for resistor dimming, can't say what the PAR+ uses, I would guess at 0-10v 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotgun185 Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 @Hazeytones type a Enables UIS™ controllers to work with RJ11 and RJ12 connector grow lights with PWM or 0-10V dimmers. type b Enables UIS™ controllers to work with RJ11 and RJ12 connector grow lights with resistor dimmers. my Mars hydro uses type b and the viparspectra uses the type a I only had the type a as I bought it instead of the type b for the Mars hydro I’m pretty sure most of the new lights have the PWM management on them to be fair. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
