AC InfinityController 69 PRO, Smart Environmental Controller with Temperature, Humidity, VPD, Timer, Cycle, Schedule Controls, for Grow Tent Cooling Ventilation Lighting

I bought this controller box to go along with my air trap T4 vents from Infinity also. As it turns out, I probably did not need it. These vents do not work with the controller box. They do, but you cannot do automations, which was a real downfall. I wanted to have it so that the vents turn on at a certain temperature during the day and a different temperature at night because the vents are blowing different temperatures depend depending on the time of day.As far as the controller box goes, it is definitely really nice. I used to have a whole gross system going and used all Infinity products. I can tell you from experience that anything you buy from AC Infinity is going to be high-quality. You can tell just by the box that things come in. Even the boxes are really nice.I tried buying the transmitters that just came out. They did not work because they do not travel more than 15 feet!! so be aware if you’re trying to do something like I am that it will not work. Your controller box needs to be within 15 feet of all transmitters. Also, the more transmitters you have the less distance you get. I would not advise that you buy the transmitters. I sent mine back. If you have a grow room, this may be something for you but not for me.The controller box is 100% great quality. It’s just not what I needed.

My husband absolutely loves this and as well as I do!! Totally awesome and what we have been wanting! Great customer service as well, thank you!!

I’m just saying, AC infinity builds QUALITY products period. There is no close second or even third. Class of their own and nobody is close. This controller allows me maximum control over the environment indoors. I personally pair it with their AC infinity tent both 3x3, and 4x4. I have two of them because they’re that good. I grow stealth apartment style and pull 2 pounds from one plant, 4 months total, in 10 gallon breathable. I’m mobile and without this controller it would absolutely a guessing game on the environment. If you want quality go with AC infinity eco system. Just better equipment, and better results.

Here I review the AC Infinity Controller 69 Pro and Pro+. I own both models and find them to be the same other than number of ports. I give these controllers a grade of 4.4.There is some truth to the positive reviews that one sees about these controllers. The first thing that I especially like is the Automations function. Besides my main lights, I also have supplemental UV, blue, deep red, and IR lights. These lights get utilized in different ways in different grow periods. It used to be that I had to change multiple old school timers just to properly change lights for the next grow mode. With the Controller 69 Pro, however, I can make automations for germination, seedling, vegetative, and multiphased flowering periods. Just a push of a button on my phone and my varying lights all follow light time periods and intensities that are ideal for various growth stages.I also adore the sunrise/sunset function. Combined with my supplemental IR light, my plants get a reasonable facsimile of solar dawn and dusk, which allows them to be more effective with both their day and night activities. This sunrise/sunset function is not available on all grow lights, and it pays to check the compatibility list on AC Infinity's web site. For example, I have an older model Mars Hydro FC-3000 light for which sunrise/sunset works great. But a Vivosun VS-2000 only partly works due to limitations of the Vivosun driver.Mention of sunrise, though, also brings me to a shortcoming of these units, a lack of capacity for multiple scheduling. Like many growers, I turn my IR lights on twice a day for 15 minutes before sunrise and again after sunset, mimicking natural light patterns. The Controller 69 Pro, though, allows scheduling only one discreet activity per device per day. You can have devices cycle on and off for defined periods all day, but you cannot turn a device on and off in a discreetly chosen time frame more than once a day. Hence, I slap a cheap old school timer onto an expensive AC Infinity outlet in order to turn my IR lights on twice a day. AC Infinity makes good hardware but this software problem is a disappointing rough edge.These units also are finicky when it comes to Wifi. Make sure they have a strong signal. Further, the devices will demand that the phone with the app be connected to a 2.4G rather than 5G network.The free app that runs the controllers is both powerful and sometimes unintuitive, so it has a learning curve.Another potential problem accrues to powering the units. The 69 Pro/Pro+ does not come with a traditional power cable, since AC Infinity expects you to power the unit via a cable attached to a piece of AC Infinity UIS hardware like a light or fan. For instance, AC Infinity fans power my 3 controller units. That said, the controllers work with a lot of non-AC Infinity hardware. But if you don't have at least one AC Infinity device power source, you need to buy a power adapter, which then takes up a port. In other words, without AC Infinity hardware like a light to power it, your 4 port controller will work but effectively will become a 3 port device, since one port will be reserved for a power adapter.UPDATE:Having used both Bluetooth and Wifi modes to connect with these controllers, I have settled on Bluetooth mode. Wifi mode is handy but unstable over the longer term. Wifi may disconnect because of thunderstorms, router problems, controller problems, AC Infinity server updates, or other reasons. But Bluetooth mode works rock-solid 24/7 even if you have multiple controllers. Since I prioritize this trustworthy performance, Bluetooth is the way for me.
