Frequently Asked Questions
Does the ControlLED controller work with other brands of LED?
Yes, it works with most 0-10V LED fixtures. The independent 680nm near red control only works on ControlLED Dio-Tech Satellite fixtures, as other lights don't have separately controllable near-red diodes.
How many lights can the ControlLED controller run?
Up to 200 fixtures over WiFi, or up to 70 Satellite fixtures wired. Fixtures can be split across two rooms, each with its own schedule.
Does the ControlLED controller need my WiFi router?
No. The controller and fixtures talk over their own WiFi mesh with a range of up to 180m. It doesn't connect to your router or show up on your home network.
Is the CO2 sensor included?
No, the CO2, temperature and humidity sensor is sold separately. Get in touch if you'd like one ordered with your controller.
Can I run a veg room and a flower room from one ControlLED controller?
Yes. Room A and Room B run independently with their own schedules and settings, so a veg room and a flower room, or two flower rooms out of step, can share one controller.
Can the ControlLED controller dim the UVA and Far Red infill bars?
No, infill bars are on or off only. At sunrise they come on at full power while the main fixtures ramp up, and at sunset they stay on until the finish time while the main fixtures dim down.
Description
The ControlLED Touch Screen LED Controller runs up to 200 LED fixtures over WiFi, across two grow rooms, from one colour screen. It's made for ControlLED's own Dio-Tech Satellite and Spectro-Tech PRO fixtures, and it works with most other 0-10V LEDs too.
You'll often see it called the 3 in 1 controller, because it looks after lighting, temperature and humidity, and CO2 from one unit. The sensor for the environmental side is an optional extra.
WiFi mesh that stays off your router
Fixtures talk to the controller over their own WiFi mesh, with a range of up to 180m. It doesn't go through your router and won't show up on your home network, which keeps things simple and secure. Prefer cables? It'll run up to 70 Satellite fixtures wired. Firmware updates arrive over WiFi as well.
Two rooms, run independently
Room A and Room B each get their own schedule and settings, so you can run a veg room next to a flower room, or two flower rooms out of step, from the same screen.
Lighting modes
- Sunrise: UVA and Far Red infill bars come on at full power at your start time, while the main fixtures ramp up over as long as 1 hour 40 minutes
- Sunset: the main fixtures dim down gradually and the infill bars stay on until the finish time, then everything goes off. Infill bars don't dim, they're simply on or off
- Independent 680nm near red: turn the near-red diodes down for a bluer veg spectrum and back up for flower. Satellite fixtures only
- Auto-dim: set a maximum temperature and the lights back off when the room goes over it, then recover once it cools
Environment monitoring
The touch screen shows temperature, humidity and CO2 next to your lighting settings. The CO2, temperature and humidity sensor is sold separately. Give us a shout if you want one ordered with your controller.
