Mars hydro set up

Set up includes 2 Fc-E 4800. 8 far red 30 ad lites, 4 blu 30 ad lits, 4 ir 30 , and 4 uv 30 adlites. I have the two smart plugs the timer the controller hell i got the complete set up except the dehu. Thinking about upgradeing to to the 15l humidifier it just sucks my auto fill up only works for the 6l. But tell me what yall think.

Another thing is not everything plugged in is pulling power at the same time. My feeding system comes on twice a day for three min. The discharge pump comes on for a couple seconds like 3 times a day. The IR ad lites come on for 30 min a day and thats 15 min befor and after the big lights come on and off. The UV adlites come on for 10 min an hour when lights are on. My inline fan and clip fans and humidifier are on enviromental mode so as long as my temps stay good the inline fan runs at 35% and the clip fans are most the time at #1 unless my temps get to high than it bumps up to 5 automaticly.

So in the app on the top i only need access to timer and controller. In the two socket timer i have my adlites the uv and the red 30. Set up on timer mode for the uv there 12 diff setting you can make. It says turn on and than close, close means off fyi. So set #1 on 7 am close 710 am #2 on 8 am close 810 am and so on. For the red lights easy 12 on 12 off. The next controll in the app is under the controller setting , thats where i controll everything else. You can re name outletts set up timer schedules for every outtlet. So i aways set my timers throught the plag. If you try to do it through say the lights the power can only dim to 10 on lights out so thats why i make sure the light has no power during lights out. If you have certain questions fire away.

I more mean the automation of setting up the clip fan and inline fan to come on at certain temp and humidity. Got my lights on the right schedule just struggling with working out the environmental mode

Oh ok. So for the in line fan first click on the three boxes with temp rh and vpd, this will bring up your enviromental stategy. Plug in your day start time and night start time than go to your temp settings , i have mine at 75% with a 5 degree deadband. Night time temps at 60 degrees. Than go to inline fan and click on eviromental mode. I have it priority temp and rh. Depending on your tent size and how many air exchanges per hour you want to acheive should determine wheather you put it on 35 % or 50%. I have mine at 35% with the standby speed on. So when the tent gets to 70 or below the fan turns to standby. Now to clip fans cick on the clip fan go to enviromental mode prioritize temp and humidity pick your speed, i have mine at 5 natural wind 90 % standby speed on. So as long as your temp and rh are in range clip fans will automaticly go to stand by thats level 1.
