My problem with a 100% sealed room are phantom deficiencies/problems. I know, i know, everything is supposed to be gravy if you supply the cooling via ac, keep humidity in check via dehu+ac, and add the CO2. Unfortunately theres some unexplainable problem that pops up. It doesn't make sense. It isn't talked about that much. But, i'm not the only one who has experienced these problems. Dumping the room periodically corrects the problem though.

Sure have a funny way of expressing it. And that wasn't a quote at all. This: "If you're using A/C and co2, why have an exhaust? " is a quote.

(Res level, auto top off, light sched, nute dosing, pH probe, temp probe, heater & cooler control, with a iPhone app than both controls and monitors (no CO2 probe however) argh....

Man...i wish they had controllers like that when I used to dabble in tubes(aero). Some day, I actually will hook myself up with a way to monitor while i'm away. They have it already and i'm late. Way late.Neptune Apex baby

Thats sweet man. I've always thought about how nice it would be to have the whole garden automated. I worked at Scott's seed company in the R&D department for a while. They had a greenhouse that was completely automated. The whole time I was there I'd just day dream of the amount of buds you could produce in that place.Neptune Apex baby

I just hooked up my autopilot master controller 2 days ago. I ordered it from Hydro galaxy. Cheapest place I found it. $420. I ordered it , the power expander for my window a/c, the internet cable for the controller & a regulator. all came out to $688 with 2 day shipping.
This is my first time using co2 but with the fuzzy logic i can see all the measurements on my computer. my co2 levels stay between 1200 - 1300 ppm while lights are on. I downloaded Temviewer on my pc so now I can see the grow room conditions & adjust them on my Ipad, or phone from anywhere i get internet. For the money I definitely think its worth it.

Pertaining to the autopilot and controlling a sealed room ..6 Gavitas in a 10x15 room 3ton minisplit a/c .. co2 4 burner ...100 pint dehumid... carbon filter pulle by 10'' Q-max ...when the lights go off the temp go down to low 60s and humidity gets to 90s ...will running the a/c through a power expander to be able to plug it into autopilot GMC with dehumid...and co2 and plug the Qmax in the last outlet fix the dial in problem or will i still need more dehumid.....?

Run solenoids off the controllers. Can't run A/Cs, dehumidifiers, and heaters off just 15 Amps.Just the A/C and a co2 regulator you should be fine.

The "cooling" outlet is where you plug exhaust fans in. If you have A/C and co2, why exhaust?

So.........not quoting me at all. Maybe the " u stupid piece of shit" was somebody standing behind you, like your kids or wife.

Why is your room getting down to the low 60's when lights out? I like 68-70F.
It's very possible that it's too cold, and Dehu's do not work well when cold. In fact, most won't pull moisture out at all, when too cold. Make sure there is heat coming out the backside of the dehu
It's usually a symbiotic relationship between the dehu and the ac during lights out in a sealed growroom. The dehu dries the room making heat. The ac will need to come on when it gets too warm, and then repeat.

I like the idea of the master controllers, but I never got into them.
For starters, they are limited on juice, yes you can setup separate contactor boxes but everything still has to be wired to it (has to be in general vicinity, or use extension cords)
I just automate with individual controls.
If your going that route, make sure when you unplug something and plug it back in, make sure it comes back on at that setting.
