In-line fan with Wi-Fi controller wanted!

Easy ppl

im looking to get a in-line fan with a controller with Wi-Fi that will allow me to set max temps and RH that will crank up the fan to lower such problems.

I have seen a couple but want to know if anyone has experience and can recommend any.

marsh hydro fan and controller

Many people here running AC Infinity. I have the 67 controller, for fans only. I'd like to have the 69 Pro, it controlls 4 devices. They have one comming that will controll 8 devices.

BTW, it's best to go big with variable speed fans. Bigger is better than a little too small and a bigger fan at lower speed is quiter.

I also have 4 Inkbirds for temp and humidity, good stuff. I won't buy mars.

Ok cool, yeah I’m going to get the bigger fan this time probably just 6inch that will be more then enough and was told its the best way.

I had 2 separate temp and RH ink bird controllers that I had set up perfect and never needed to touch them again and my lights and heater set and left but the idea of Wi-Fi and being able to control it and check in anywhere has got me wanting one!!

with the AC controller and 4 device options is that AC products only or anything can be plugged in and controlled?

cheers

I have the Vivosun controller that lets me control lights, vent fan and circulation fan. I have a Infinity temp humidity outlet controller coming that I am going to use to adjust conditions on air coming in to tent. I have vivoson Temp humidity gauges that integrate with controller so I can monitor air intake. Then I can use Infinity controller connection to fine tune air intake.

I have posted the question does anyone use Vivosun GrowHub Smart Controller E42
Several people have viewed the thread but no responses. I am having issues loading the recipe and CS has been out to lunch on responses.

Similar story here…

I started with a PulseOne, ink birds for RH and temp and spent hours juggling RH to keep VPD in range. No more!

As soon as I could get one, I bought an AC Infinity Controller 69 and have a humidifier, an inline fan, an oscillating fan, and a tent fan all connected to it. I was able to retire three those separate controllers and automate the entire process, as well.

The setup has worked well for a couple of grows, so much that I only have to go into the tent (hydro) every other day. Their sensors calibrate easily and are very responsive (1 second sample rate). The software is very well done (I've been writing business software for 30+ years)

I can't recommend then highly enough (but avoid their lights).

I just did the search again and just my posting came up. The other posting I think I saw was Vivosun post announcing the product.
It is also supposed to act as a gateway and might allow me to control the Infinity controller through it.

hello!

i just got a vivosun aerozesh fan with the E42A controller today and set it up, i put it on auto and it seems that the fan never shuts off even when the temp is back down to 80 it still goes on low even below and same with RH i have set at 62 for high and when it hits even 55 it's still running on low.... am i messing something up or is this how it is? My acinfinity i can set to shut off at X away from whatever number so I have it set at 2. RH hits 60 and the fan will turn on and shut of at 58..... can i do the same with the vivosun?

Mine does the same thing, it does shut off from time to time. I have noticed have not figured the pattern yet.
Have run it for two weeks trying to establish a base line.
Seeds germinated going to pop them in soil mix tonight after hockey game

to my understanding the humidity will allways override the temps? soo

vivosun for the win! i use the e42, 3 of their 6inch aerowave fans and their 6"exaust all running together and the app makes it easy to control and monitor! use code JayDoobie at checkout to save yourself an extra %15 off your entire order

do yourself a favor and return it if u still can and get an acinfinity. i have one setup of theirs already and i just returned the vivosun. go to www.acinfinity.com and it's 10% off and then use homegrowtv i forget which one and you get another 10% off it's literally like $25 more for a acinfinity inline fan, carbon filter and a much better controller. It came to 161 and change for a 4''. and if you don't want the wifi controller you can get the bluetooth for less or the manual for probably the same price as vivosun.... just guessing.

temp and humidity was below. i don't think one overrides the other because if they're both above X then it will say on until both are below X. X being whatever temp/RH you set.

I think i got my inkbird 6" for 100$ on sale
yeah its on sale again cyber monday

I am pretty sure u can set a min fan speed, but I would be sure. I got the fan and then never set it up proper. Be sure u buy one that you can set a minimum fan speed

the hidden variable here is co2. Even if temp and humidity are in check, you want co2 optimal. this is where minimum fan speed can help

im probably nowhere near the co2 level of growing yet.

Four out of five germinated I started them in the tent in soil coco mix.. No I am going to run with Vivosun for a bit more. I has some features I like.
I have one of the Infinity outlet controller on its way here. So I will get some exposure to the Infinity interface.

I'm not talking supplemental co2. When you drop your fan down the co2 inside the tent drops, and will hinder growth. It is good to constantly bring in some air to keep up with what the plants are using. The controller works off of humidity and temp but the hidden vector is co2. Adding a co2 monitor and adjusting minimum fan speed to bring in natural co2 is pretty important

I like AC Infinity stuff. Maybe worth mentioning that the rotating option stopped working after around 9 months for me. Gears in there must be stripped. I need a replacement, but may opt for a less expensive fan, as they will need replacing anyway. Will lose the remote option by doing so. Just a consideration.
