Hey guys, so I had to sideline my project for awhile . However, I am back, I got some LEDs up and running, however now I need a controller and am going to make some changes as well.
I am curious about Controllers, I am dealing with old posts and half infos. So what I want and is there a controller that can suit it.
So my LEDs consist of 7 total channels, 4 of those are CW, (Vero 29 COBs, 1 COB per) 1 of them is WW, (Vero 29 2 COBs + Deep Red LEDs) 1 of them is Royal Blue, and the Last one is 2 T5HO UV-B lights on a 0-10v Dimming Ballast.
What I want to do, is vary the light, so that morning is WW, to mimic morning sun, then Fade into CW (with some blue) for the midday, then fade back into WW for the evening. All the while the UVB, increases and decreases separately (Ramps up in the morning, and down at night).
However, I also want the Cloud Coverage/Lightning to leverage my unique LED setup if I can, so the 4 whites, are independently flashed for Lighting, and cloud affects move through them. Storms and Clouds, need to be Scheduled, not Location based!
What I have seen and am basing from.
Storm Controller:
Can not schedule my Morning, Midday, Evening lighting, nor do anything on a per channel basis (Seriously, why would anyone buy this?)
Does not have the ability to do Lighting on per led, or even just on white channel, it flashes all the colors (Again? Really?)
Bluefish:
Can not schedule Clouds/Storms??? This is another one of those, WTH??? The location stuff is cool, but forcing us into that is silly.
I am not sure about per channel lightning, or clouds.
Apex:
Absurdly priced. (maybe if your a reefer, this is for a Viv, 99% of what it does is wasted)
Doesnt have 5v PWM control does it?
Is there any other controllers, is any of my info Wrong/Out of Date?
