I know amelech has bluetooth dimming but not sure if its 0-10v, probably pwm.

i already have 0-10v dimming via special ec fan controller. but that's not smart, i want everything being controlled by one controller which i can change settings via internet. so far nobody offers that :/

illumi has both 4 channel PWM and 0-10V Bluetooth versions
Link to tests we ran recently with 4 channel PWM(only used 3 channels) on 2 Solskin 3 channel boards

we are going to package up a whole range of tuneable grow systems using illumi

these are the most promising ones so far:

trolmaster hydro-x is nice, but doesn't do EC fans and needs the aqua-x for irrigation control
growcontrol growbase EC can control everything, but is dumb af, no logging and no app
mycodo could probably do it, but thats hardcore DIY only
koada looked nice on paper, but probably MIA

hello sir @GreeneryBob ! @welight
i finaly receiv 3 new illumi meshtek
that version allow with one driver to to power 4 different channel!


by removing the jumper and adding and aux power you unlock the 60v power :D


anyway i did install properly the device, pair the illumi stuff with my driver inventronics EUK-240S670DV and my phone
https://www.inventronics-co.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/DS-EUK-240SxxxDVTV_Rev.-C.pdf


ps: i did plug the output v+/v- to the input aux of the illumi pcb but didnt connect the vpgrog or dim +/- from the driver.
i respected all the instruction
i use the horticulture app from illumi on my iphone.
the illimu pcb look to be well installed, the green led is On on it
i was able to dim the power of my solstrip channel ( i pluggged only 48v white nichia channel) , i could power up and down in live the white channel, i was happy ....
i tryed to use the scheddule; first just the on/ off fonction.
i putted one action schedul to turn on the light and turn off 1 minut after...but nothing happened.
i try many time, use another illumi pcb, but nothing, everytime the same scenario ....

after that i tried just illumi with one channel of xqe 660 from the solstrip, without put off the jumper....
same scenario:
able to dim on and off on live
impossibility to make reel my scheddule ive done.... :'(

someone here had the same probleme?
my be probleme with the driver?

neeed help , i may do a special tread for illumi problem?
thank you!

Can you advise which part of the app you use. Did you use the Schedule On/Off or the Lighting?
You need to use the Lighting section
Cheers

i was using this horticulture application from illumi that one of theire staff member gave me:
https://rink.hockeyapp.net/apps/2eec01394d164db385a225fa2fb0b24f
i also use the schedule ON/OFF it dosent do what i asked for
i also use the scenario mode , same result
i am just asking myself that after reading the notice:

"The MeshTek® 4 Channel PWM Smart Lighting Controller (SLC) is a plug & play controller, providing an interface between a standard non-dimmable LED driver(s) and LED load(s) thereby making an LED fixture/luminaire smart"

my inventronics drivers are dimmable, pwm /0-10v
the prog wire of my drivers are not plugged
i give you guyz picture of the driver notice, i really need help to understand how it work, and if its can work with my drivers.


so im just think that its cause of my dimmable driver.... maybee i need non dimable driver to work with the illlumi?
@welight did you use the scheddul well and with a dimmable driveR?

Seems this driver is not dimmable down to off like the smaller Meanwell drivers(240 and below). If the controller is just dimming down to off you need a siutable driver. But thats just a guess because I've not used them myself(till now).
But its a really interesting device. Coincidally I need 4 dimmable drivers to power my 2 new fixtures and thats a much better solution as just using several Sonoffs.
Where have you ordered them? Do they have the 2 or better the new 4 channel 0-10v model too?

@Randomblame I posted a model number and contact info earlier in the thread for a 4 channel ilumi controller that uses 0-10v dimming. I believe i is only available directly from ilumi and not really posted yet. I haven't really played with using the scheduler as of yet as I run a redundant sonoff for timers and just use it as a dimmer.

https://www.mouser.ca/new/ilumi/ilumi-meshtek-controller/ <<<<<<<< dont buy these ones

the new ones that mouser doesn't carry yet have a 4 channel 0-10v and you need to talk on the phone to a real person to order them.
MTA4SLC is the part number $40US ish each plus shipping and taxes, etc. 18885020575

I see scheduling but hoping... could this do an on for X, off for Y schedule like 15/5, or 11/1?

Yeah, I've already copied part#, tutorial.pdf and the links you have posted. Just thought G. has maybe found them elsewhere.
Can you directly buy them from Ilumi like you buy for instance Sonoffs from itead?
Do they have a shop on their website or do I have to contact them somehow?
And a last question..
Can you dimm each channel independently or are they all dimmed in once?
In the description they say one 0-10v signal source but 4 channels. That confuses me a bit...

Yes, I am able to dim each channel from off to full power independantly. I haven't used separate timers for each channel.
