AI in the grow

Great idea on transmitter>UIS plug>splitter> multiple UV lights.

I’ll be interested in seeing how your power outage simulation goes. We had our third power outage in seven days last night. Horribly, Texas has set a new standard for measuring flooding. The daily storms here have an impact, but are trivial. Washed out roads and power outages.

Anyway, my light didn’t come on again. I don’t have the new AI controller. I’m curious about the UIS plug. My small assortment of AC products (humidifier, exhaust fan and clip fan) all came back on. The light plugged in to the UIS plug did not. I again had to delete the automation and set it up again to get the light to come one. Unplugging the UIS doesn’t do it.

Getting some good learning experience, so I won’t bitch too much. I’m getting ready to post a photo asking if I have a hermaphrodite White Widow outdoors, but I know the answer. First time and all, it’s nice to have confirmation. Probably chopping a plant out there.

I did a power outage test on the new fans. I’ll have to tape over the idiot lights. Turning it off and on keeps your settings.

Loss of power resets everything to default. So lights are back on and any oscillation settings are lost.

Not a huge deal as we check the plants daily and durning the fall/winter we don’t suffer brown/black outs.

So if you use any of the Costco fans just be aware they will need to be reset after power loss and taping the lights might be a good idea.

All good here on a power outage simulation!
Takes a minute or two to reboot but everything picks up where it left off aside from missing some time.
The clock continues working even though there's no power so if power cuts at 5:15 and is off for an hour, when it resumes it will be 6:15 so no need to reset timers or any of that.

Yeah the Costco fan, like my ceiling fan, simply shut off and do not come back on. The ceiling fan light comes back on so I had to disable it but as far as the ACI stuff goes, it does exactly what I'd want it to do in a power outage for me.
