Controls 4 different devices independently.
Built In wifi.
10 setting for clip on fans.
Hell yeah.
I’ll use 1 of these controllers to run 2 clip on fans at different intervals for random wind movements & Control the inline fan & lighting.
Hell I might just buy the dam light+ Controller 69 + 6" inline fan & clip on fan and tent. 100% ac infinity branded gear lol early self Christmas gift haha.
@GrouchyOldMan I know this is an old thread, but I got my Controller 69 -wifi a few months ago.
I am curious what benefit a programmable circulation fan holds over a dumb oscillating fan?
I totally get the exhaust factor using the Cloudline T6 etc, and I utilize it heavily as my last level of control. I am just not comprehending the benefit of “programmable” circulation, vs a static low/high speed model.
Can you give me a use case?
I do like some of the other options for the Controller 69. Trying to figure out if their 0-10v dimmer is compatible with Spider Farm SF4000.
Also intrigued by their basic programmable outlet that you can plug whatever you want into
TBH, I am using my AC Infinity fan way less than I anticipated, sort of as a last resort control as you suggested. My other enviro controls, AirCon, dehuy and humidifier handle things by themselves, so a little high humidity exhaust is the only time it turns on.
I do look at the AC-Inf app on my phone for the data stream and graphs but the damned blue tooth weak signal drives me nuts! It flicks on and off upstairs and is only practical when I’m standing in the grow room.
So it goes, I’ll likely upgrade to the wi-fi version the next time the aggravation mounts.
Hi @Pigeonman,
I looked at those but couldn’t see how they could be used in this case. They all seemed to be designed to extend audio signals for headphones. The AC Controller doesn’t have a way to push its bluetooth signal through an extender, no cable output.
I’d stoked if you can explain how they could be used here.

PS, to make things more maddening, the weather seems to be a factor in my case. As the temps here went down along with a drop in humidity, the signal strength increased and I can now kinda sorta connect to the controller from upstairs. So Yay!
Damn I was hoping for better builds with the extenders but I see the issue. Quickly looking deeper it seems like a job for a Bluetooth Repeater OR Bluetooth mesh system.
Fuck this is a pain. Why do “upgrades” always seem to move the progress backwards?
Yep! I look after gear still running from the 60’s. All the mechanical and analogue items are maintainable so long as I can find the components… Anything built after 2000’ is questionable, and after 2010 usually useless after 4-5 years.
Just like the majority of kids born after then as well!
(*note, my co-worker is a 24 year old powerhouse of a woman that proves that the 1 out of 10 are worth the other shitty 9.)
Additionally I’m mentally exhausted from learning a new piece of kit or software only for most of that info to be useless when the next version rolls out in 2-3 years, or worse a total change-over of the interface when there’s major firmware update. “Here’s your camera… learn it again!” “Oh you know that software you knew so intimately? well here’s an update where we changed our fundamentals so you can feel like a nube again!”
I am so with you guys on this!
I spent most of my adult life operating and programming computer systems, from mainframes that took up half a building, through the mini’s and the micros. They all had their foibles but the really annoying part was constant re-tooling for the next big thing!
I had the double whammy for a decade, designing and coding for both Apple Macs and Micro$oft. Each of them crappy and self-serving in ways that made both developers and end users frustrated.
I ended up retiring because I just didn’t want to completely abandon the trim and functional HTML platform in favor of the gizmo and widget laden cosmetic capabilities of CSS. That was the precursor to today’s websites with pages so crapped up as to be almost unreadable.
Not to mention the blatant planned obsolescence.
There are times when I’m sorta glad I’m OLD!
