BadGaskets Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Because of life, I had to set aside aquatics for about a 8 years, but I just bought a few tanks over the weekend and am dusting off my old LED stuff. I have a handful of Meanwells and similar dimmable drivers (analog 0-10v, not pwm) but I want some automatic sunrise/sunset options so that I'm not terrorizing the fish every day with a sudden on/off. I have plenty of LEDs so all I really need are the programmable 0-10v dimmers. I'm doing this on a budget, so it doesn't have to be pretty, but I'm hoping to find something as "ready to use out of the box" as possible. I am particularly interested in anything that is WiFi or Bluetooth, to use an app on my phone. Quote Link to comment
Maas101 Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Not "ready to use out of the box" unfortunately but its not difficult to build a reef-pi lighting controller. https://learn.adafruit.com/reef-pi-lighting-controller it will do everything you need and can be controlled from computer / phone. 2 Quote Link to comment

Ok, this is interesting. My 13 year old might also enjoy this. I appreciate it. 2 Quote Link to comment
Maas101 Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 The bonus is that you can also use the same Pi to control many other aquarium functions as well. It's a good system Quote Link to comment
