I have AC Infinity controller 69AI. Are other vendor products like gorilla or vivisun lights compatible? Would I need to get additional controllers?

I use the AI Controller, First of all the AI function really Not that smart as if you Set your own automatisms ( the devices works against each other way to often ) so the previous controller I think so would do the same for less bucks Second, I use the AC Infinity T5 Termofog, the AC Infinity Heater, CO2 Sensor from AC, RH/Humitity Sensor from AC, work properly… Non AC Infinity products Are my light Mars hydro (SP3000) / 2 UVB Bars / Ventilation There are adapter/power plugs from AC that work with the UIS protocol from the AI Controller… pretty expensiv on EU market, hard to get & you still Need an US - EU adapter… through These Adapter you pretty much can control anything because those adapter provide the UIS Protocol Not your device… so potentially can… I wouldnā€˜t grow another grow without a controller myselfe once Set up properly

UIS is not an actual usbc only AC products will work, as far as lights if your light has an RJ11 dimmer port which almost all do AC make a RJ11 light adapter, there are 2 types A/B one is 0-10v dimming system and the other is a resistor based dimming system, check with your lights OEM to see which is needed. All the lights i have ever used have been 0-10v. You could wire one up yourself if your good with that stuff, but the adapters are only 15-20 bucks

In other words, you can connect anything to the controller that use the UIS protocol ( any newer AC Infinity products or via a AC Infinity Control Plug that is connected to the AI controller) The Control Plug works like an on & off switch that provides power via set variables in the controller for example : on if RH above 80% / of if RH below 80% ( ventilation connected via Plug )

depends on what it is and how it was controllable from the manufacturer. ACI's use of a special USB with a dedicated 5V on is def 100% the best for consumer use. translating the original cord into the USB-C might require an adapter and a dongle for control ability

I had similar questions to you about the equipment I have and compatability. I sent AC infinity an email and within a week I got a reply off them and pretty much all the equipment I wanted to connect to it wouldn't work properly. Send them an email with your equipment and they should sort you out. I have an ac infinity Extractor but the model I have wasn't even compatible with the new Ai controller so I'd have to buy the newer version of the Extractor fan if I bought the new controller. I was a bit pissed that none of my equipment would work as that controller looks perfect for controlling everything
