Great minds think alike. I sent them another email and then started searching about switching the dimmer.

Not automated yet, was looking at christmas timers out for christmas. With people synchronization to music and christmas lights together, yhose timers have changed alot.
Anyone look at those lately? Sure look complicated.

Personally I like the manual timers. Get a couple and set them to 18/6 and 12/12. Trade them out, plug them in, and forget about it.
But then again I kind of miss land lines and rotary phones

I’ve talked to AC infinity on how to connect the Type-B to my HLG lights. They didn’t really have a clue if I didn’t have that telephone line connector. I think HLG sends an adapter for it that looks like:
I did end up taking my dimmer off to see what it looked like and if the connection was possible and… it seems so! I’ll be giving it a try and keeping you guys updated. Here’s the dimmer connections:

@dbrn32 any clue on where the RJ wire would be in this dimmer box? Or if it would be located there? I know my growers choice has the RJ cables for daisy chaining that i use with the master controller so if its not visible im not sure

Yes I saw this, if you go to another page in the FAQ they have a section with the telephone line connector with red and black cables. I’m gonna try to rewire it and if it works I’ll maybe make a YouTube video on it as a tutorial. I didn’t find any on YouTube and it would probably be good if I did a tutorial to help others.

I use the ones they sale for outside Xmas lights.
They are water resistant and typically have 2 outlets and its nice haveing the short peice of wire so its not blocking other plugs.
I like these better myself, my lighting schedule isn’t something i alter much so I’d never use any fancy digital feature or wifi functions…

These work well for my setup,although you would have to add 1 male / 1 female
extension cord end.
Good to know. They have one of those RJ11 boxes for $3 on HLG. The dream is still alive.
Do you have more dimming options now? Can you put it anywhere between 0 and 100% output? If so that’s gonna be really nice for dialing in DLI.

Yes I do have options from 0-10 for dimming. It’s actually pretty great. Maybe I could make a video tutorial on YouTube or something for it. It’s nice.

There was a few doubts in mine… 
I even contacted AC Infinity and they said they don’t know if it’ll work, but I did it

I have a lot of stuff from AC Infinity and most of it is pretty good. I’m not convinced the people we get to contact have much of idea as to how their own stuff works, let alone stuff from another company.
