That's a really nice interface. Might have to pick one up to try myself - no duties is nice too.

I just learned these guys have an ESP8266 inside so we can hack it open, add a wireless dimmer and create our own interface / logic. Stay tuned!

I’m interested in these also. Can you test if it will auto resume after a power outage or will you have to manually turn on. Thanks.

Do these require an internet connection or can you run them on your own internal network?

You need to flash them with alternative firmware to run them them without connecting them to the internet.
There is a lot of documentation out there. The most promising firmware seems to be Tasmota.

Nice. I’d prefer to have that control.

Yes - it’s something I’m working up to. I’ve got a raspberry pi to use. I’m especially interested in controlling my garden’s environment.

we should work on automating the environment control to keep VPD on set
