Our universal controller is our smartest fan control unit yet, capable of running in a variety of situations. Whether you are ventilating grow tents, crawl spaces, or boosting fireplace heating, it can respond to temperature and humidity changes. This will help give you the most comfortable space for your plants or your everyday living. So how does the universal controller achieve this?

Triggers

Your smart fan can be activated or deactivated by four triggers: high temperature, low temperature, high humidity, and low humidity. Using a simple probe, the universal controller detects changes in the environment to determine whether the fan should run.

The simplest setting is the high/low trigger, where your fan spins if your space is too hot or too cold. The same trigger mechanic applies if the humidity is too high or too low. This is ideal for maintaining a certain temp/humidity range that is cool and comfortable for you or your plants. Within these bounds, the fan will not run since the controller will detect your space is in your desired parameter.

Keep in mind that multiple triggers can be activated. As such, we recommend turning off triggers you won’t use.

One advanced programming you can use is setting your low temp/humidity trigger as the high trigger. Here’s how that works: Establishing your low trigger’s temperature or humidity above your high trigger will create a range in which the fan will run. Let’s say your low trigger is set to 85°F while your high trigger is set to 70°F. This trigger programming will activate your smart fan when temperatures are in between this 70-85° range.

Other settings

This smart controller can set your fan on a timer, allowing you to create a regulated environment when you need it for as long as you need it. Easily automate your fan’s runtime using a few simple button presses.

In extreme cases, the universal controller can help keep your room from getting too hot or cold using its alarm setting. By arming it to your highest and lowest tolerance, your fan will kick in at max capacity when a temperature or humidity boundary is broken.
