How to use the Gavita EL1 Controller

[@neilfarmer08]

I appreciate you making this video. I had to wait a while to get my controller. I was able to hit the ground running because you made this. Thanks.

[@OneStopGrowShopHydroponics]

I couldn't understand because of the loud music. I really need to learn this. One thing I need to know is how to start over. I have the booklet that came with the controller and can't understand it. I'd like to just reset. idblove to watch a video of how to use it without loud background music or anything else the acent makes it harder as well. pleaseear with me and hopefully walk me thru this!!!

I APRICIATE THE CONTENT THE MUSIC MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND

[@mykelmedeiros1528]

This was very helpful & most this is the future. I am saving money for this project. Will this controller be compatible with the gavita pro 900?

[@zachhenriksen8119]

Hey im having troubles figuring how to set the time that the light turns off and on. I got the 12 on 12 off part of the cycle, but i don't know how to get a specific time for it to turn off or back on.

[@whatleysworld]

Just wanna town my lights on 😅 how??

[@lousimms4766]

Great video! Is there any info on the rate at which the light increases/decreases during sunset/sunrise and what's the limit? Can I have it ramp up/down over say, 2-3 hours time?

[@OneStopGrowShopHydroponics]

Hey mate, thanks for the kind words - yeah you can man, you choose how long you want that mode to be! If you need anything else from us man give us a shout!

[@justinlopez9516]

Would you mind doing a video on how you connected your controller to your lights I’m having trouble connecting mine to my 6 gavitas

[@OneStopGrowShopHydroponics]

Hey mate, we'll look to get this sorted for you! Cheers dude

[@armaniixv8662]

my gavita master el1 says overload, how do i fix this?

[@OneStopGrowShopHydroponics]

hey mate, give our shop lads a call and we'll talk you through it!

[@mariorodriguez6290]

Did you ever fix?

[@Aventura.out.]

I just purchased this Gavita Master EL1 Controller mainly to control my 8 Gavita Pro CMH 315e fixtures. I just want to set the EL1 controller so that the room temperature does not exceed 85°f/29°c. Would this be achieved in the "Auto Dimming" Setting

[@OneStopGrowShopHydroponics]

Hey dude, yeah mate spot on! That'll then turn your lights into dimming mode and then it'll cycle down until it hits the desired temperature, and then go back up when it can :)

[@minhtrinh2602]

Is there option to dim or turn off light spectrum? For example, I’d like to have more of blue light in veg and less in bloom.

[@OneStopGrowShopHydroponics]

Hey mate, not with the HPS fixtures no! If you want that control, you'll need to go to LEDs!

[@minhtrinh2602]

Oh, sorry I was referring to the Gavita Pro 1700e.

[@OneStopGrowShopHydroponics]

@@minhtrinh2602 with the Gavita Pro, it's a full spectrum light the whole way through so there's no need to change the spectrum!

[@billdawg100]

Having problems its saying sensor failure and shuts down any solutions?

[@OneStopGrowShopHydroponics]

hey dude, have you tried a factory reset?

[@junsu3161]

Can I set up Chinese?

[@giffsgaffs615]

Great video

[@OneStopGrowShopHydroponics]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@demkape]

I’ve set mine to stay on went back next day it was off why ?

[@OneStopGrowShopHydroponics]

hey man, can you give us some more info - did any errors pop up, have you got it on day/night mode etc? thanks mate!

[@demkape]

@@OneStopGrowShopHydroponics looks like the temp got too high in there

[@demkape]

@@OneStopGrowShopHydroponics is said TMP SHTDN

[@Dervish2387]

How many ballast you can add also what’s the different from the EL2

[@OneStopGrowShopHydroponics]

The EL2 is recommended if you're running two split rooms mate, they're very similar apart from that! You can run 40 on the EL1 and two channels of 40 on the EL2 (80 in total) If you need anymore help dude give us a shout!

[@Dervish2387]

@@OneStopGrowShopHydroponics thanks a lot

[@BehsUnited]

hey quys quick questions my master controller has had this issue couple times wondering if theres a solutions cus it seems like there isnt one. so for what ever reason my house loses power, the control panel doesn't reboot and turn the lights back on unless i show up and notice something happened and reset it. Is there a solution to this?

[@BehsUnited]

@@OneStopGrowShopHydroponics oh no I know how to reset it I'm saying is there a way the device does it on its self

[@OneStopGrowShopHydroponics]

@@BehsUnited agh I get you, so the Gavita controller unfortunately doesn't automatically reboot like the Dimlux maxi controller, we'd recommend putting it on an in uninterruptible power supply so if your power goes, it'd keep your controller on!

[@BehsUnited]

Thanks bro I'll look into it. Also will the dimlux work with my gavita LEDs?

[@feliciajones4392]

i have this controller with a sun system 1850 rs led light how do i make the light turn up and down and also the sunrise and sunset

[@JohnThomas-nf1lv]

I m asking exactly the same thing.. a friend messed with my light and Serbia up real fast like and didn't gave time to teach me how. so it's stuck on 12/12 @75% my runs over now and I don't know how þo switch it to 18/6 or 20/4. If you find out how to rub this thing will you teach me or ar least help me?

[@jamesdixon7115]

Did you find your answer? I run this exact combination. I can walk you through.

[@johnnythomas8036]

good evening, i want to get gavitas i’m new to this.. do i HAVE to buy the gavita controller for few hundred pounds or is there another cheaper way ?

[@ronaldkwant8763]

there is a cheaper way

[@OneStopGrowShopHydroponics]

Hey dude, you could simply use contactors and timers to control your lights - most people go for a controller though as it gives you many features that you can't do with timers, and they also run themselves once it's all setup!

[@johnnythomas8036]

One Stop Grow Shop it makes sense buying the controller i think.

[@OneStopGrowShopHydroponics]

@@johnnythomas8036 we'd always recommend it if possible man

[@johnnythomas8036]

One Stop Grow Shop what’s the latest controller and will it control my phresh v2 aswell?

[@jett7777771]

It would be so much better with out the back ground music..

[@waylonferrell9672]

I don’t like the music at all. Just tell us how the thing works. I don’t want to sound old but I can’t hear you as well over that music. If we want to hear music there is an app for that.
