Anyone have any experience hooking up an air handler to a grow room controller like the Agrowtek GC-C or the iPonic 600? Or any of the other brands for that matter?

I have been running the iponic 600 for almost a year now. I have to say IT IS NOT READY FOR THE MARKET. Look guys, if you want an expensive toy that can turn your lights on, or that you can see the conditions of your room with via the web (instead of a $70 webcam) then by all means buy one. But if you really want to control an environment this thing isnt ready. Its buggy, randomly activates opposing equipment, I have had 2 units fail, and there have been times when it just stopped sending info to the cloud and just shut down. This all may be fine if you have a tent or a closet, but if you really want to remotely monitor or control a room... random malfunctions can cause very expensive mistakes. I have been patient and tried to work with the manufacturer but bottom line this isnt rocket science. We are talking about basic programming and a bunch of relays. I'd say give them a few years and if they are still around... try it out.
