Mean Well drivers and dimming

Am I missing something or do Mean Well drivers fall short on wireless dimming options? Or just controller options in general?

Some have a plug that you can remove which allows dimming with a Philips head screwdriver.

Yeah, love that feature. It's just that the dim+ and dim- is only for a 0-10v analog dimmer and doesn't seem to be able to power a bluetooth controller.

Fingers broken? Kids these days with their Bluetooth this and Instagram that.... Use the dial. Lmao
I remember the old days when we used to raise and lower light levels by adjusting the height of your light. Now there's a total mind fuck for ya!

If you had a grow room with 40 fixtures, would you rather go light to light and dial in approximate PPF's one by one, or would you rather just open an app and control the timer, dimmer, slow on and slow off?

Maybe you should have thought of that during your build out. Would it be handy?.. sure. I’m just as lazy as the next old man.

Check out ERP https://www.erp-power.com/ - they have a bunch of wireless and programmable options and are competitive price wise with Meanwell. Arrow has them on clearance occasionally so u can get them super cheap.

Right on. Wish they had higher wattage options. Seems like they come in pairs

Heinous

I did a quick search are there are numerous bluetooth PWM dimmers, but they all need a sperate 12-24V power supply.

this is the one I was thinking of that is 260W. They have 2 outputs so u could get creative with driving different colored strips with the same driver, or run one channel at full power. The challenge i had is matching up led modules with the exact driver.
