Two questions: is this unit appropriate for grow and traditional 12/12 cycling? Can it be controlled with an on/off timer?

i don't quite understand your question but i can tell you that you can set many different on off scenarios which is awesome. In fact, i have two tree zones that i now turn on for 5 minutes each day then the other stations on fixed days of the week as normal controller. The app function is very nice as well. i hope this helps.

Thanks to your question, I just discovered that it could. Set it at zero & push start/stop. It's a good timer. Hope this helps. - Guy

Yes, this will work with a timer (any LED light with a regular plug should work with a timer). I haven't used it with a refugium, but any light that allows plant/algae growth should work fine. I'd say go with this one, it'll be enough.

Hello. This is a consumer grade thermostat so it does not allow for cycles per hour. You can set the the turn on or off point to be 1-3 degrees.

Yes, you do not have to use timer with this particular unit. You can program scene or not and just use device to turn on & off

Any timer would work fine with the light. Hydro farm sells a 7 day digital one that you can have different settings throughout the week but even a cheap analog timer from Walmart would work fine with it

Maybe. One of the nicest features of this timer is that it comes preprogrammed out of the box to go on at sunset and off at 11pm(?). I found that cycle perfect so didn't need to program. Assume if the power goes out the default setting will always be there but not sure if you were to change the default. My guess would be yes based on experience with other similar ones but not sure.

I keep my unit set at 68--it will cycle off and on. I also turn it on only when I use the room it is in....either way it cycles off and on--call warenty service!

No. It will not do 24 on-off cycles per day. The limit is 8. Also it has a minimum on time of 1 minute.

You can control this by using a PID, an SSR with a PWM circuit, or a SSR-V, which is an SSR to which you can just connect a potentiometer to control its on/off state. The element itself is either on or off, but using one of those options you are basically cutting power in and out to the element at set intervals (which may be on the order of milliseconds or up to seconds at a time, depending on which you use). I use an SSR-V and a potentiometer only, and it works great. I can basically turn it full on or full off, or anywhere in between. If I were doing it again, I'd use a PID, and I probably will upgrade soon.

Yes. Easily. I turn off the timer during the rainy season, and routinely change the battery on the first day of each Spring. We take extended vacations during the summer. The time is very reliable and easy to program for drip irrigation. Hope that answers your question.

You will need to plug it in to a timer if you want it on a schedule. Without a timer, this regulator is either on or off. You can adjust the flow rate, but that is all.

Not at all.. I run it 16 hours a day. It's a 54 watt single bulb. Every two weeks I have been starting seeds on a mat and putting 24 plants (vegetables) in a greenhouse. The root systems under the light are surprisingly healthy. I currently have a couple of hundred plants going. In terms of value for both price and electricity.. You can't lose. Good luck..!!

Lorraine there is a "timer" feature but this is for the entire unit. I do not believe you can program a specific feature on this unit...I like mine a full throttle as I love that "clean" smell. it can be over-powering in smaller rooms for some. a client has one in her office which is very tiny. I love the smell but others hate it and find it too strong. this is my second unit for my personal home...I can only tell the difference when I have been gone all day and then come home-if the windows have not been open to let fresh air in... so...yes the ozone can be turned on/off manually and no it does not have a specific feature just for specific categories (to my knowledge)

the unit has a front panel switch that lets it operate manually. You can select a zone and watering time, but cannot run any program.Refer to www.onpointeco.com/activeFiles/wp1000Manual.pdf

Well this is very simple but it is also very small it is for a desktop garden. You could use it with a small single LED or CFL grow light configuration.. (Grow light would have to out side the unit).
