An Energy Management Solution For Your Indoor Garden
Among the SmartBee Plug-n-Play Networking family, the Stinger Smart Plug, Stinger Smart Power Strip 4, and 24V Dry Contact Controller (DCC8) integrate with The Hive™ Gateway to centralize input from multiple SmartBee Smart Plugs for an energy management solution for your Indoor Garden. Load consumption information from attached electrical devices can be communicated for monitoring or control of all attached appliances. Information including on/off status, operating range and erratic behavior can be determined and used to initiate subsequent actions, such as powering on or off a device. A key benefit of SmartBee Power Controls is more efficient usage of energy, resulting in decreased costs for you Indoor Garden.
24V Dry Contact Controller
Ideal for multi-zone irrigation systems
The Hive communicates with the DCC8 over your network to turn relays ON or OFF, and uses sensor data to compare conditions to set points, and turn the required electrical appliances ON or OFF controlling your appliances to your desired settings. A perfect solution for greenhouses or an indoor garden, the SmartBee 24V Dry Contact Controller is great for actuating blackout appliances and louvers that aid light deprivation applications.
The SmartBee DCC8 Controls up to 8 HIGH-VOLTAGE appliances using 24V RELAYS
The SmartBee 24V Dry Contact Controller, allows you to step down your high-voltage relays to operate low-voltage appliances giving you variety of use options that may be suitable to your established electrical configuration. The eight relay dry contact controller is ideal for opening low-voltage solenoids serving multi-zoned irrigation systems within a single microclimate.
If you’re running different crop varieties in one room, a common practice is to irrigate in zones thus maximizing the efficiency of each of the crops individual feeding needs. The 24V Dry Contact Controller has the ability to utilize the SmartBee App’s irrigation schedules in the same way you would normally schedule irrigations in the system. You may be currently plugging several solenoids onto a control device such as a Smart Strip 4 (SS4). Now you can wire those same zones into the 24V Dry Contact Controller and have the same control while freeing up some controllable outlets you currently use for irrigation.
