AC Infinity CONTROLLER AI+ Environment Controller UIS 8-Port with Temp & Humidity – AI-Powered Climate Automation

The AC Infinity CONTROLLER AI+ Environment Controller UIS 8-Port with Temp & Humidity is an advanced AI-powered environmental controller that automates and coordinates grow-room equipment while continuously monitoring temperature, humidity, and VPD.

Designed for grow tents, hydroponic systems, indoor gardens, greenhouses, propagation areas, and controlled growing environments, the CONTROLLER AI+ uses intelligent climate analysis to learn how the environment responds to connected equipment. It can then dynamically adjust compatible fans, grow lights, humidifiers, heaters, air conditioners, and other devices to help maintain more stable conditions.

With 8 UIS device ports, dual-zone environmental monitoring, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, a 4.5" display, and an included 12' temperature/humidity sensor, the controller provides centralized management for complex indoor growing systems. Eight devices can be connected directly, with support for up to 32 devices when compatible splitter hubs are used.

AI-Powered Environmental Control

Unlike conventional controllers that react only after an environmental threshold is crossed, the CONTROLLER AI+ analyzes climate patterns and learns how connected equipment affects the grow environment.

Its AI system can use previous environmental responses to help determine how much output compatible devices need, reducing the risk of excessive or insufficient adjustments.

This intelligent approach can help manage:

• Temperature
• Relative humidity
• VPD
• Ventilation
• Air circulation
• Lighting
• Humidification
• Heating
• Cooling

The goal is to create a more responsive environmental-control system that automatically adapts as conditions change.

8-Port UIS Controller

The CONTROLLER AI+ includes 8 UIS ports, allowing growers to connect multiple compatible devices to one centralized controller.

Compatible equipment can include:

• CLOUDLINE inline fans
• CLOUDRAY circulation fans
• Grow lights
• Humidifiers
• Heaters
• Air-conditioning equipment
• UIS outlet-controlled equipment
• Other compatible UIS devices

Each piece of equipment can become part of an integrated environmental-management system rather than operating independently.

The controller supports 8 devices directly and up to 32 devices with compatible splitter hubs.

Dynamic Equipment Output

The CONTROLLER AI+ can dynamically adjust compatible device output rather than relying only on basic ON/OFF commands.

Depending on the connected equipment, the system can manage functions such as:

• Fan speed
• Grow-light intensity
• Humidifier output
• Heater operation
• Cooling equipment
• Circulation fan settings

The AI analyzes environmental conditions and equipment performance to help determine appropriate output levels as conditions change.

This can produce smoother adjustments and help avoid large environmental swings.

Temperature Monitoring & Automation

The controller continuously monitors temperature using both its onboard sensor and included corded climate probe.

Compatible equipment can be coordinated to respond when temperatures rise or fall.

For example:

• Inline fans can increase ventilation
• Circulation fans can adjust airflow
• Heaters can operate when conditions become cooler
• Compatible cooling equipment can respond to higher temperatures

The specified operating temperature range is 32–140°F.

Humidity Monitoring & Automation

Relative humidity is another critical environmental measurement the CONTROLLER AI+ monitors.

The system can use humidity data to coordinate compatible:

• Humidifiers
• Exhaust fans
• Intake systems
• Circulation fans
• Other climate-control equipment

The controller is rated for operation in environments ranging from approximately 35–85% RH.

VPD Monitoring

Using temperature and relative humidity data, the CONTROLLER AI+ also monitors VPD (Vapor Pressure Deficit).

VPD provides another way to evaluate the relationship between temperature and humidity within the growing environment.

By incorporating VPD alongside temperature and humidity, the controller has additional environmental information it can use when coordinating compatible equipment.

Dual-Zone Climate Monitoring

One major advantage of the CONTROLLER AI+ is its dual-zone temperature, humidity, and VPD monitoring.

The system includes:

• An onboard temperature and humidity sensor
• A corded temperature and humidity sensor with a 12' cable

This allows growers to compare conditions in two different locations.

For example, one sensor can monitor the environment inside the grow tent while the second monitors conditions outside the tent.

This additional information can help the controller better understand the relationship between the cultivation area and surrounding environment.

12' Climate Sensor Probe

The included corded sensor features a generous 144" / 12' cable.

This lets you position the probe where climate measurements are most useful while keeping the controller mounted in a convenient location.

Possible sensor locations include:

• Plant-canopy level
• Inside a grow tent
• Outside a grow tent
• Propagation areas
• Greenhouse growing zones
• Equipment rooms

Proper probe placement helps provide more representative temperature and humidity readings.

Beginner & Advanced AI Modes

The AC Infinity app lets users choose an AI configuration based on their experience level.

Beginner Mode simplifies setup by letting the AI system take a larger role in controlling the environment based on the plants and connected equipment.

Advanced Mode provides more customization for growers who want greater control over environmental targets and equipment behavior.

This makes the CONTROLLER AI+ suitable for users who want straightforward automation and those who want more detailed environmental control.

Wi-Fi & Bluetooth Connectivity

The CONTROLLER AI+ supports both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity.

This allows integration with the AC Infinity app, where growers can access environmental information and device controls from a compatible mobile device.

Wi-Fi connectivity provides remote access when an internet connection is available, while Bluetooth supports convenient local communication with the controller.

AC Infinity App Integration

The AC Infinity app expands the CONTROLLER AI+ with additional monitoring, programming, and AI-assisted functions.

Depending on the connected equipment and configuration, the app provides access to:

• Real-time environmental readings
• AI-generated environmental insights
• Equipment controls
• Environmental alerts
• Historical climate charts
• Device programming
• Timers
• Trigger settings
• Minimum and maximum output levels
• Clip-fan oscillation controls
• Heater-mode controls
• Grow guides
• Articles
• Video tutorials
• AI chatbot assistance
• Environmental performance scores

The controller also retains programming if its Wi-Fi connection is interrupted, allowing established automation to continue operating locally.

AI Climate Pattern Analysis

A key function of the CONTROLLER AI+ is its ability to analyze how the environment changes over time.

Instead of treating every temperature or humidity change as an isolated event, the controller evaluates previous results and climate patterns.

This allows it to anticipate environmental changes and adjust compatible devices more dynamically.

For indoor growers managing multiple pieces of equipment, this can reduce the amount of manual coordination required between ventilation, heating, humidification, lighting, and circulation equipment.

Expandable Sensor Platform

The CONTROLLER AI+ is designed as an expandable environmental-monitoring platform.

The controller supports three sensors, including one built-in sensor, and AC Infinity offers or is developing additional sensor options for more advanced setups.

Optional sensor capabilities can include:

• CO₂ monitoring
• Soil moisture monitoring
• Water detection
• Hydroponic monitoring

AC Infinity also describes the platform as being designed for expanded monitoring capabilities such as CO₂, pH, EC, TDS, and water conditions, depending on compatible sensor availability and configuration. Optional sensors are sold separately.

Compatible with the UIS Ecosystem

The CONTROLLER AI+ is part of the AC Infinity UIS ecosystem, allowing compatible growing equipment to communicate through one centralized control platform.

This can include equipment for:

• Ventilation
• Air circulation
• Grow lighting
• Humidification
• Heating
• Cooling
• Outlet-based environmental devices

Growers can combine different equipment types to create a more coordinated indoor growing system.

Up to 32 Devices with Splitters

Although the controller includes 8 direct device connections, you can expand its capacity with compatible splitter hubs.

AC Infinity supports up to 32 devices with splitters.

This makes the CONTROLLER AI+ suitable not only for compact tents but also for larger growing environments containing multiple fans, lights, humidifiers, heaters, and other controlled equipment.

Large 4.5" Display

The controller features a 4.5" display that provides convenient access to environmental data and equipment information.

Its large interface and capacitive-touch controls make it easier to interact with the system directly without relying exclusively on the mobile app.

The controller measures approximately 5.8" x 3.42" x 0.94", maintaining a relatively compact footprint despite its expanded device and sensor capabilities.

Programming Continues Without Wi-Fi

The controller's established programming can continue operating even if the Wi-Fi connection is temporarily lost.

This means core environmental automation does not rely entirely on continuous internet access.

This feature is particularly valuable in automated indoor growing environments where fans, humidifiers, heaters, lighting, and other equipment may need to continue following programmed settings during a temporary network interruption.

Ideal for Advanced Indoor Growing Systems

The AC Infinity CONTROLLER AI+ can serve as the central environmental-management system for applications such as:

• Grow tents
• Grow rooms
• Hydroponic systems
• Indoor gardens
