SMART GROW SYSTEM
The VIVOSUN Smart Grow System (SGS) is a fully automatic grow system empowering growers by making growing easier and more convenient. The system includes the VIVOSUN GrowHub Controller, the VIVOSUN App, the AeroLight, the VS Grow Light series, the AeroZesh, the AeroWave E6 circulation fan, and a number of forthcoming smart devices. The Vivosun SGS provides automatic equipment and climate control, remote monitoring, personalized recipes, all with an intuitive UI, that helps everyone grow what they love.
The GrowHub controller displays internal and external temperature, humidity, and VPD (Vapor Pressure Deficit). It also shows timer settings for lights and fans, with options for automatic control.
CONTROLLING OTHER GROW LIGHTS
The VIVOSUN SGS GrowHub controller E42/E42A can control grow lights from other brands with a RJ11 cable*. Once connected to the GrowHub E42/E42A, your light can be automated and control the following: light dimming, light cycles, operation time, sunrise/sunset modes, spectrum, etc. You can connect the 1st light to the controller and use daisy-chain for the rest lights to control a group of lights. Daisy-chaining lights of the same brand is recommended, as daisy-chaining lights from different brands can be unpredictable (but usually does work).
Once your light is connected to the GrowHub, it will join the VIVOSUN SGS family with Wi-Fi control ability. You can use the VIVOSUN app to control lights, visit data log of environmental conditions, grow recipes, receive alerts about climate changes, etc. As a member of the VIVOSUN SGS, your lights will work with other connected devices like ventilators, circulation fans, humidifiers to create a suitable environment for growing your plants.
Light Connection
You must use the RJ11 cable provided (with VIVOSUN SGS label) to connect your light and the GrowHub Controller E42/E42A to the E port of the controller. Next, connect the included 12V power adapter to the type-C port (either A or B) on the controller and to an AC outlet (your home outlet) to provide power to the controller. If you have other VIVOSUN SGS devices connected to the same controller, the 12V power adapter will not be needed as the controller will receive power from the VIVOSUN product. If you want to use the VIVOSUN AeroLight, please connect it to the RJ45 port (F) on the controller with the VIVOSUN SGS RJ45 cable (included with the AeroLight).
Note: Some lights may need to turn to the controlled mode (like "EXT") before they can be controlled by GrowHub E42/E42A. See details on the manual of your light or contact the manufacturer for more information.

CONTROLLING OTHER INLINE FANS
The VIVOSUN E42/E42A SGS GrowHub controller can control inline duct fans from other brands. Certain models may need an adapter included with the controller*. Once connected to the GrowHub E42/E42A, your fans can be controlled and automated in the following ways: speed control, running cycles, auto trigger, etc.
Once your fan is connected to the GrowHub, it will join the VIVOSUN SGS family with Wi-Fi control ability. You can use the VIVOSUN app to control, visit data log of environmental conditions, use grow recipes, receive alerts, etc. As a member of the VIVOSUN SGS, your fan will work with other connected devices like grow lights, circulation fans, humidifiers to create a suitable environment for growing your plants.
Fan Connection
Check your fan's output connection first. If it is a Type C connector, plug the male connector into the Type C port (A or B) on the GrowHub E42/E42A. If it is an AUX or MOLEX connector, plug into the respective port on the VIVOSUN SGS Fan Adapter (Type-C to MOLEX&AUX). Next, plug the fan adapter into the Type-C port (A or B). Connect the included 12V power adapter to the other Type-C port (A or B) on the controller and an AC outlet to get power for the controller. If you have other VIVOSUN SGS devices connected on the same controller, the 12V power adapter is not needed.
For more information, please read the GrowHub E42/E42A manual.
