Need advice for some good grow room controllers!

Hi,
I need some advice which growroom controllers to choose. I don't want to spend my money on crappy stuff.

I will have:
- Ebb and Flow method with three 4x4 tables with 100 Gallon reservoir. So I guess I need a PH and EC device. I guess something you can put in the reservoir constantly would be nice.

- Propane heater for CO2 generation. So I will need some CO2 controller. Maybe also a CO detector?

- I will probably run a big Systemair EC fan, which needs to be electronically controlled. GAS is selling a controller but I want to know with which other controllers I can run that fans, because I might opt for a all in one solution...

- Yeah, temperature und humidty need also to be controlled, as it is here in winter very cold and I will run a sealed room with dehumidifer.

If there is a good all in one solution, that would be perfect!!!!

I had a look around a bit. I did find the Iponic 624. http://www.link4corp.com/product-selector/hydroponic-products/iponic-624/

But I am not sure if I can run the EC fan with it and if that controller is a good device. Also I am not sure if that device will be good for my country.

Please give me some advice if you have knowledge about good controlling devices! No need to waste money!!!

Oh, yeah.... Using software on a computer or smartphone like with the Iponic looks really really interesting. Do you know of other stuff out there which lets me control the grow room with computer software??? I guess the more freedom I got the better :-D

50 amps, are you sure? The cap units I can find have only 10 or 15 amps.

any ph or ec device you can recommend?

Hey guys. Look at the “growlink” has the best camera (extra) but she’s wireless and runs via smart phone. Controls everything and I mean everything as many plugs as you can get!!!! 1000% recommend it. Last controller you will ever need!!! It controls fans, co2,coolers, u name it!! Both 220 and 120 plugs and you said your doing eb does all your pumps and has a nutrient mixer and dispenser (extra) have it. And won’t ever go back. Was using cap, grow zone. (Inferior) full digital heads up display and you can control it from any where and it tells you when something isn’t right. Lol water on floor it’s the real deal!!!!

Ps... no other controller lets you put your ppm out of I believe 5000. Can’t kill mites at 5000 but you sure can pump it up to 140000 and kill em all and never ever spray again!!!!!!!!!! And let the controller put the fans on and off to make it safe again to go in. Yup you can visually see the room and digitally know when it’s safe again :). Cheers.

Yes and two ec-6 new but larger commercial ( overkill) but fucking love it hahah but the ec-1 will be amazing for you you really don’t have to over kill it at all. There supper supportive in call backs set up. Any questions. It’s worth giving them a call. I’m in Canada, but I know there made in Colorado. And they ship fast!!!!!!!!

Whats the difference of Ec-3 and EC-6? It is just the number of sockets for electrical appliances?

Guess I need to watch a video, to understand what is that link cable stuff and how you connect the devices...
