Telos Growcast — Bluetooth Lighting Control
Control almost any grow light with your smartphone using a Telos Growcast. If your grow light is equipped with a controller port, then it's almost guaranteed to be compatible. With three different connector types (RJ11 Type 1, Type 2 and M-12 3-Pin), the Growcast will work perfectly all of the top lighting brands, including Maxibright, Lumatek, Dimlux and Gavita.

How do I Set Up the Growcast?
All you need to do is plug in the Growcast module and download the Telos Mesh smartphone app from the Apple or Android store. Tap 'add' in the Telos Mesh app to create a network and you're up and running. Using a Bluetooth connection, you can then program day and night cycles and take advantage of sunlight / sunset mode, which gradually increases and decreases lighting. Precise PPF mode allows you to manually adjust lighting intensity rates according to the exact PPF output and wattage, giving you a much greater insight.
Is it Secure?
Absolutely! Once you've set your network up, the Growcast is undetectable by other Bluetooth capable devices, keeping your set-up away from prying eyes.
Do I Need to Buy Multiple Growcast Units?
One Growcast unit can cover up to 50 grow lights, making the system highly cost-effective. In fact, it's around half the price of the competition, which is hard to believe, considering that it incorporates so much leading edge technology. Rather than buying a Telos Mesh unit for each grow light, purchase a single unit and use daisy-chaining to connect up the following lights in the set-up.
