I have 2 humidifiers Aerostream H05 & H09. I have the H09 in my main tent, but the H05 with my clones. I have an active recipe for my H09 & main grow. I want the H05 to be separate from the recipe, but I want to track it and make changes on the Vivosun App.

The problem is when I have them both added to the app, they both automatically fall under the recipe. I’m at a 1.4 VPD for my main tent, I can’t have that for my clone tent. Also I don’t think theirs a way to distinguish them under the recipe. Maybe there is, I don’t know. Need help. Thanks.

I’m a very SERIOUS GROWER, I’m 30 and have been growing for 17 years.

Recently got back into growing and purchased a bunch of Vivosun Equipment. Man have I been disappointed and aggravated.

1. You guys advertised the 4 in 1 sensor probe that tracks CO2. I upgraded my Growhub device to the latest 42A+ and purchased the Vivosun CO2 auto solenoid. YOU CANT USE CO2 LEVEL THE APP DISPLAYS AS A TRIGGER TO TURN ON AND OFF MY CO2 VALVE. I called and they told me it literally just displays the level. This can literally be changed with an app update. Wasted an xtra $300. Strike1.

2. The $400 AeroLush C08 AC 4 in 1. On the app you can remotely change it from Cooling to Dry mode. If my temp reaches a certain temperature you can trigger the AC to turn on. If the humidity reaches a certain level, the device can trigger to turn on also BUT IF CAN ONLY TRACK ONE THING AT A TIME. IF ITS ON AC MODE AND THE HUMIDITY GOES HIGH, YOU HAVE TO MANUALLY ENTER THE APP TO SWITCH IT AND SET THE SETTINGS TO DRY MODE. This is amateur hour, why isn’t there an app update to fix this?

The AC device has 2 fan modes. Quiet and standard, I have a 4x4 grow tent and it always overshoots. The humidity dumps like crazy also. HOW COME THERE ARENT LOWER FAN SETTINGS? Because of the overly strong air circulation while it’s on, my environment is out of wack, the vigorous air movement is spilling my CO2 through the small holes in my fabric tent and zipper. Lastly because of this my AC cycles on for 1 minutes and off for 5. The constant quick cycle will destroy the equipment.

3. PTSD From Temp Probes. I get why each device should have a standalone temp/humidity probe, but not if I have 5 Vivosun smart devices. My Humidifier, AC unit, Vivosun smart outlet and Growhub E42A all have the exact same probe. So even though all of these devices interface with the Vivosun App, how come we don’t have an option to set our parameters from just 1 probe? These probes always have a discrepancy amongst them no matter how many times I calibrate or put them in the same exact location. It’s such a stressful annoying pain. Really guys?

4. MORE APP PROBLEMS. I have so many more things but I’m just getting pissed typing this. When you try to set your recipe or an operation time or setting for a particular device, literally 60 percent of the time when you make the change and press save it would revert back to its old settings. I would restart the app multiple times, my phone, maybe wait. I had plants in flower and went on vacation, I almost got burned on this. I just had a gut feeling to double check because this gear is not reliable at all.

5. My VIVOSUN Circulator fan. The Oscillating option on the app is completely fried. It allows me to change speeds, but the fan doesn’t respond to the oscillator option on the app anymore, I’ve had it for a week. When I press the physical oscillation button on the device it works perfectly fine. Wtf?

Just putting it out there guys, I truly thought Vivosun really took care or looked out for us growers. It’s been straight false advertising, deception with a subpar product. The dang $400 AC I purchased from them, the plastic clip ons feel like cheap, light weight plastic. These are pieces you expect to durable for years. It won’t last.

I know I’m not the only serious grower I’m here. I spent so much money on these things thinking it would be kind of professional grade for a home grown, it’s not. It’s just been stress, anger and regret. I’m a grown man and it’s been a while, but I’m literally tearing in frustration. If they can’t even update or fix simple things like that on their app, why should us growers continue supporting them? Cheap materials, subpar app functions and lack of Technical support?

I’m over it, someone please recommend me a company that’s takes there products seriously.
