To monitor Soil WC, EC, and TEMP, a 3-in-1 Soil Sensor is required, while CO2 and PPFD need separate sensors. The temperature and humidity light sensor included in the kit only measures temp, humidity, and day/night cycles, and does not support PPFD detection. CO2 and PPFD sensors are not included in this kit and will be sold separately (stay tuned).
Controller Functions and Settings
1. Main Interface Overview
1.1 Main Display
- Time Display: Shows the current date and time.
- Temperature and Humidity Display: Displays the ambient air temperature, relative humidity, and Vapor Pressure Deficit (VPD) data, which relies on an external temperature and humidity sensor connected to the controller.
(Sensor Placement Recommendations)
- CO2 Display: Indicates the concentration of CO2 in the environment, which relies on an external CO2 sensor.
- Soil Data Display: Provides real-time soil temperature, humidity, and Electrical Conductivity (EC) readings when the soil sensor is connected, which relies on an external soil sensor.
1.2 Peripheral Interface
- Displays the connection status of up to five external devices. If a device is not connected to the controller, its status will be indicated as “offline.”
2. How to Control Led Grow Light （G Series/ SE Series/ SF Series）
(Note: GGS 2-in-1 Adapter is required if the LED grow light needs to be controlled by the GGS Controller.）
2.1 Manual Mode
- Brightness can be manually adjusted from 0% (off) to 100% (full brightness).
2.2 Time Period Mode
- Start Time: Sets the time for the lights to turn on.
- End Time: Sets the time for the lights to turn off.
- Brightness: Allows adjustment of the brightness level when the lights are on.
- Go Dark: Configures a temperature threshold for dimming, where the lights will automatically reduce brightness when the ambient temperature reaches the set high-temperature threshold.
- Turn Off: Defines a temperature threshold for automatic shutdown, where the lights will turn off once the high-temperature protection threshold is reached.
- Sunrise/Sunset: Enables a sunrise/sunset simulation by gradually adjusting the brightness from dim to bright during sunrise and from bright to dim during sunset.
3. How to Control Clip Fan, Inline Fan, and Other Devices
- How to control Clip Fan & Inline Fan
In the controller interface, the Fan (Clip Fan) and Blower (Inline Fan) sections are not yet available and will only support the next-generation Clip Fan and Inline Fan. - If you already own or are considering purchasing our Clip Fan or Inline Fan, you may consider the GGS AC5 Power Strip（Coming soon, stay tuned!） as a solution. By plugging your devices into the GGS AC5 Power Strip（Coming soon, stay tuned!）and integrating the sensors installed on the Power Strip, you can still automate the operation of your equipment. （In this solution, the Clip Fan does not need to be connected to the "Fan" port on the GGS 2-in-1 adapter.）The Power Strip also supports connecting supplemental devices such as light bars, humidifiers, and more.
4. How to Control GGS Power Strip（Coming soon, stay tuned!）
- If you have both the GGS Controller Kits and the GGS AC5 Power Strip Kits, you can control the GGS AC5 Power Strip through the controller.
4.1 Manual Mode
- Controls the On/Off status of each outlet on the power strip. The 5-outlet model has 5 outlets, and the 10-outlet model has 10 outlets.
4.2 Time Period Mode
- Start Time: Set the time for the outlet to turn on.
- End Time: Set the time for the outlet to turn off.
4.3 Time Cycle Mode
- Start time: Sets the time when the power strip starts the cycle.
- Run duration: Can be set between 00:00 and 23:59.
- Off duration: Can be set between 00:00 and 23:59.
4.4 Temperature Mode
If you set an outlet to Temp Mode, you’ll need to specify whether the device plugged into that outlet is for heating or cooling. For example, if it's a cooling device, the outlet will power on when the temperature exceeds your target.
- Heating equipment: The outlet provides power when the temperature is below the set range.
- Cooling equipment: The outlet provides power when the temperature is above the set range.
4.5 Humidity Mode
If you set an outlet to Humi Mode, you’ll need to specify whether the device is for humidifying or dehumidifying. For example, if it's a humidifier and the humidity is too low, the outlet will power on to increase the humidity.
- Humidification: The outlet provides power when the humidity is below the set range.
- Dehumidification: The outlet provides power when the humidity is above the set range.
4.6 CO2 Mode
If you set an outlet to CO2 Mode, you'll need to define whether the device is for adding CO2 or venting it out. The outlet will activate based on your CO2 target settings.
- Gas filling equipment: The outlet provides power when the CO2 concentration is below the set range.
- Air release equipment: The outlet provides power when the CO2 concentration is above the set range.
5. Settings Interface
5.1 Temperature Unit
Switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit.
- 5.2 Environmental Set
Day/Night Time Settings: Set the time range for day and night periods. The start time defines when day begins, and the start of night defines when night begins. If both day and night start times are set to the same value, the system defaults to 24 hours of day.
Temp Humi CO₂Settings: Set the target temperature, humidity, and CO2 levels for both day and night, as well as the deadband range.
Deadband: For example, if the daytime temperature is set to 70°F and the deadband is set to 3°F, cooling activates when the temperature reaches 73°F and stops once it drops back to 70°F. Heating activates when the temperature drops to 67°F and stops when it reaches 70°F.)
5.3 Time Set
Set your local time on the controller. If the controller is linked to the Spider Farmer App, the time will sync with the device running the app.
5.4 Language
- Choose from multiple languages including English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, and Chinese.
5.5 Sensor Calibration
- Temperature Calibration: Adjust the temperature offset between -10°C and +10°C, with a precision of 0.1°C per step.
- Humidity Calibration: Adjust the humidity offset between -20% and +20%, with a precision of 0.1% per step.
- CO2 Calibration: Adjust the CO2 concentration offset between -200 ppm and +200 ppm, with a precision of 10 ppm per step.
5.6 Screen timeout

Great! Took awhile to receive it.. seems this product is always sold out!! Awesome little controller tho!! About to order another one!
love my light controller and my2 se730
Well you have more in stock I really want one
When will this be available again?
Hi Friend,
This product is currently out of stock, and we don’t know when it will arrive, but we will let you know by email once it is in stock
Thank you for visiting the spider farmer online store
Love Spider Farmer products. Confirmed purchaser of x2 units. Purchased from this website on March 05 on back order with the “ships from china in 7-10 business days” designation.
It arrived at USA address April 29 without notice in a ‘SAMSUNG LED’ branded box, fedex straight from China factory indeed. The units were well packaged, undamaged and look like the pictures online.
The light controller works well for my purpose, which is replacing cheap, power interruption light timers with something a little more high tech and reliable. I like plugging my high amp drawing expensive light fixtures directly into a heavy duty surge protector, not into a cheap Christmas tree timer first. There are 8 “Timing” options which allow for start time, end time as well as starting brightness level to finish brightness level. For example I use the last timing option to finish the final hour of my light cycle. “Time 21:00-22:00 / brightness 100% – 0%” and the light will be gradually dimmed to off the final hour of your cycle to simulate dusk to night. I’ve done the same for night to dawn, just in reverse. I’d imagine allowing your drivers to warm up and cool down before and after 100% brightness runs will only increase their life.
The controller keeps time well, and it must have internal memory as it will remember the time and settings with short power interruptions. It is exactly as pictured on the website, the case is made of metal, and the entire device is a good, heavy weight.
The screen is a touch screen so it can not be covered with tape to prevent light leaks. It has a bright blue led display with no option to dim or turn off the backlight. It would not serve well inside a grow area. Mine is mounted outside the grow area so it does not pose a problem with my set up.
I have it connected to port #1 of a spider farmer SF-2000 linked from port #2 to port #1 of a SF-4000. This controls them simultaneously well. The other is attached to a single SF-2000 without issue.
I would recommend this product, it was worth the wait on backorder.
I’d love to try it on a SE-7000 and review it, hint hint spider farmer, email me!
