Dimming ADA Aquasky

[Danny]

Hi guys,

Is it possible to somehow add a controller on to the ADA Aquasky?

I'm thinking for the ability to have the gradual increase and then decrease before lights out....

Hi Danny, I recommend this:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Tc421-cont...?ie=UTF8&qid=1515944054&sr=8-1&keywords=tc420

I use it with the Chihiros AquaSky and it is great.

I am sure it will also work with the ADA fine. The TC420 and TC421 (421 is the same but you can adjust the program over wifi as well as usb), can control multiple channels. Without modding, the max output from each channel is 4 amps. Check the back of the ADA adapter to find out what amps it gives out.

Update. Just thought I would do a quick fact check. It seems that the ADA aquasky does not work with the TC420. Here is some more info:

Sorry, should have checked before original post.
