Grow Room Q for the environment guru's...

[Chronic_passion]

So I just bought a Pulse One monitor and read a review of the INKBIRD IHC-200 by @Damien50 and it's spurred some questions regarding my setup.
Currently I have:
1x INKBIRD IHC-200 regulating an HR-15 humidifier
1x INKBIRD ITC-306T regulating 2x 180W oil filled tube rads
1x SMSCOM 6.5A fan controller regulating an RVK 125E2 extractor fan.

Now my question is.....
Do I have the system optimised correctly?

I.e.
Should I do as Damien does and have my extractor fan plugged into my IHC-200.
Should I plug the SMSCOM into the IHC-200 to regulate extraction for humidity and heat (if that'll work).
Considering my kit, what would you do with it?
Or would you leave it as it is?
Let's add some peeps to discuss...

As always, I appreciate the assistance

Hey Chronic! I’m no expert by any means — I’ll tell you what I do with my AC Infinity T8.

The T8 can be on all the time, when temps are out of a certain range, OR when humidity is out of a certain range. I do want some air movement though — I don’t want it to never come on. So I rig it to come on when the humidity > 70 and then I set my humidifier to keep things at 68. Between the 2, plenty of good air flow and it runs frequently enough for me.

This probably doesn’t help but that’s how I use it. In the future I’d love to have a wireless thingy that texts me or emails me when different conditions are out of parameters, but that’s my dream future cause I’d like pH too. I know it’s out there now, I’d just like the technology and cost to improve a bit first.

You don't have to do as I do. Ideally I would have a separate humidifier and dehumidifier plugged into my humidity controller. Otherwise my temp controller runs a heater and a secondary extraction can from outside that brings in cool air when my temps reach over 86f

Right now I have a 400 cfm fan running 24/7 with a humidifier on the controller maintaining 86/72f and 56/50% RH day and night respectively. Then I have two intake lines running to a window where the 400cfm causes enough negative pressure to passively pull from outside on one line and the second only brings in air when temps get too high
