Introduction

In this article, we will learn how to download and use the AI Prime's app for controlling AI Prime LED lights for aquariums. The app allows users to customize lighting schedules, explore features like the lunar effect and weather simulation, and optimize the light settings for coral acclimation. We will provide step-by-step instructions on downloading the app, connecting to the AI Prime's Wi-Fi, setting up custom schedules, and adjusting color spectrums. We will also discuss the pros and cons of using the app and highlight some important features to look out for.

Downloading the AI Prime's app

To begin, You need to download the AI Prime's app from the Play Store. Simply search for "AI Prime" in the Play Store and look for the app with a little cloud icon. Click on the install button to download the app to your device. Once the app is installed, you can proceed with the setup process.

Connecting to the AI Prime's Wi-Fi

After installing the app, you need to connect your device to the AI Prime's Wi-Fi network. The AI Prime LED lights emit their own Wi-Fi signal, which allows your phone to communicate with them. To connect to the Wi-Fi, go to your device's Wi-Fi settings and select the AI Prime's network. The network name will typically be something like "Prime HD" followed by a unique number. Once connected, you can exit the Wi-Fi settings and open the AI Prime's app.

Setting up custom schedules

Within the AI Prime's app, you have the option to Create custom lighting schedules for your aquarium. These schedules allow you to control when the lights are on, how intense they are, and which color spectrums are being used. To create a custom schedule, navigate to the schedule tab within the app. Here, you can set up different time periods for ramping up or ramping down the lights. You can also specify the color spectrums for each period. Experiment with different schedules to find the optimal lighting conditions for your aquarium.

Using the lunar effect

The AI Prime's app also includes a lunar effect feature, which simulates moonlight for your aquarium. This effect can be activated to provide a more natural lighting environment for your corals. The lunar effect reduces the intensity of the lights to about 5% throughout the night, mimicking the moon shining down on the corals. While there are claims that the lunar effect can induce coral spawning, further research is needed to validate these claims. Nevertheless, this feature can add visual appeal to your aquarium.

Exploring the weather feature

Another interesting feature offered by the AI Prime's app is the weather simulation. This feature creates lightning flashes within the aquarium, mimicking a stormy weather effect. However, it is important to note that the weather simulation does not produce any sound effects. The lightning flashes may appear as flickering lights, similar to a light bulb in a hospital setting. While the weather feature can add ambiance to your aquarium, some users find that it lacks realism.

Acclimating corals to LED lights

LED lights have the potential to overpower corals if not used properly. To prevent this, the AI Prime's app offers an acclimation feature that helps corals adjust to the light settings. It is important to do thorough research before adjusting your light settings or using the acclimation feature. It is recommended to start with conservative settings and gradually increase the intensity over time. Pay close Attention to the behavior and health of your corals during the acclimation process.

Understanding the dashboard

The dashboard tab in the AI Prime's app serves as the main screen where you can view the status of your lights and make adjustments. It provides an overview of the Current light scheme, including the intensity and color spectrums. Take some time to familiarize yourself with the dashboard and its various features. From the dashboard, you can access different tabs for controlling the lights, adjusting settings, and exploring additional features.

Controlling the lights

The controls tab in the AI Prime's app allows you to directly control your LED lights. You can adjust the intensity and color spectrums of the lights to create the desired lighting effects. Within this tab, you can also create ramp schedules for gradually adjusting the lights throughout the day. Experiment with different settings to find the perfect balance for your aquarium. It is important to note that the AI Prime's app allows you to divert power between color spectrums, enabling you to prioritize certain colors over others.

Adjusting color spectrums

The AI Prime's app offers the option to adjust the individual color spectrums of the LED lights. You can fine-tune the UV, violet, royal Blue, blue, green, deep red, and cool white spectrums to achieve your desired lighting effects. It is recommended to carefully balance the color spectrums to avoid overpowering certain colors and creating a disco ball effect. Some users find that adding diffusers to the LED lights can help create a smoother and more natural lighting appearance.
