When you select a mushroom species and the control mode is SMART, the system follows that profile automatically. If the chosen species does not require light, the lights will not turn on.
Lighting — Purpose & App Modes
Why light matters
Light is required for mushroom development cues (pinning, orientation). It's not for photosynthesis, but for consistent, even growth.
App Control Modes
Emotional
Adaptive visuals that reflect the system's status and the selected species' health indicators—at-a-glance feedback while your grow runs.
Animation
A gallery of 30+ light animations for ambient, dynamic effects without disrupting growth cues.
Manual
Set a fixed color and brightness to your preference for steady, uniform illumination.
SMART Behavior (Species-Aware)
Tip:
For the most even results, keep lighting uniform across the canopy and avoid harsh, single-direction glare.
