The following presets come pre-installed on all WiFi-enabled Kind leds. Please note that these presets are general in nature and may not suit every grower’s needs. Most of these preset, except for the Full Power Vegetative and Full Power Flower, have a built-in sunrise and sunset feature to gently wake your plants up in the morning, as well as gently put them to bed, just as Mother Nature would. If none of these presets your needs, please refer to the section on creating your own preset that better suits your

situation. Once saved, your custom preset will appear in the same list as the below presets. Seedling- This preset is ideal for freshly germinated seedlings and/or unrooted clones.

You will now see that the selected preset is populated in the Current preset window. We can now review the timing and spectra of this preset. Please note: The presets have a species start and end time based on common practices. If the preset times do not meet your specific needs, you can create a custom preset.

To activate this preset, click set preset.
Your preset will now be active and your preset will populate the preset phase chart window.

Changing your preset:
Before you select a new preset. You must cancel the current preset. Click cancel preset. This will remove it from the Preset
Phase Chart. You may now select a new preset and load it into your preset phase chart.

1. Creating Custom Preset

Click the Create tab on the left-hand side of the KIND COMMAND CENTER.
A preset is made up of up to 8 phases.
Each phase is made up of a spectrum of intensity, start time, and duration.
You can begin by setting the Red, Micro, and Blue channels to the desired intensity.
Next, set the time of day that you wish that intensity to begin.
You can use the drop-down menu to select times on the hour or enter in a custom time manually into the window. Please make sure to specify AM or PM.
Next, we will set the duration of the intensity (how long you would like this intensity to run).
Click add phase, this will populate the build custom prole window with your first phase and we can move on to set our next phase. Please note: It is not necessary to use all 8 phases for your custom preset. For example, if you plan to run a simple 18-hour vegetative cycle at one desired intensity… You may set a phrase, to run at a specified intensity, starting at a specific time, with a duration of 18 hours.

Setting Additional Presets

Set the desired intensity for your next phase.

Set the start time of this intensity. Please note: The previous phase duration will dictate when you should set the start time for the following phase. For example: If the previous phase is set to start at 4 pm, and run for 1 hour, you must set the following phase to begin at 5 pm. Any gaps in phases will result in the light fixture going dark between phases.

Once all your desired phases are set, you can name the custom prole in the build custom prole window. Click update prole.

You, custom prole, will populate in the edit/delete custom prole window. If it does not appear, refresh the page. You can edit your custom preset at any time from this window.

You can now return to the Dashboard, and nd your custom preset in the Current Preset window by clicking “select preset” “refresh list” then selecting your custom preset from the “select preset” drop-down menu.

Once selected click “set preset” your custom prole will now populate the preset phase chart window.
