Grow link should sell an adapter for you to use to connect to the gavita light. I know trolmaster does
Growlink which if you have the 1700e that runs a rj45 has a controller adapter. Wire accordingly to your diagram to ensure all you flow of current is the same other wise you’ll have an arc/pop and breakers/ junctions on the fritz of electrical failure and fires.
Only 10$ and I’m sure you’d need maybe 3-4 just to have backups if one so happens to fail. Use the adapter to connect to your controller and run the stock rj45 cable your light should have came with and daisy chain within spec.
Or if the issue is needing to jump from rj45-rj12 you’ll just need to grab a lma14 or two and bite the bullet.
so the device I have is this https://shop.growlink.com/products/light-link-4-channel-0-10v?srsltid=AfmBOorDLsIcbEuqQadxLJIUHsfIUcjreVxvvacz4RdjfMc0IAYlBFfe
and ive used a multimeter and im getting a solid 10.1v. But yes you just run bare wires into the controller. I am just trying to figure out how to daisychain the gavitas to my other lights, I am running 45 lights however most of them have daisychain capabilities
ROW 1 3Gavita 1700e’s then 4 lux lights 645w then 8 flexstar 645w 15 total lights in row 1
ROW 2 9 Flexstar 1000W lights
ROW 3 9 Flexstar 1000W lights
ROW 4 12 Gavita 1700e lights
I saw this but I don’t know how it wires too the gavita I have taken apart the gavita light and tried going into the purple wago block and the grey wago block but it didn’t work so I guess my question is can I order these and hook them up into the wago blocks and then daisychain them together and then what about when it goes from the gavitas to one of my other lights which uses rj 11 cables 
I believe you should have a controller connection on the same side your power plug hooks up on the light itself same as how the luxx 645 is I know they do for fact. You use your same controller wire to back feed into a multi junction splitter adapter which then sizes up into your rj45 adapter and line that you wire directly to the controller itself.
The rj11 lights might need a whole separate adapter chain setup and a secondary lma to adjust both channels for the same times etc if my thoughts are correct
The LMA-14 isn’t compatible off the shelf unless you buy growlinks integration hub ($399). This would be pointless considering he already has a 0-10v controller. RJ11’s will need to be swapped for RJ12’s to communicate with the trolmaster adapter as well.
The LMA-14 would also have to be used in conjunction with the LMA-G group controller to operate separate groups of lights in this scenario.
No advice on daisy chaining unfortunately.
You have a 4 channel controller, and 4 different fixtures, so I’d simply keep each series of lights on their own channel and program them independently. Could probably keep it to 2 channels if you wanted and daisy chain all the same RJ connectors.

Last grow I was at was strictly tm so I did check to see if gl has the connection hub before suggesting it. Will say I didn’t read back far enough to check if poster was using tm or not but had assumed so since it’s more common id say.
Yeah I don’t mind doing two different channels but my first and foremost problem is I can’t even get one Growlink to work on its own channel. Cause like you said I’ll put each brand on its own channel if I have too but I can’t even get the starting steps to work to be able to get to that option. I just don’t know on the gavita what needs to be wired where.
Do you have an RJ45 to RJ9 interconnect cable?
Gavita will provide a pin out diagram for 3rd party controllers if you contact them
I did contact them and no I dont I was just going to hardwire. I have rj45 cable though. I did find this for them but that’s using there adapter thingy and I am trying to bypass all that and just hardwire direct
The 1700e would need an RJ45 to RJ9 interconnect cable for emdub’s solution to work
If you contacted them, they should respond with a pin out diagram
Otherwise I would contact growlink to confirm if they’re compatible with their adapters
So Growlink said as long as the light can send a 10v signal it’ll work with there controller and that people have used 1700e’s with their controllers. Gavita is taking forever to respond you can only get ahold of them via email these days
EDIT called the other number and was able to leave a voicemail
Via their dimming adapter?
Is this the pin diagram you’re looking for?
I don’t think so because I opened up the middle of the gavita light and it doesn’t look like that
They wrote me back and said this
Good morning,
If you are trying to connect your 1700e to your Growlink, you will need to run the e series adapters to daisy chain the units together with 0-10v. To connect from the first unit to the grow link, you will connect pins 3&6 to Positive, and 4&5 to Ground.
Let us know if you have any other questions.
May be more helpful to see while working it.
that looks like the wiring to the growlink controller which is how I have it setup
I also see it says this so I did purple and grey but it didn’t work
OK, so I finally figured it out. I don’t know what the problem was before. I don’t know if it’s because it was too far away, but I went to a closer David light and I just went into the empty block on the purple side with the red and the empty side on the gray side with the white and I plugged it into my light link and now it’s successfully dimming the light I can hear it turning on and watching it dim and everything but now my new problem is if I hit off, it doesn’t turn the light off. It only goes very low but it’s still enough light. I’ll attach a picture to be a problem so now I’m trying to figure out how can I make it cut the light off completely I don’t know if it’s because my lights are hardwired in, and then that shoots over to the breaker do I need to add like a switch in between that connection? I don’t know what to do next now, but I’m just so thankful that it’s at least dimming one of the lights next I’ll have to start connecting them and daisychaining and see what I can do to do more than one.
Is your light schedule set to be on, or is there something conflicting in the app itself?
