Yeah, I don't have a controller at the moment, not sure I want one either. Current lighting is on digital timers & I was thinking the same with the LEDs. This is one reason (aside from the wattage requirements) I need more power supplies, so I can run each colour with it's own power supply on separate timers. But now that I've started toying with the dimmers, a more sophisticated/automated method of controlling & dimming the LEDs is certainly tempting. On/Off with just a timer might not cut it anymore! Not that the livestock will care, since it's all been doing fine without sophisticated controlling.... more for the hobbyist I guess! I simply can't get that excited over fixtures that offer overkill features like cloud effect & lightning etc. I love my EcoTech VorTech pumps, but could care less that the Radion lights can communicate with them. What the hell for? Dawn/dusk dimming would make me a happy camper, don't need any more than that. 'Want' & 'Need' are different animals, often associated with large variations in $$$$$.
