I have 2 Viparspectra 165w lights and did a little trick to turn them into lights that ramp up in the morning and down in the evening: with a Broadlink RM4 smart remote
The RM4 can learn the Viparspectra remote's codes and then runs a schedule every 2 minutes in the morning that 'presses' menu-up-up and then the opposite in the evening bringing the blue channel smoothly up from 1% to 80% and back. (And the same for the white channel that comes on a little later, and only ramps from 1 to 8 and back down.)
For $25, it gives these black box lights (or any other brand that includes a remote) functionality usually found only on much more expensive units, and controls other stuff in the room like stereo and TV to boot.
