Automate Your Grow with Home Assistant #7: Dimming & Scheduling Your Grow Light

- How to dim your Mean Well B-type driver from Home Assistant using an optocoupler. This method should work for other drivers that have a dedicated dimming circuit that accepts a PWM signal and can source its own current on this circuit (tested and working on Inventronics EUD-600SxxxDT series drivers).

-You Can probably find the PC817s and resistors far cheaper elsewhere like digikey if you can combine them with a bigger order to make the shipping worth it.
