I would like to be able to control the dimming of my led's with my smart phone app. Is this possible?

Yes it is. You can use either the android app or the universal app.

Do I have to use the Portal or can I just use the App? Is there a tutorial on how to do it.

Depends which app. In the universal app you go in the dimming tab and you can adjust the sliders. If you want to change the program and are using internal memory you can go into settings -> internal memory and adjust all the values just like on the portal

the android app, you can just long press on the dimming percentage and it pops up a window for you to adjust the dimming values with a slider and then set/save the values and it updates the controller.

Do I need portal to be able to use the dimming in the app? Or do I need the dimming expansion? The app let me adjust the output but it didn't take the charge.

no. you do not need the portal to use dimming. the ap and dp dimming ports on the controller are different than the expansion.
if the settings didn't take, then you could have something in your controller code that is overriding the settings or your controller may not accept the override commands that get sent.

I had an extra space in my ip address now it works. I don't see a feeding button?

Upper left corner.

Sorry I meant the universal app

Ah.

Arrow on upper left of screen, then touch modes, and feeding.
