Default Dimmable Ballast Q

I'm redoing my DIY LED's Mix of Multichip and 3w. Will be getting a Apex soon too. I want sunrise/sunset and the changing light times withthe season etc BUT, a Q on powering the Meanwell drivers. The Dimming will effectively turn them off, right? Do I still need them to be powered on a switched outled form the Apex? IE, Apex power outlet, then ramp up light's, then ramp down for sunset, once at 0%, shut off outlet? Or can I leave the drivers pluged into 110 and just off/dim/on with the 0-10v control? Would be much easier if I could leave them pluged in as I am planning 9 independant driver controls, as well as a LSM. Not only sunrise, but Rise at one end of tank, set at other.
