Lighting Schedule Duration Profilux Plus III

[chippypah]

Im confused.

What I want is the following:

1 - 10:00am 0%
2 - 12:00pm 100%
3 - 12:00pm 0%
4 - 6:50pm 0%
5 - 6:50pm 100%
6 - 10:00pm 0%

Lights on at 10:00am gradually get to 100% by 12pm (Lunchtime) then Turn Off.
At 6:50pm I want the lights to turn On at 100% and Reduce Brightness to 0% by 10:00pm then turn Off.

For the other lights I want the following:

1 - 4:30am 0%
2 - 10:00pm 0%
3 - 10:00pm 5%

Lights Turn On at 10:00pm at 5% and gradually get darker till 0% at 4:30am and then to Turn Off at 4:30am.

1 - 10.00AM 0%
2 - 11.59AM 100%
3 - 12.00AM 0%
4 - 6.50PM 100%
5 -10.00 PM 0%

1 - 10.00PM 5 %
2 - 4.30 AM 0%

Do not think you will get 5% light try putting to 10%
Hope this is ok.
Cheers

Didn't make a difference. Can anyone from Profilux / GHL assist Please? Have I done something wrong? I need to get this working ASAP.

I guess you don't have the matching manual
the settings for illumination had been changed in P3 compared to PII firmware 4.08
here is the correct manual, there is an example:

I did read the manual, and also based on Frank's advice above set it as per my settings above. But it is still not working. Can you please point me in the right direction.

The dimming points are a lot nicer than the old ones. From what the PIII manual says, dimming of the lights, up or down, will occur gradually over the course of the points you have established? So, if I want my LED's to ramp up in the morning over the course of an hour, all I have to do is set my dimming points for time/duration and percentage and the lights will ramp up to say 100% over the course of that hour.

One more thing. If I want to use this same LED light for my moonlighting, is all I have to do is select moonlight under its illumination channel and then set its start and end time?

I just recreated the first light scenario and tested it. Everything worked accordingly.

What is the problem? Did you assigned the light preset to the proper L port?

[freemchr]

This worked perfectly?

1 - 10:00am 0%
2 - 12:00pm 100%
3 - 12:00pm 0%
4 - 6:50pm 0%
5 - 6:50pm 100%
6 - 10:00pm 0%

For me it would not turn on at 6:50pm at all. However worked with the 10am - 12pm schedule.

Yes the L Ports are configured correctly as it works with the first bit of the schedule.

You should try:

1 - 10:00am 0%
2 - 12:00pm 100%
3 - 12:01pm 0%
4 - 6:49pm 0%
5 - 6:50pm 100%
6 - 10:00pm 0%

note: 2 points must not have the same time - there must be a difference of 1 minute at least

Was able to get mine working last night. Was pretty easy compared to early versions.

I am not sure I have the moon lights set-up correctly though. I checked the same LED's that I use for sunrise and sunset as the ones I want for moon lighting and set the time, but did not see that they came on. Any suggestions?
