I've just received my P2 Terra this week and it's been a rollercoaster ride to get it up and running the way I wanted it. Had a bunch of trouble with the lights, turns out the EVG-AP-2F had a bad soldering point. The "ballast1 voltage regulator" or "brown wire" was soldered to the black wire, the +. So it was alwasy on 100%.
With that fixed I've turned my attention to the Humidity, it's fine right now cause I'm only starting up the tank with plants and moss. When to high the Propellor Controller speeds up my fans to lower the humidity, and that work just fine. The problem however is that I cannot setup the Nocturnal Change variation the way I want.
At first it would not even save and be turned off automatically, but I figured the variation + hysterisis would be over 100%, so invalid. I set it to 99% total and that worked, but it reset the time again. It appears I cannot change the time to be different then 19:00 ON and 5:00 OFF.
I would really like to set the OFF timer later to get a "damp morning"
This might be related to the illumination settings, but I am unsure how.
Can these times be bypassed somehow ?
Another small problem seems to be the Thunderstorms ... how do I disable them permanently ? This morning at 4 Am I jumped up out of bed cause the sprayers went of, but all days under the thunderstorm settings are turned off. I have now removed it from socket controll, but I'm not sure if it will still randomly go off ?
(minor note I am running Firmware 5.03 is it advisable to upgrade for the P2 Terra ? )
