On Demand Thunder Storm for Radions
Has anyone created a program for on-demand thunder storms? My wife really likes them, and we would like the option to be able to start them when wanted. Thanks in advance!
Very easy :Originally Posted by Braunberger
1) set a profile control type > weather and to your liking , name it " Stormy "
2) set a VO name " Storms " , program it : Set OFF
3) In your radions outlet add this at the last line of programming : If Outlet Storms = ON Then Stormy
4) To enable the storms effects , just set the outlet " Storms " to ON

Thank you so much! My wife will love this!
I set one just like that for demoing the lights when friends come over. Has anyone here created a more elaborate light show in APEX to demo all the capabilities? Sort of like what you can do in demo mode if you control your radions with reeflink.
Yes it can be done with elaborate programming , multiples VO and profiles .
Alain
That would be cool! If you figure it out please post it!
Some body might do it , but unfortunatly I cant cuz i am out of profile on my Apex ( already have 29 in use ) and I cannot test it before posting . But if you have the time and ready for the effort it is pretty simple . Minimum requirements for this is 6 profiles , and 7 VO .
Alain
Notice the keyword ELABORATE. Radion demo mode is mode complex than my ATO code, and thats saying something. You would need at minimum 12 profiles and 24 virtual outlets running in sync with each other that are conditional on a demo VO, and even then it is not gonna look the same.
Hello Alain B,
I was wondering if you could help me with this a bit more. I think I need a bit more basic description of how to set this up. I have my tank and light set up now and was coming back to do the programing and am having some trouble. Thanks!
Help you in what way my friend ? Describe your problem or what you are trying to do .
Alain
Hello again,
I think i figured it out....thanks!
I got all the code in you mentioned, but when the outlet for the storm is turned on nothing happens. I have set the % to 100 and nothing for the past hour.
Post the the full programming you used.

If Outlet TStorm = ON Then Stormy
What radion firmware are you using in those fixtures ?
Alain
the most current....I hooked them up last night and did the firmware update then
Is the new firmware causing issues?
So is it working?
NO...I can see the cloud effects, but no lightning
Light Max Int: 100
Try changing this value to a lower percentage, and this one to a higher:
Lightning Int: 60

Got mine to work
did you do the changes above to get it fixed?
Hello,
I changed those values as suggested and I still only get clouds....no lightning
I made the changes.
This profile works for me:
