    How do I temporarily override the Radion lighting program?

    Let's say I have people over and want the tank to be at it's best lighting for coral color, more blues, etc. How do I temporarily override the program for a period of time?

    I made a radion profile that has the setting you want to show and programmed it to turn on with my feedb (20k) and feedc (14k) buttons for an hour

    You can also do this by rigging a button to break out box and using the button or switch to activate those profiles. I have switches to turn on stand lights and such which would be similar.

    I don't have a breakout box.

    I don't understand how you would create a second Radion profile and pick and choose which to run.

    Click on the folder looking thing. To get a page like above.

    Then make your profile.


    Then under your wxm.
    If feeda 000 then "profile name."

    Sorry for my ignorance, but let's say I go and create a profile (which I did that matches above), how do I run the profile? Currently my Radion is the 4_17 virtual outlet, I believe. There was no existing Radion in profiles.

    You say under my WXM? Is that the 4_17 virtual outlet I mentioned? When I open that I get a graph with set points and don't see any advanced section where I can add some programming language to match a feed mode.

    Do I add the code by clicking the configuration button top right on the Radion virtual outlet?

    I've been struggling with the same issue. Not sure what step I've missed. I too want to be able to turn on my radions outside of their normal program. I set up a profile under ID 1 and called it Coralview and then configured my 4_17 radion using bhofosho's settings. saved it but then when I turn on 4_17 it just turns on 100% full intensity. PLEASE HELP.....

    put in your exact settings but when I turn on the outlet it still goes on 100%. I know Ive missed a step. Sorry but Im very new with the apex and radions. Its been a real challenge but so thrilling when it finally works.

    You need to go into the place where you have all your normal radion lighting scem, then press the gear to take you into the advance area. Then you can reference your programs. Like these.

    If FeedB 000 Then Radion_Blue
    If FeedC 000 Then Coral_View
    If Temp > 79.6 Then Radion_Low
    Min Time 020:00 Then OFF

    Do you have your radions set up, working and on fusion?
    You should see one radion that's plugged into EB8 and the other one witch I think is called the virtual outlet.
    Did you put the programming into the virtual outlet? Did you then set to auto?

    Ok only copy what profile you made and put it only into the advance area.

    If FeedB 000 Then Coralview

    Be sure spelling is exactly the way you have it under the profile area.

    Did you set up a profile called Coralview?

    yes profile is set up under ID 1 called Coralview. I then configured it using bhofosho's settings just to copy someone's as a test. I just changed the program to "If FeedB 000 Then Coralview" It saved but once again when I turn on the outlet it turns on 100%.

    - - - Updated - - -

    I know Im probably missing a step(s) but its soooo frustrating..lol

    That 000 is the additional wait time it'll stay on your custom profile. I'm not sure why it's doing 100% and not your settings.
