Adding Switches to Radions

[ClintL]

Hello,

I want added a couple switches so i can turn the Radions on when there normally off for cleaning or working in the tank. I would also like to be able to turn a switch on and the lights go into blues only mode. Is this possible? Im usually pretty good with the apex code but the Radion code makes it more difficult.

Thanks,

There are two ways to do this.

One is to add a physical switch, called lSwith for example, to a BOB and in the code for the lights add

If lSwitch Open Then ON

You could also create a virtual outlet, vLight, like

Set ON

and add

If Outlet vLight = ON Then ON

In Fusion you would normally have this OFF and when you want the lights on set it to ON.

You can have both if you add the 2 statements to your lights. Then you could turn them on either way.

Sorry I did not read the entire post and missed the part about blue.

Lets be a little more speciffic

The gear in the upper left of the outlets controlling the lights brings up a configuration pop up and if you click advanced it shows a program that wil be executed after the generated code to control the lights. The code from above goes there. If you have a second switch just put the code that will turn the lights blue, I have Kessils so I am not sure about the radeions but with the Dessils you would have a profile that set the blue color and if the switch were on you just select that profile. You might also want to do something with the intensity when the blue switch is thrown.

Feed modes work for such things as well and will turn off by themselves which is nice if you're forgetful like me.

I already have the switches wired to the BOB. I setup some to turn pumps on and off, but the Radion coding is where i loose it. If under the advanced configuration screen I add "If lSwitch Open Then ON", what do i put to turn the blue channels on?

Define a profile of Type Radion with the desired spectrum and intensities. Then use:

If switch-name OPEN Then profile-name.

The profiles worked perfectly, Thank you Russ and everyone else that commented. Heres what i installed:
