    Do RAMP profiles reset when there is a power outage?

    I control my kessils with the SUN command and I have a ramp profile for each one of my stages (thanks from another forum).

    Set OFF
    If Output ATTINIC = ON Then ATTINIC_POW
    If Sun 120/-240 Then Int_Rise
    If Sun 480/120 Then Int_Set
    If Sun 360/-060 Then Int_Day
    If EMERGE CLOSED Then OFF

    My Int_Rise is a ramp up of 240 minutes.

    My question I was testing some power outages, and I disconnected everything, when I plugged back everything, it seems my variable output is on the right stage of my programming, but it seems the RAMP up started again from from the percentage I have it close to 0%. Is that normal or a way to prevent it?

    Yes, that’s normal when you restart the Apex or experience a power outage..ramp profiles will start anew.

    Either just accept it (I don’t think that it is a big concern with lighting), or provide battery-backup to the Apex.
    Please do not send me PMs with technical questions or requesting assistance - use the forums for Apex help. PM me ONLY if the matter is of a private or personal nature. Thanks.

    Ah gotcha, I do have a battery backup, I was just testing a complete outage, that explains on my other testing the RAMP profile doesn't reset
