    idea i have, lights and pumps for storm effects

    wondering has anyone done this? any ideas on how to ?

    i have radion lights and tunze powerheads.

    thinking i might want to see if i can get the tunze pumps to change flows when the radion program starts a storm or lightning.

    like churn up the tank and make more choppy waves while the lights go into making lightning effects.

    i think i can figure it out but has anyone else done this already ?

    Make a profile with chance of clouds and probability of lightning high. Instead of using the checkbox, trigger it with a virtual outlet like this. This example randomly starts storms when the moon would not be out, and only during a 3 hour timeframe between 7pm and 10pm.

    Stormy
    OSC 000:00/005:23/120:00 Then ON
    If Moon 000/000 Then OFF
    If Time 22:00 to 19:00 Then OFF

    Radions (advanced window)
    If Output Stormy = ON Then Storm

    Pumps
    (Existing code)
    If Output Stormy = ON Then profilename


    You might be an engineer if...You have no life and can prove it mathematically.
