    Running preview for the VarSpd lighting wizard turns off lights that aren't connected to the VarSpd port?

    Is this normal?

    With the lighting schedule wizard in Apex Fusion for a VarSpd channel when I use the preview button, other lights that aren't plugged into the any VarSpd ports get turned off and on.

    If this is normal, can you please tell me why it happens?

    Will these other devices have this same behavior when the wizard runs in normal fashion, as opposed to the preview mode?

    That is normal. They do it that way so you can see how other channels interact.

    That's kind of my concern. When I program 1 individual VarSpd to control 1 individual channel, I only want that one VarSped to be doing stuff. When I run the preview, my refugium light is being turned off and on though it isn't connected to any VarSpd port. Does this mean that my refugium light is going to be getting turned off when the wizard runs in real-time instead of preview? I don't see any reason why my refugium should be getting turned on or off based on the wizard for a VarSpd port???

    Your refugium light will be turned on or off at that point in the lights cycle.

    Got it. The wizard is simulating the entire day for the whole Apex system, not just the VarSpd port that I am currently programming. Thanks.
