    Moon programming

    Hi just wondering if this will work_

    I have programmed my Radio XR30 G4 Pro's using the graph wizard to a light cycle I like throughout the day. However at night I would like the radions to follow the moon cycle based on the internal tables. I have made a profile called LED_ Moon with my preferred intensities and color settings. I then made a virtual outlet called Moonlight with the following line:

    Set off
    If Moon 000/000 Then ON

    Lastly in my Radion's I added the following line in the advanced programming tab:

    If Output Moonlight = ON Then LED_Moon

    Thanks for your help.

    You also need a time statement in the VO to disable it when the lights would normally be on. Otherwise the VO will override your schedule and turn on moonlights during the day.

    Thanks! I'm still fairly new to the programming and really appreciate the help. So if I add a line:

    If Time 03:00 to 20:30 Then off

    It will allow my day program to proceed and then allow the moonlight from 20:31 until 03:00? Does the If Moon 000/000 mean to use the tables- differing rise and sets and new moon days?

    Thanks again

    Yes.

    Set OFF
    If Moon 000/000 Then ON
    If Time 03:00 to 20:30 Then OFF

    In laymens terms says between the hours of 20:30 and 3:00, turn on 000 minutes before moonrise and turn off 000 minutes after moonset.
