    Light ramps and seasonal tables

    Hi, I've been creating profiles as described in the Sticky for creating a seasonal lighting schedule using my Radions. I am wondering if it is possible to create more than 3 events (sun_up, Midday, Sound_Dn). What I mean is can you create two more such as Dawn and Dusk to occur before and after rise and set?

    I am trying to create a Dawn that is mainly red and green light ramping up for 30 minutes then proceeding to a standard Sun_up ramping all the colors to their respective levels over a 4 hour period, then Midday for 7 hours, Sun_Dn over a 2 hour period and then a similar red/green Dusk for 30 minutes.

    I have created the profiles but what I don't understand is how to incorporate them into the seasonal time schedule XXX/XXX

    Thanks for any insights!

    You do the same process, but put the farthest from midday at the top.

    Ex
    Set Night
    If Sun 000/-360 Then RampUp1
    If Sun 060/-360 Then RampUp2
    If Sun 180/-360 Then RampUp3
    If Sun 360/-180 Then RampDn1
    If Sun 360/-060 Then RampDn2
    If Sun 360/000 Then RampDn3
    If Sun 240/-240 Then MidDay

    Thanks, I think I understand so for what I am doing would this look right?

    If Sun 000/-360 Then Dawn (my dawn program for 30 minutes)
    If Sun 030/-360 Then Sun_Up (My ramp up for 2.5 hours)
    If Sun 360/-030 Then Sun_Dn (My ramp down for 2.5 hours)
    If Sun 360/000 Then Dusk (My dusk program for 30 minutes)
    If Sun 180/-180 Then MidDay (My MidDay peak for the remaining 6 hours)

    Reverse the order of these two statements in the program listing:

    If Sun 360/-030 Then Sun_Dn (My ramp down for 2.5 hours)
    If Sun 360/000 Then Dusk (My dusk program for 30 minutes)

    to be

    If Sun 360/000 Then Dusk (My dusk program for 30 minutes)
    If Sun 360/-030 Then Sun_Dn (My ramp down for 2.5 hours)
