    Question Season Table Lighting Difficulties

    I'm having a heck of a time understanding how to program lighting using the season table. I thought when I figured out OSC I was an Apex master


    Here's my program and what I would like it to do:

    Fallback OFF
    Set OFF
    If Sun 000/-360 Then CoralAM - slow ramp from 0% to 20% that starts at sunrise
    If Sun 180/360 Then SPS_PHX14UP - 1 hour ramp up from 20% to 55% to my mid-day program that starts 3 hours after sunrise
    If Sun 360/-060 Then SPS_PHX14DN - 1 hour ramp down from 55% to 20% to my coral PM program that starts 1 hour before sunrise
    If Sun 360/270 Then CoralPM - slow ramp down from the SPS_PHX14DN profile that runs 4 hours past sunset and runs for 4 1/2 hours from 20% to 0%
    If Sun 240/-120 Then SPS_PHX14 - constant mid-day program at 55%
    If Output CoralView = ON Then CoralView - heavy blue on-demand for coral viewing controlled by another profile and a virtual outlet

    I thought I had this figured out but I just happened to on my Apex fusion dashboard that my lights were on at 20% around 11:30 p.m. In short, it's working as I would like except for coming back on unexpectedly. Any thoughts on what I am doing wrong with my program or profiles? The profiles pretty much do exactly what I am stating above regarding their ramp up and down times (or constant) but I can add those if needed.

    Thanks much,

    Matt

    You need to make these changes

    Fallback OFF
    Set OFF
    If Sun 000/-360 Then CoralAM - slow ramp from 0% to 20% that starts at sunrise
    If Sun 180/-360 Then SPS_PHX14UP - 1 hour ramp up from 20% to 55% to my mid-day program that starts 3 hours after sunrise
    If Sun 360/-060 Then SPS_PHX14DN - 1 hour ramp down from 55% to 20% to my coral PM program that starts 1 hour before sunrise
    If Sun 360/270 Then CoralPM - slow ramp down from the SPS_PHX14DN profile that runs 4 hours past sunset and runs for 4 1/2 hours from 20% to 0%
    If Sun 240/-060 Then SPS_PHX14 - constant mid-day program at 55%
    If Output CoralView = ON Then CoralView - [B]heavy blue on-demand for coral viewing controlled by another profile and a virtual outlet
