    How to turn radion off if heat high?

    My Radion is already controlled via Apex, but I have the outlet set to always on, so there isn’t a way to have it turn off if the temp gets too high. Hot days making me nervous. I know how to set it to go off based on temp, but there are only options for on time and off time whe you program the outlet as a light. I need it always on, unless it’s too hot. Help please?

    Are you controlling the Radion program with a WXM module? If so, then just go into the Advanced tab for the Radion and set a temperature threshold to turn it off:

    If Tmp > 82 Then OFF

    You shouldn't need to change any settings on the energybar outlet itself. In fact, it's recommended to plug the Radion power into a normal power strip instead of wasting a programmable outlet. Again, this assumes you're using WXM.

    That can cause the light to flicker on and off rapidly if temp is near the setpoint. A better way is to do this

    VO will dim at high but not dangerous temps and turn off completely at dangerous temps. Set profile dim to desired spectrum and lower than normal intensity like maybe 25% or so. Set the time statement to hours intensity would normally be above the dimming intensity.

    DimLights
    If Temp > 81.1 Then ON
    If Temp < 81.0 Then OFF
    If Time 20:00 to 10:59 Then OFF


    Radion Advanced Tab
    If Output DimLights = ON Then Dim
    If Temp > 82.0 Then OFF
    Min Time 010:00 Then OFF
