    New Owner Kessil Question

    Hello! I just bought an Apex and was hoping someone could please help me with a question / issue I have.

    Background: I have 3 Kessil A360 We lights connected together. They are connected to V1 and V2 and the color and intensity profiles are using the wizard / table. I have also created 3 other profiles -

    1) MaxIntens 100%
    2) Moon Light - 0
    3) Day Light - 100

    I also have the Breakout box with a 3 way toggle connected to switch 2 and switch 3.

    Desired End State: In the center position, I would like the toggle to stay on schedule per the table I have already created. However, I would like it in the Right position to turn on the Moon Lights and override the schedule and in the Left position I would like it to turn on the Day Light and over ride the schedule. I believe I can use this when there I do maintenance or if I need to turn them on temporarily if I have a visitor.

    For the Colors Channel, I have added code in the Advanced section that reads as follows:

    If Moon Closed Then MoonLight
    If Day Closed Then Day Light

    For the Intensity Channel, I have added the following Code:

    If Moon Closed Then MaxIntens
    If Day Closed Then MaxIntens

    Moon Light, Day Light and Max Intens are all Ramp Profiles. However after I add my code hit save, exit and return, Apex changes my code automatically and the switch does not behave as desired. Images attached.

    Please help!!

    You cant start a switch or outlet name with a reserved system keyword. You need to rename the switch to something else like SwMoon
