Let's try the wizard code and see what happens.
You can change the time to end in something like 10 minutes from now to see what you get.
This way we don't need to wait until the end of the day.
Like this:

Code: Select all

ReefAngel.PWM.SetDaylight( PWMParabola(7,0,9,0,12,100,12) );
ReefAngel.PWM.SetActinic( PWMParabola(8,0,9,0,12,100,12) );
I'm on PDT, so it's almost 9:00am. Change it to your appropriate time zone.

Did you use military time?
Can you post the code you used?

Also, can you double check what time your controller is showing?

One of your channels control brightness and the other is for color temp...so not being shut down is ok...

Btw, where did the 12 come from...have you tried putting 0 instead? The 12 is the min dim if your drivers flicker at lower percent..i dont know if that would be an issue with the kessil

Roberto, It was pleasure talking to you this evening and thank you for trying to figure this controller out. Unfortunately, I have discouraging news. AP: 0 DP: 0 and the lights are still on, all be it, very dim.
What next? should I plug them back into my timer for the night.

I think we will need to do what others do too.
We need to turn the ports on the relay box off so you get no power on the Kessils.
You are using it on port1 and port2 correct?
Use this in your code:

Code: Select all

ReefAngel.StandardLights(Port1,8,0,20,0);
ReefAngel.StandardLights(Port2,8,0,20,0);
Roberto.
