Ramping leds up multiple times a day

Thanks to Curt, I've been using seasonal temps flawlessly for a while now, and love it!

https://forum.reefangel.com/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=6622

However, I'd now like to ramp my lights several times a day so my corals don't get blasted with max light intensity all day long. can either be randomly (like cloudy periods) or one hour up...one down...one up...

any idea how I might code that?

Thanks

I have an idea or 2 but need some time to write it down.

You are just wanting to ramp up to 100% and back down multiple times and not be related to the seasonal temperatures, correct?

Hey Curt, no rush at all and thanks a bunch.

correct not related to seasonal temps but would still like to control max intensity via the portal as I'm doing now.

Thanks
