Don't waste you RA outlets on meanwell D or P drivers. Power them 24/7 from a standard home outlet. Then dim them with the RA actinic and daylight ports.
Out for now...but not over.

Hes got them on a power strip with his actinics. Not really wasting a port :)

Glad you understand my set up. So, since the outlet comes on at 6am, which it does...how do I make the Daylight port come on at 7am to 9pm? I am still trying to figure out my exact % that I want them at, but for now 15-55 seems safe.

Where are the dimming wires going from your meanwell drivers to the relay box? They should be plugged into the actinic or daylight pwm port. Are they both hooked to one?

I am running whites and blues on the same driver. They are plugged into the daylight port.

So change Actinic to Daylight in the function roberto gave. Try that and see first we can change the parameters later if its working

And i would actually put the function for both ports as a troubleshooting step to make sure you got the right port...
