Connection between LightsOnPorts and Actinic/Daylight value?

phrusher · Post by **phrusher** » Thu Aug 30, 2012 3:13 am

I just noticed that when I turn on the lights through the portal or Android RA Status then my Actinic and Daylight (analog dimming output) values are reset to 20% each. Is that by design or have I just missed something? It's a bit annoying since I run my Tunze on my analog out which means they stop when I turn on the lights (they need at least 25% to run).

This only happens when I manually turn the lights on. When my light schedule in RA turns on the lights it does not affect the analog out.

I can post my .ino later on when I get back home if you like.

Yes, by design.
This is the LED lights override.
They will actually pulls values from memory location:
Mem_B_LEDPWMDaylight and Mem_B_LEDPWMActinic. If you set them to whatever value you prefer, your tunzes will turn into that value when you override lights on.

Is it possible to bypass this somehow? I'm going to use the separate dimming expansion module for the leds so I would prefer to not change the pumps depending of the light.
