I have the dimmable lunar hub connected to channel 0 of the dimming expansion unit.
This is the code I have for the lunar lights to come on at 10 pm and go off at 8 am.

if (hour()>=22 && hour()<8) // Turn Moonlights on/off
{
ReefAngel.PWM.SetChannel( 0, MoonPhase());
} else
{
ReefAngel.PWM.SetChannel( 0, 0 );
}

Will this code work?

No it wont. You cant have a logic statement where the hour is greater than 22 AND less than 8. Change the && to || and it will become a logical OR statement instead. So the statement would say if the hour is greater than 22 or if its less than 8.

I have changed the code to this:

if (hour()>=8 && hour()<22) // Turn Moonlights on/off
{
ReefAngel.PWM.SetChannel( 0, (0));
}
else
{
ReefAngel.PWM.SetChannel( 0, MoonPhase());
}

Will this code work now?

Yep, thats the other way to do it...

Thanks.

The light came on at 10 pm. Hope it goes off at 8 am

The lunar lights went off at 8am. The code works!

Hey guys,

I have a question around the wiring of the hub. I have LEDS connected to ports 0,1,2 and 3 on my Dimmable Expansion Module. Am I correct in thinking I can connect the Moonhub to port 4?

You can connect it to the standard dimming ports on the relay box, or any unused channel in your dimming module.

Thanks Roberto .. thats what I was hoping for. I'll be using the dimming ports on the relay box to connect my 2 Jebao WP25's .. so port 4 on the dimming module it is .. now to place an order with Reef Angel SA
