Any MXM experts out there yet?

[Reefing.with.Rich]

Is there a way to put my exact lighting schedule from my mobius app onto the fusion app?
Jsut got my MXM today and trying to get everything figured out
Any tips and tricks will be appreciated!!

According to Neptune, there's no way to import it - you have to recreate it in Fusion.

Well dang
Thats some sh1t

Yeah, you're not kidding. Especially since you can export templates in Mobius.

If I knew that I likely wouldn’t have even bought it lol

Apparently you can no longer use the Mobius app afterwards, as well (not that this is necessarily a bad thing).

You can actually
You set a fallback schedule on the the mobius app in case the MXM has no connection(internet failed)

I meant aside from that, yes (similar to how IOTA devices work with Fusion).

The oddest thing to me was you still have to use Mobius to update the lights AND the MXM module. Hardest thing for me was getting the moonlight back the way it was in Mobius with lunar cycles where I controlled the time and it controlled the intensity based on lunar phase. May have it worked out now, but it seems you can't specify time/intensity/ramps unless you use the wizard. The other option is to just remove wizard settings (just spectrum remains) and add "If Moon 000/000 Then ON" to the advanced tab and you don't control the time the lunar table does. You can control the max intensity though with something like "If Moon 000/000 Then 50%". There are no thunderstorms either but that was a feature to put people into an epileptic fit.

I guess that makes sense, although so much for getting rid of Mobius... No thunderstorms or disco, huh? My fish will be so disappointed, lol.

I just hooked it up today and already considering selling it

OMG yes, I forgot about the missing disco lol. I bought my G5 pro's Febuary 2020. Think I tried that disco setting exactly once. Thunderstorms not much more.

Fish love disco lighting . Said no fish... ever!

Seems like that last command line (If Moon 000/000 then 50%) would only give you 50% lunar intensity at the right time. The problem as I understand it with the "If Moon" command is that its designed to work with the Lunar module (LSM) which controls the lunar phases (intensity)... aka the "If Moon..." command doesn't communicate the intensity to the MXM for the radions, only the timing of moonrise/moonset from the local dashboard seasonal tables.

I have not tested this myself though, so I'm still speculating. Anybody know differently?

Those comments reflect the reality of it after getting feedback from Neptune support. And yes 50% is what I use because the light is too bright IMO. Lunar phase is not affected by that just the maximum intensity.

The commands might have originated from the LSM module but that's what they use for the MXM commands. Does not work exactly the same as Mobius but it does work, and I have varying intensities of moonlight matching lunar phase just with a maximum intensity of 50%

Does anyone have a step by step of how to get this dang thing to use the lunar schedules similar to Mobius? I tried what was posted here and could still not get the lunar lights to work like before.
