Help with time points in noopsyche app

[exnisstech]

I'm not sure I'm doing this correctly. Do I have to set every time point from the start time to the finish time and each time point in between or just the start and stop time points? Also will the lights automatically ramp up and down? I watched the video but they didn't really explain the time points that I saw. This is what I have but am not sure if it is correct.

Pretty confident it will slowly ramp up. It at least looks like that when I do demo. I think it would be cool if people shared there lighting file. Would love to see other peoples light schedules

I don’t have the newer Wi-Fi version, but the regular V3 does automatically ramp up/down, I would imagine the Wi-Fi version does as well.

Ok I must be missing something. I set up the schedule below and ran demo when the demo got to the second hour the lights turned on fully and demo ran all the way way to the end and the light never even shut off. No ramp up or ramp down. Can anyone more familiar help out? @noopsyche

I have these lights also but won’t be setting them up until this weekend. But my understanding is for ramp up, say you want them to turn on at 8am. You would have all zeroes at the 0800 time slot but at 0900 put you % at say 25 and over that hour it will ramp up to 25% at 0900. Or if you want a 3 hour ramp up to full lights put all zeroes at 0800 and whatever your full settings at 1100 and it should ramp up over the three hours. Just do reverse for ramp down.

Are they automatically going to start ramping up at 8? If I have all zeros at 8 why would they start ramping at 8 if my start time is 9 and still start ramping at 8 if my start time is 11? That doesn't make sense to me but maybe I'm misunderstanding. Also I was under the impression the demo mode is supposed to simulate the schedule that is set. I have all zeros until the 11th hour where I start my schedule and it is the same for all hours from 11 to 18 and all zeros after that. When I run the demo the lights come on full blast at the 2nd hour and never turn off and do not ramp up or down.

I’ll give it go tonight. But that’s the way I understand it from some posts on here and some videos of other people doing a review on YouTube. But I could have it wrong. So I’ll experiment and get back to you. But your right demo mode should show a ramping if set correctly. The way I understood it was it would change from one time setting to next so to start the day have all zeroes then ramp to next setting.

Thanks appreciate it.

Thanks appreciate it.

Ok did a test run. Set it for 1651 all zeroes. Then set 1700 for 25% on a few channels. They turned on at 1651 and I’m they are ramping up to the set values I have at 1700. So you need to have a time slot with all zeroes at your start point and at your end point. And the lights will ramp up and down between each time point. So at the end of day and you want lights off at say 10pm. Have the 2200 time slot all zeroes and 2000 time slot at 30 in all slots, it will ramp down from 30-0 from 2000 to 2200 hours.

Thank you for taking time to get back with this info, it is appreciated. I'll have another go at it this afternoon.

Thank you again for taking time out of your day to try your lights out. It must have been some type of glitch because mine are working properly and the demo is reflecting the correct settings now. These are some nice lights for the money. Plenty of PAR for sure. Whish these were out when I bought my radions and hydra

Hey no problem. Been wondering if you got it worked out. Glad I could help.
