I am confused with the programming parameters with this light. When I look at the webpage for the light it states:
  • Wifi control through Android App (No OIS yet) Up to 10 set points for each channel/ 30 per day
and shows an example of programming which shows 10 different times for ramping during the day. However if you watch Mike's Youtube videos part 1 and 2 on programming the light he shows and seems to explain that you can program up to 30 different times a day for ramping changes. I also noticed the app he is using is different than mine. I do not have a Stop time for a timer on my app. I am aware there have been a couple different versions of the app released and assume this is the difference.

Here is why I am confused. When I received my light I only programmed 10 times per day for ramping changes and the light has worked perfectly. last night it added several more times in for a more seamless ramp. After I added these times (27 total) the light would not come on in Smart mode. I had manual control and I could preview the program but when I sent the new program to the light I received the popup on the app advising the light was updated (I forget what it actually said) but the light did not come on. I assumed I had added too many ramping points and went to bed. When I got up the morning the light is om and appears to be running my program.

So, how many times per day will the light change it's settings and is there a minimum amount of time between ramping changes. Also any idea why the light would not accept the programming last night?

Thank you and sorry to be so long.
 
Spoke with Mike at Reef Lights and he resolved this issue for me.
Thanks Mike!
