Hello, I am new to Radions and just picked this guy up for a great deal. Anyway I am using one of the presets but I would like to add a moonlight that stays on all night and turns off when the day light program starts. How do I go about doing this? I have played around with increasing the blue intensity to 53% I think and brightness to 1%. It ends up looking as bright as I would like it and save the program and run the test but it doesn't turn on when I want it to.
 
Bump have the 4th Gen would like this also
 
You should keep the overall brightness the same as all your other points and adjust the color using only the individual color sliders, I find that works better than messing with the brightness settings from point to point. That also allows you to proportionally lower or raise the color of the entire schedule.

First, when setting up a color and doing the preview, it may look a bit different than when you actually run the program, especially when dealing with very low power to LEDs. I've had where I would set it very low but it wouldnt actually light up, and instances where I would have it barelly lit, but then the actually schedule would run it brighter. Unfortunately, LED's dimming capabilities arent as accurate on the lower end than when there is more power given to them.

Second, there is a moonlight cycle button (dont recall the exact name), make sure that is off. What this does is "simulate" moon cycles that range from none at all to the maximum you set. If that feature is on, it may be on a low or no moon phase right now and that's why you arent seeing any moonlight.

Third, make sure the LED's are calibrated, if you havent done so yet.

Fourth, after you adjust the point, make sure to actually click "save" before you program. You have to save the point setting and then program the light.

Finally, the quick preview is actually terrible at previewing the schedule, it moves too fast and sometimes on the moonlight stuff it doesnt pick it up. Wait to see how it actually looks when the schedule gets there naturally.

Hope these pointers help!

PS. There is also a Ecotech tutorial on youtube that is pretty good:

I currently have the moonlight cycle on. Since the moon right now isn't really bright so my light wont turn on?

Im not sure whether it follows the moon schedule that is actually real or not. But yes, if you have it on, it would be somewhere between 0 and your maximum moonlight setting. It will go up and down between them throughout the month. If you just want the same moonlight everyday, just turn off that feature, adjust to what you want, and it'll run that every day without any changes.
 
Thanks, I will try this tomorrow.
