Good afternoon
I am from Brazil and english is not my first language so I am sorry if I am not direct enough explaining the issue. I am currently using a Zetlight Qmaven2 6600 over my 4 feet/120cm 80 gallons/300 liters tank.
Zetlight has a much easier App to use. I set it up to start at 6Am at 3%, at 9:30 it goes to 40%, 12:00 goes to 90%, at 6PM it goes down to 20%, at 8PM it goes back to 3% and 0% at 8:15PM. This way the light turns on at 06AM and turns off at 8:15PM.
My main issue is that when I try to replicate a similar schedule on my Orphek Icon, the light turns on around 2 hours before the initial point at 6am with 0% intensity on all channels and It only turns off around 2 hours after my last point at 8:15 with 0% intensity on all channels. I was able to see it using the PLAY feature where it shows the 24hs period over only 2 minutes.
When I choose the Helius built in program the same issue happens. It supposed to start at 9am and to finish at 9PM. But the light turns on before the initial point at 9AM and turns off after the final point at 9pm, again using the PLAY feature.
Also, one issue I found is that You cannot do any changes on the Icon pre-program and having it saved with a new name. You have to start a new program from zero. It would be so much easier if You could just adjust intensity levels on the pre-set time points or if You could just change the initial hour and then the entire program adjusted the next 11 hours ramps automatically.
I also had a hard time putting the channels at the exact percentage. It is much easier with the time points as You have the < and > to help adjusting at the exact minute.
Any help will be appreciated! A big thanks in advance!
