Did you try resetting it, like unplugging it for a while, turning up the lights then plugging it back in?

No. I’m waiting to see what caused this light to be on at midnight when it isn’t scheduled.

What are your Moonlight Simulation settings? If that is set to Advanced instead of Basic it will override your other settings.

When I open the app and go to the simulation area it is on basic (I assume since that is the tab showing). Do you have to click on the advanced tab for it to be running in advanced mode? That’s what I am assuming. Maybe I’ll hook that light up to my laptop and see what it shows instead of using the app. Is there an onboard battery in the light that retains info?

I have no idea why your light is on but love the title of this thread!

Will the person that turned Cali9dub’s light on please own up now!

Not sure the title is referring to a person turning the light on, but roll with it.

Sorry I thought it was a tongue in cheek title, thanks, you have put my straight in that, it wasn’t.

Hooked the light up in GCC and it was set to standalone??? Not sure how it changed. Can it be set to standalone from the front panel of the light? Maybe the front panel is going bad ? Very strange. Maybe it got splashed with tank water ??

Yep, whichever tab is showing is the active mode.
Glad you figured out what the problem was. Now just need to figure out why!

Residual power, might need to be unplugged and plugged back in

Exactly. Not sure why it switched to stand alone. That’s why I was leaning toward the control panel on the light. Unless my P4 has gone skynet on me.

Well it does have the German accent...

Weird power spike reset it or something?
