Ques. Lunar Program with Apex Radions w/MXM

[eliotgorman]

If anyone has any guidance on setting up EcoTech Radions with an Apex & MXM module, appreciate any advice.

I have the Radions working fine in the Apex after adding them to MXM, and have 2 new tiles in the Apex (named Lunar…), but documentation is scarce on how to have the Radions show moonlight settings at night and preferably follow the lunar schedule.

Any tips appreciated…

This is how I have mine. Follows the programmed lunar cycle.

That code is in the Lunar tiles? Both of them?

I have mine grouped, but if you want to keep them separate add the code to each tile.

And those lunar tiles are separate from the normal/day time Radion tiles?

Yes

If you really want to take a deep dive you can read @Thales write up here https://packedhead.net/

Got it; I grouped the 2 lunar tiles and added the code you suggested.

Assuming you used the default program the lunar tile provided, then just added the script code.

Will see what happens. In the mean time I’ll check out that post. Not that I doubt your guidance would just like to understand how it works!

Thank you!

Did you manually align your lunar schedule start & end at or near the daytime schedule, with a little overlap?

I did not know that the are capable of a lunar cycle. What Gen are your lights?

Believe lunar is only if you have an MXM module attached, otherwise you would have to use Mobius.

I actually don’t need a lunar moon schedule/cycle, just wanted the moonlight settings for the late evening.

I found that my Radions will follow the program set up in the Lunar output if no advanced script code, using the schedule and percentages configured; whereas the script code just turns the moonlight on/off.

Presuming this means that using the schedule setup (times and %) does not follow a lunar schedule, just the same moonlight settings every night, whereas the advanced script code turns moonlight on/off based on lunar schedule?
