Is the new weather profile strictly for VDM units or can it be used just like the dimming feature and modulate the voltage from the base ports? Can it only be used for AI lights using the serial port on the VDM? I used the following test program for my VarSpd port, but no joy:

Set OFF
If Time 18:00 to 18:01 Then RampUp
If Time 18:01 to 18:30 Then ON
If Time 18:05 to 18:20 Then Storm
If Time 18:30 to 18:31 Then RampDown

BTW, I am using DIY Cree with MeanWell dimmable drivers on my whites.

It is for the AI unit but you can get similar behavior using pump profiles assigned to the VarSpeed ports; they can switch fast enough to simulate clouds, etc.

It would be great if Curt could assign the weather profiles to the VarSpeed ports. The Weather profiles have a randomization feature which I don't think the pump profiles have. Ken do you have any programs assembled and tested with the MeanWell dimmable drivers?
