Hi, I was wondering if you could use the SUN comand in conjunction with the variable speed ports, to ramp up and down my T5 lights. I have the dimming ballasts and they work fine with the just the fixed times and profiles. I'm not seeing something with the SUN command though. I looked through the official and unofficial guides and checked the boards but couldn't find anything. Any advice or programing examples would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Just substitute a profile name instead of ON or OFF in the Sun command.

Tried that, It doesn't work.

I suspect that it is because of the built in ON/OFF capability of the Sun command. I think you may have to create some virtual outlets to read the ON/OFF state and then use If Outlet...Then PFx.

That's what I was thinking too.

What firmware are you running? The Sun and Moon statements will support a profile but you need 4.04.
