Well I am hoping for a little help with my new LED.

I have the Kessil installed including the cable run and plugged into my full Apex in plug V1/V2.
As soon as I plugged it in the light shut off and I have not been able to get it back on using simple statements.
I have found an initial starting point for programming that I can tinker with (Thanks Aquamanic).

So my questions are;
1 Do I use a variable speed outlet?
2 Do I somehow have to let the Apex know it has a Kessil (like the Vortech's?)
3 Do I need to program all the profiles in before it will work?

I basically just need to get a starting point.

Yes, No, Yes if you want a program.

You should be able to just turn the outlets ON via the Dashboard and the light should go full intensity and bright white. Program or no program.

OMG!

I am trying to do too much at once.
I just realized it was plugged into the wrong jack.
I received a shipment today including a second EB8 and the Kessil. I am moving things all around and running cords in bundles and a general overhaul.
I missed a small simple step.

Thanks for the help sir.

Ok I have the unit plugged in and I have install the cable. I have pirated this programming from you. My question is do I enter all of the Varspd 1 and varspd 2 information on the same outlet?

Also do I turn the spectrum and intensity up to full on the Kessil itself?
[Varspd1 spectrum]
If Time 06:00 to 07:30 Then color10k
If Time 07:30 to 09:00 Then color15k
If Time 09:00 to 13:00 Then color20k
If Time 13:00 to 16:00 Then color20k
If Time 16:00 to 18:00 Then color75
If Time 18:00 to 22:00 Then color15k

[varspd2 intensity]
If Time 06:00 to 08:00 Then sunrise
If DoW -MTWTF- Then OFF
If Time 07:00 to 09:00 Then sunrise
If Time 09:00 to 19:00 Then midday
If Time 19:00 to 20:00 Then sunset
If FeedA 000 Then midday

Here's what the profiles look like:
[ sunrise ] ( PF16 )
Type: Ramp
Ramp Time: 60
Start Intensity: 12
End Intensity: 100
[ sunset ] ( PF17 )
Type: Ramp
Ramp Time: 60
Start Intensity: 100
End Intensity: 0
[ color10k ] ( PF18 )
Type: Ramp
Ramp Time: 1
Start Intensity: 20
End Intensity: 20
[ color15k ] ( PF19 )
Type: Ramp
Ramp Time: 1
Start Intensity: 50
End Intensity: 50
[ color20k ] ( PF20 )
Type: Ramp
Ramp Time: 1
Start Intensity: 100
End Intensity: 100
[ midday ] ( PF21 )
Type: Ramp
Ramp Time: 1
Start Intensity: 100
End Intensity: 100
[ color75 ] ( PF22 )
Type: Ramp
Ramp Time: 1
Start Intensity: 75
End Intensity: 75

NVM I think I get it now. The second set of statements goes in Vr2 as this is still off the same plug on the brain unit for Apex.

Ok well it is after 22:00 and the Kessil is still on. I was hoping it would shut down based on this profile [ sunset ] ( PF17 )
Type: Ramp
Ramp Time: 60
Start Intensity: 100
End Intensity: 0

What would I have done wrong here?
