KBOzzie59 Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 (edited) The on/off cycle is set in the app, if I recall correctly the Kasa outlet will not turn the light on. Here is my schedule on a standard 20 gallon. Edited December 21, 2021 by KBOzzie59 added an e to her to make it here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Zawacki Posted December 21, 2021 Author Share Posted December 21, 2021 Ok my I have a few Red swords in the tank will those parameters work also could you show me the percentage bar for the chart above. And one more question the on off for the light in the app how do I get it to turn on at 830am and shut off at 530pm ? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBOzzie59 Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 In auto/pro the percentages are shown on the left side of the screen. You will need to use either auto/pro to program your on/off cycle. Since you are just starting with this light I recommend using the "auto" mode. Select "Auto" 1. Select Sunrise and set on time and duration until full sunrise. 2 Select Daylight and set you desired intensities. 3. Select Sunset Set time as desired. 4. Set any intensities you may want for night. I run all zeros as it is "night". 5. If you set all zeros on #4 you can just ignore this one. Otherwise set it for the time you want all light off.

Andy's Fish Den Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 You cant use a wifi timer or any other type of timer with the Fluval lights, use the timer through the app. Anytime the power is interrupted to the light whether a timer shutting it off or a power outage, when power is restored, it resets the internal timer to 00:00 (midnight). Check out the thread that @Streetwiselinked on here, or if you look on YouTube, @Bentley Pascoehas a great three part series on the Fluval 3.0 lights.
