Hi,
My apex is not following moon phasing with different percentage. Today is supposed to be waxing crescent and my moon lights are at 100 percent. I added the if moon code and it created a program but it’s at 85% schedule intercity and 100% for both moon light Leds.

I have a Neptune Sky and it works as long as you don’t click ok on the wizard tile and allow it to make a schedule. Your code should be in the basic view configuration:

Set Off
If Moon 000/000 Then ON

if I do that code the moon lights will be on at 100 percent during the moon schedule.

where did you insert it the code and what do you mean about the wizard tile.

I bet it is working just fine and you are looking at the wrong place.
You see the intensity of the moon in the slider and in the season table sheet which isn't really accessable anymore.

I have done this on many systems, including radions

In the image in the post i just quoted you are using
Set Off
If Moon 000/000 Then 5

If that is code you are actually using, you won't get intensity changes because you are telling it to be at 5%, not to follow the season table

Set Off
If Moon 000/000 Then ON

Is the code you want, but if you have messed with the season table in APEX local things might be weird. The APEX itself makes the calculations for you behind the scenes.

I am not understanding where you are getting that they are at intensity of 100% - none of the screenshots you have posted show the percentage, and once you put in code, the graph defaults to a standard that has nothing to do with what the moon code is doing. The code overrides all of the GUI. The only place to see the intensity of the moon is on the slider, and that will change as the intensity changes, or on the season table sheet which is hard to access from APEX local..
