Ai hydra with director help please

[scarface8]

Hi guys, first post here on R2R,

So tonight I got to my tank and see that my lights are completly off, they have power but they are just off, my setup is as follows

2 hydra 26s (moon effects 5% on violet)

2 hydra 52s

1 director

Right now all lights should be in ramp down mode, not completely off to show this I will post 2 pics at the bottom, 1 showing ramp time etc please note the time on my phone it's a screen shot and the other will be my tank in darkness so excuse the crappy photo, does anyone have any idea why this just happened? Did any US time zones just go into daylight saving time? My director still tells me it's in sync with my Timezone, I can operate them using the manual sliders

And help will be much appreciated, thanks guys

What color is the indicator light on the director?

Oh and btw, Welcome to R2R! This is a great place with great people

EDIT: The only thing I can think of is that your director is disconnected (red dot). If it is, you can turn it off and back on and see if it reconnects...

In that case, I'm sorry for being zero help...

Maybe try recycling it anyway, if you haven't already.

Looks like it may have been lunar mode being on, I turned that off and lights are now on, ramped down of course, they should ramp down to off In The next ten minutes, it's currently 8:50pm lunar shouldn't start till 9:00pm wierd that lights went completely off at about 7:00pmish ?!??

That is really strange. The lights are working now though?

Welcome to REEF2REEF! Check the date and time that the app is set to in the settings.

My date and time reset on me and defaulted to like May 1, 1969 and my lights were off and doing weird stuff. I changed it to the current date and time and restarted the app and everything went back to normal.

Yes it was indeed the lunar settings in the director app, for what ever reason they changed, they were supposed to be on from 9pm until 7am, but for some reason it changed itself to be on at 7pm until 9am, that's really wierd, I have never had a problem with any of my lighting gear, but it looks like it is solved for now, I'll see what happens tonight

 

[scarface8]

So it looks like problem solved for now... but we'll see, turned out to be a minor issue for now, but at least it's here if it happens to anyone else [emoji106]
