I would like to manually turn my lights on and off, WHEN I WANT, using the Mobius app. Is that possible?

When I turn the lights off with the app - 5 minutes later they are back on again. By default I'm using the manual controls to turn them off at night.

You can schedule them to come on and or off anytime . Or you can put them on seperate strip plug wit on off switch . Coral require a certain amount of time under the lights and consistency , turning them off prematurely isn’t the best thing to do for their long term health and growth . Just set them to come on and off earlier

Create a scene and set all led's to zero. Set the desired time in that scene you want. Put the scene as a widget on the main screen of the app and you have easy access to turning them off.

I've been doing this since 1986 (yeah I'm old) but I do appreciate the concern. I realize I can set a schedule on the app but I want something more manual for now.

PS: I built my own LED lights before EcoTech was out of diapers and I could control those lights manually. I would expect nothing less from their equipment and software.

Sorry if I came off remedial . I get it . And I find myself less apt to bragg how long I’ve been at it and won’t say I’ve got you beat by a few which I will never repeat lol !!! :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes: Never !!! . That being said on amazon their are WiFi switches that you can turn on or off from anywhere in the world from your phone or if your looking for a more localized Switch I know that Lowe’s and Home Depot have switch’s that you can plug the lights into that have a manual switch . I think it’s made by levington . Good luck !!!........ oh ! One more thing doing this since 1986 doesn’t make you old ! , what were 6 years old lol !!! :smiling-face-with-sunglasses: ........ just go with it , it sounds good !

I was 12, clueless and had a 30 gallon tank with an under gravel filter and no AC in the house (what great memories.) lol

I Just want to use the Radion software (that I paid a lot for) to turn my lights off and on. I could use a power strip to turn them on and off (I think) but that has to be hard on the hardware.

Yah ! Great memories!! Got my first 10 gallon in 68 and thought it was probably what the kids today think about PlayStation lol !!! . I believe someone else in this thread mentioned how you can hook it up through the möbius app . Good luck !!!
