Photon App Troubleshooting

[Poseidon03]

Hey, anyone using the photon app for par calculations have trouble with the Kessils? Mine are showing about 100 PAR out of the water and right on my phone at max intensity. I have it set to the blue/white LED setting. My XR15s and XR30 are also a lot lower than expected, but not that low. It seems like it is not picking up the blue (pixel phone)

If I put it on whites, it's 600+ par. Running AB+ spectrum on echotech.

Are you getting only 100 par right at the water surface?

 

[Poseidon03]

From the photon app, yeah. I know it is a ton more than that actually.

Bump, anyone else use this app?

I know this is old byt iv just tried this app as well..same phone as OP and I'm only getting 50-60 at the water surface...more then likely due to the pixels camera...I think we need calibration...with an actual par meter. And there was me thinking I could get a ball park figure without spending a bomb

Are you using a diffuser, as instructed in the app?

I have tried both with diffuser and without neither seams to work correctly or if it is my light is 100% faulty
