I have an Apex 2016 and a XR15 on my frag section in my sump. I got everything connected and i created a program for the light as i want it to work. What I noticed is that the light can either work in the preset program or on 100 if the switch is turned to manually on. I would like to have a Virtual switch that I can do on the APEX that will turn the light to a preset setting (all Blue channels at 100%) and another virtual switch that would turn the light to a 14k spectrum. This would be regardless of the schedule. I have the frag area lit during the night to stabilize ph but there are times that I want to see in the frag area and view it in blue and in 14k light that is opposite the normal light schedule.

Does any one have a work around or way to do this?

My display light is metal halide and DIY LEDs so I haven't had to venture into this programmable light arena!
 
Yes, I described how to do this in my tutorial on Apex Lunar Schedules and Lighting Profiles: https://www.reef2reef.com/ams/neptu...ion-lunar-schedule-and-lighting-profiles.717/

In a nutshell, create a Radion profile containing the color settings you want, then either use a virtual output or a Feed mode timer to apply the settings in the Advanced tab of the Radion output which will override the normal schedule:

If Output BlueLights = ON Then ProfileName

- or-

If FeedD 000 Then ProfileName
