So I'm switching from Apex to Hydros and have them powered on, on the kitchen island. Programing things in advance so I can more easily make the swap.

After 12hrs it seems like the X10 and XP8 both go in to sleep mode or something. Most of the lights go out. Is this normal? I certainly do not want to tear out my current setup and have this thing go to sleep 12 hrs later :o

Thanks!
 
What time settings do you have for the lights? Left menu then select options. My LED on time is set to 8:00:00 and the LED off time is set to 20:00:00.

I did not know that was a thing, TY. 0800 - 2200. Certainly the default as I haven't touched it.

Lots more to still learn here.

That is to allow most LED lights to be off during night hours. Also in that same options menu there is a way to enable emergency mode and add an emergency password. This allows limited access if the internet is down.
