Intensity vs. brightness

[brianmsu80]

My phone app has a UV slider. But no yellow slider for G3Pro.

My phone app has a UV slider. But no yellow slider for G3Pro.

I think yellow is with the red channel or another channel. Not on its own if I remember right.

So if I have my blues, and uv at 100% at 3pm
Reds greens and whites at 30%

Overall brightness at 50%

Then my blues and uv are really running at 50% and my red white and green at 15%?

For my simple brain This sounds correct :hmm5:

So when the weather shows 35% is that the total intensity of the light? I also have mines et like yours at 50% brightness! and again it only shows like 35% under the sun icon at peak time...

Thanks for your help,and sorry if they seem dumb questions

I thought weather at 35% was that there was a 35% chance of a weather occurrence, not that the lights operate at 35% strength.

Now that's a interesting thought. However, I think it's the brightness of the light. See attached

Sorry larger

If not....if weather was set at 0% then at peak your lights would be off? Or if you set it at 1% they would almost be off? I think it's the % chance of occurrence, not intensity.

 

[Twostepper4041]

No way... Right now it says 5% and my lights are barely on

 

[cali9dub]

Ummm. Isn't it night time? Or are you at your peak right now?

 

[cali9dub]

And do you have weather set for 10pm? What am I missing about this weather % question ??

 

[erndog1001]

Any weather % means that's the chance of weather happening. Just like your daily forecast.
I.E.
If you have a point set at 10 am and your lights are set to 60% brightness/intensity with a 50% chance of weather.
Between that point and the next you have a 50% of some kind of weather event. But your light(s) stay at 60% when nothing is happening.
Somebody from EcoTech correct me if I'm wrong here

It's storm and cloud probability that you can set, not weather. On the app it sort of shows it like the weather.
In this pic you can see that it's ramping up and at 4 it's at 50 %. That's because all color channels are at 100% and the overall is 50%. ThTs just the brightness, nothing to do with weather.

Question should I have any points set at 100 percent brightness ?

I wouldn't.

Now I'm a little confused. Here is a screen shot of my setup at highest point of intensity.

Screen Shot 2014-07-25 at 9.29.49 AM by jporter515, on Flickr

Assumptions:
1. Total intensity will be 70%
2. Of that 70%:
UV = 75% of 70% total power
Blue = 100% actually total power is 70%?
RB = 100% actually total power is 70%?
White = 35% of 70% total power
Green = 20% of 70% total power
Red = 20% of 70% total power
204Watts - Is that per Radion, or total of all them?

Very confusing. I really wish someone from Ecotech would answer this. If it's already been answered in another thread I missed it. Thanks for any help. JP

I know this is a old thread but has anyone figured it out yet?

figured what out?

 

[Vinno]

What is the brightness slider in each point then the intense value you get.
If I were to get module to connect to apex, do I need the brightness or intense values to carry over?

 

[Reefable]

Here is my confusing question...My graph has intensity set at 70% (The Orange Bar). Now when i point my cursor on any given point for e.g. my program is at peak from 12.30pm to 4.30pm with Violet, Dark Blue, Light blue all at 100% and White, Green and Red at 24% however when i point my cursor on the point at 12.30pm on the schedule i see intensity 45%...So is my program running at 45% intensity at the peak or is it running 70% ???

 

[Reefable]

anyone? sorry just trying to understand if i am doing anything wrong?
