Unexpected Lights

[ZoeReef]

My VHO lights come on unexpectedly at random times. They follow the programmed schedule, but then randomly, perhaps once or twice a day (and night) they just turn on for a time, then off. Sometimes for 5 minutes, other times longer. Here's the program info, following that are two screen shots

Here's the log of the VHO light in question. I don't know what the 'unknown' state is all about. But the chiller has the same type of 'unknown' state as seen in the second image.

I also had an unusual situation this week. It would have been on the 22nd. We were working late. The VHO lights (which simulate early morning and dusk) were already on, all the other lights were off. So I turned on the center halide manually (through the controller). When I tried to manually turn off the VHO lights, they would not turn off. I tried OFF, AUTO, ON...OFF...OFF...OFF; no success, I couldn't turn them off. Just something odd.

As a whole, it's working great. This is a glitch. What do you think Curt?

Event logging unknowns occur when you don't have AquaNotes running (timer name states are only recorded while AquaNotes is running). I'm not sure what type of controller you have, but make sure that it has the latest version of the firmware. If not the latest update to the latest.
Otherwise send me an email, if you see anything else strange.

Will do Curt. I'll leave aquanotes running. Thanks for getting back with me.
