Who uses seasonal temperature and sunlight settings?

I use both the seasonal sunlight and temperature settings.

I like the sunlight settings since I prefer having sunlight coming into the room before the lights turn on so that they're not turning on while the fish are sleeping.

I use setback thermostats during the day at home, so the house gets cooler during the winter and warmer during the summer. So the 5.5 degree swing in temperature means the chiller does less work during the summer and the heaters do less work during the winter.

My moonlight LEDs are not intensity controllable and I also haven't used the seasonal settings for controlling the on/off times of the moonlights.

So I'm just wondering whether people use the seasonal adjustments and why you do or don't?

I do not use them.
I get up at the same time everyday and like to have the lights on to see the tank in the morning.

I use the seasonal features for temp, lights, and moon. I delay the sunrise for 2 hours to roughly match my viewing time, and I raise the temp up a degree or two since the seasonal temps in the table are a bit on the low side.
