Anyone an expert on setting the Kessil controller?

I can not for the life of me set my lights to go off past midnight, if I set the off time past 12 midnight all the settings are lost, I work a weird shift so need the lights to turn off after midnight so I can feed the tank before lights out, anyone know if this is possible, and if so please tell.

Sorry bud, just make sure your last set point that color and intensity are both zero.

Tried that too, all settings are lost...I programmed 5pm 30% on both settings, then at 1am both settings to 0, all settings lost, but if I program 5pm-11.59pm it works, seems once I go past midnight it becomes an issue?

I haven't tried to check if I can do this, plus I am at my parent's house right now, so I can't access my tank and lights anyway. But what about seeing if it will let you change the time zone?

Might work, I’ll give that a try...now where would I like to pretend to live!

Thanks, think that might work, there wasn’t a setting to change the zone but I’ve moved the clock 2 hours earlier so when it’s 5pm the controller thinks it’s 3pm, here’s hoping it works, if not the poor fish will think it’s a total eclipse tonight!

Can you begin the program at 12:00 AM with the lights on at the % you want and end the program at 11:59 PM with the lights still on? It should roll over to the next day at 12:00 AM and keep the lights on.

don’t think that would work as I think you need to have the lady setting at 0, I might be able to get it to work if I ended the program at 1159 then turn it back on after midnight but I don want the lights to flick on and off.
