GloBrite Color Changing lights

[orrious]

Hi folks. I have 3 GloBrite color changing lights. They are each connected to their own circuit. Is it possible to adjust the on-off frequency for switching color modes? I believe I need to increase the time between on-off, ie reduce frequency, as my lights turn off during color change, but come back to the same color it was prior to change.

I assume you have these hooked to either a REM relay or GPIO. If you do there is an On and Off delay to add time to the sequence when you define the relay. The same is true for GPIO.

I've tried them as GloBrite and Intellibrite, both have the same result.

The first pulse turns the light off. It has to do this because Pentair lights start their sequence from off. That is the difference for the first pulse. If you select a theme the sequence will appear in the njsPC log.

Btw are you switching the low voltage side of the transformer? There have been several folks that have this working. Something has to be odd about this.

Both sides of the transformer are switched with SSR. The mains side (HV) comes on at dusk and off at 2am. All my other landscape lights also use this transformer for 12vac. The Globrites each have their own SSR as well. This setup has been working for years for me with my own board. Also, I've never differentiated the first pulse, neither on my board nor manually testing just by turning the light on and off manually. I believe the issue is the timing of that first pulse. Is it possible to make all the pulse on/off times exactly the same?

The first command to the light is not necessarily a pulse. It is setting up the light controller to start accepting commands. It needs to be a bit longer (~1s if the light is off already and ~2s if the light is currently on). Is it possible that your dual relay has the main relay off when it is pulsing the other relay?
