Hello

How does your lighting profiles look like? The only affect the sensor apache sim has is on dimming, if you are using dimming profiles.

-Make a profile in AP profile
For the time of use: ramp(e1,0,1,200,0) if 200 lux is the lux needed in the room.
Put it in the internal gains as a dimming profile.

I havent used this much, so im not 100 % sure about the profile, so Phil could probably tell some more about it.

In the type: Florescent lighting there is an option for dimming to the right, right below variation profile for your lighting.

Hey

Sorry for the late answer, only at work once a week. Yes the entire line with ramp should be inserted in AP profile and then use it as a profile.

Section 12 of the APPro User Guide covers formula profiles, you can access all the user guides from the Help menu in VE.
