Simple Parameters

Light Type

This parameter configures the type of light to generate conditions/headers for.

All lights will be set to 100% during the day and 0% at night.

Range Start | End

These two parameters control the desired start and end dates of the conditions in the conditions file.

They can be specified as a date or a datetime

If you want to use Range End, empty Duration

Range End must be chronologically after Range Start.

Duration

default: 1d

This parameter controls how long the conditions file should run for. Supplying a value for this parameter causes the Range End parameter to be ignored.

It should be specified as a duration.

Sunrise | Photoperiod

Sunrise controls the beginning of the day, specified as a time.

Photoperiod determines the length of the day, starting at Sunrise, specified as a duration.

Temperature Model

Allows you to select the model used to calculate the temperature for the day.

Temperature High | Low

Temperature High controls the day temperature, in degrees Celsius, as a float.

Temperature Low controls the night temperature, in degrees Celsius, as a float.

Precision over 2 decimal places will be rounded to 2 decimal places.

Humidity Model

Allows you to change the way that humidity is calculated. If you select Complex (Allen), Humidity High and Humidity Low have no effect.

Humidity High | Low

Humidity High controls the day/high value for humidity, as % Relative Humidity, as an integer.

Humidity Low controls the night/low value for humidity, as % Relative Humidity, as an integer.

Floating point numbers will floored to next lowest whole number. Using the Complex (Allen) Humidity Model causes both these parameters to be ignored.

Light Scaling

This parameter controls the multiplier for the daytime light values.

It can be specified as either a comma separated list of floats that will be applied on a per channel/wavelength basis or a single float that is applied to all light channels/wavelengths.

If this is a comma separated list of floats, it must match the length of the Light Types available channels/wavelengths. For a list of channel/wavelengths per light, see Lights

Types

This document contains references to multiple types of values

• duration: a length of time, specified like “1m5s” for 1 minute and 5 seconds. Does not support fractional values like “1.5m”. Supported unit prefixes are w,d,h,m,s for week, day, hour, minute, second respectively.

• date ISO8601 date format. example: 2021-07-16 for July 16th, 2021

• datetime ISO8601 datetime format. example: 2021-07-16T10:31:12 for July 16th, 2021 10:31:12 am.

• time a date naive time, does not support military time (“1800”). example: “6pm”, “18:00”.

• float a base 10 number with a decimal point. example: “10.82”

• integer a base 10 number without a decimal point. example: “14”
