HELP Please - Noopsyche K7 pro II stopping schedule 1am and 1pm

[GuppyHJD]

Hello,
I changed the time on the Noopsyche controller for my Noopsyche K7 Pro II lights due to daylight savings time. NOW the lights are shifting from the automatic / schedule mode back to the "manual" mode twice a day - 1am and 1pm.
I am going to be away from the tank and am afraid the lights will change to "manual" mode and then stay at that setting for days 24/7.

1) What will happen if I run the lights at say 40% for 24hrs at day for two weeks?

2) Does anyone know what the settings error is that is causing the problem?

THANK YOU

I saw people having this problem with the V3 wifi version but I have never seen this issue with any of my V2.

have you tried to reset the controller?

I am not sure how to reset the controller? I did try with a paperclip but I cannot tell if it worked.

I also reset both lights.
Then transmitted to both lights.
The schedule does not match what I would use but I am leaving it alone until 1am to see if the light stays on schedule or goes into manual mode.

90 minutes and we will know if moving the controller into a different room solved the problem.
Are there any program/schedule tips? guidelines?
I seem to recall
1) both time slot 1 and 7 much be all zeros
2) the time between any two slots must be an hour or more
3) ???

WE made it past the 1pm normal failure point. Fingers crossed.
Since the light is running the default schedule/program, do you think it is safe to change the colors or should I just settle for this schedule for a few weeks?

Were you leaving the controller plugged in?

Yes, even moved to the other room, it is plugged in. If I leave it unplugged would it not run out of battery?

Yes but the controller doesn't have to stay running for the lights to run on schedule. I only plug mine in when I need to change the programming.

Mine WAS in the electrical side of my stand, and was plugged in all the time. NOW it is in my home office, plugged in.

There is no reason to keep it plugged in.
