Regarding the setup of light modes in 6.3 just want to lay out what I did here to make sure it's correct and have a thread to ask question in about setting up light modes.
I have 7 channels of LED controls with each channel controlled by 1 pin of a PCA9685. Configured the PCA9685 pins as lights and assigned a name to remind me what channel is what color.
I went into light modes and clicked on each available light port from the PCA to add a mode like the directions at the bottom of the page say.
To test I created 5 modes throughout the day at various levels as shown below

My understanding is that in my example the Royal Blue light will be off from 11:00PM until 11:00AM the next day and then with be on at level 100. At 1:00PM, it will increase in brightness to 200 and stay there until 4:00PM, where it will increase to 400 and then at 8:00PM it will decrease to 300 and go to zero at 11:00PM again.
Is this correct? What's weird to me is that as I am adjusting the sliders for those modes throughout the day, the light is adjusting as well. Is this because when I move the slider it goes into some sort of "manual mode"?
If so, how do I get it to resume the schedule? Go to Homepage and hit the resume button?
Thanks for the help.
