Light Dimming FLAG Help

[phenix]

Hi Everyone.

I'm having a mental block with programing a Light Dimming Flag. What I'm trying to accomplish is to create a flag that will dim the lights according to the time day. Example: light would be brighter during the day and as night fall the lights dim accordingly down to a specific setting. (For those frequent late night tips to the head.)

Thanks

Unless I am missing something, I think you won't get many responses, as your post doesn't include the software you are using, etc.

Oh Man I must be losing it. I swear I put that in the post. I have an OmniproII running 3.0 with pcaccess. I presume Flags are fairly similar across most programs. I would love to have some sort of sensor outside that could send a value to the panel based on available light. But I figure it would probably be easier to do some creative FLAG programming. Something base on time most likely. I'm looking for how others have tackled this problem.

I never heard of the flag wording in that contest, so it must be a HAI thing. A similar topic was started recently. If the HAI panel supports analog inputs, you should be able to do this with the CdS photocells.
