For a long time, I've had to go into the Mobius app to reset the current time whenever the lights turn back on via Apex. I have the power turned off when the lights are going off then the power would come back on once it's time to start the lights on process. The problem I'm having is that whenever the power is back on the Radions, the light fixture thinks it's at the time when the light power was turned off so I have go into the Mobius app to reset the current time in order to get the lights turned on. I've been doing this with my G4 pro and suddenly my G5 blues are doing the same thing. I've never had this problem with Reeflink. I've tried doing the factory reset then redoing everything and even called the Ecotech helpline, however, they said that there is nothing that could be done unless you keep the power on the entire time. I disagree because it was working fine for a long time. The G4 pro fan does not turn off when the light schedule turns off. This is why I like to turn off the power whenever the fixture is not being used. The only solution I can think of is going back to Reeflink (not sure if RL is compatible with G5 blue) but don't want to go through the hassle. Has anyone else experienced this and know how to fix? Thanks

Knock on e-wood but I’ve never had issues with the clock issue from G4 Pros to G6 Blues. I always leave my lights “on” 24/7, even during ramp down. Yes, the fan will keep on running but no big deal, just a few watts.

Have you tried that? Just keep it “running” 24/7? Clock shouldn’t skew…

NOTE I'm not using an MXM Module. But for my G6s I have the Apex Fusion settings switch to ON. I do the actual color and intensity programming - set and forget— settings in Mobius. And the lights are basically turned off by mobius.

I've had one of my fans burn out once, this is why I always shut them off whenever they're not being used. I guess I'll just keep resting it. Thanks tho

My other G6s’ fans run constantly - no issues for the last 4+ years. Replacing the fan is cheap vs turning the device off/on, which might even worse IMO.
