I'm not sure if this is a Varia or Edge 1030 Light Network feature request, but I'm thinking the latter.
I have an RTL510 & in the light Network Options on the Edge 1030, the Light Beam Activated setting consists of Timer Start & Device Power Up. How about also having a Manual Mode. That way the light doesn't automatically turn on but I can have the Light Mode set to Individual and then manually control the light via the Widget.
There is a Tail Light CIQ datafield which has a setting to override the Timer Start & Device Power Up modes and turn the light off when starting an activity, but it would be great if the setting was native to the light network
