That's a bit different than what I have set up. Currently there is morning, midday, evening, and night "points". You set the time that each point starts, the level of each channel, and the ramp time:
How do you feel about that?

Perhaps an increase of a few percent per day or something.

I think that's a useful feature worth adding.

Totally. You can accomplish this with the Scenes feature.

I have my LEDs setup so one row of blues come on first, then 2nd row blues, then 1st row whites followed by 2nd set of whites. Red & greens come on later in the morning followed by the high noon kit of white. I would like to add some true UV as I have an extra driver. The acclimation feature would be pretty unique as well.

The special lighting features will be covered. What do you think about the day-to-day stuff though? Do you think you'd be happy with our current settings?
