Fluval Plant 4.0 and 3.0 power on/off behavior

[Schrute66]

If I have a Fluval Plant 4.0 Nano or 3.0 Nano in Auto or Pro mode, then kill the power to the device while the light is scheduled to be on, and then restore the power, the light does not turn back on unless I return to the app and select the light. However, if the light is turned on in manual mode and I then turn the power off and back on, the light will come back on. It seems like the schedule state is volatile and not permanently stored in the light but rather in the app, while a manual powered on state is remembered in the device. Anyone know if this is the expected behavior?

It turns out that what's happening is that the light does retain its most recently loaded schedule but according to Fluval support, when power cycled the light's internal clock resets. So, it doesn't know what time it is until it communicates with the app again :-/
