    So I am getting my new Apex in the mail this week, I was wondering if anyone has any tips/tricks on setup and how to use the VDM portion with Rapids Meanwell Drivers.

    And has anyone used their Apex unit on their iPhone/iPad/iPod?


    Here is the unit I ordered:
    Neptune Systems - AquaControllers - AquaController Apex System


    Thanks
    Chris

    Settup is a breeze IMO. However, I had an aquacontroller before. And pretty similiar. I just struggled with the wifi setting. still sorta am figuring that out with the email and text alerts.

    Shoot me a message with your equipment list and I will help you with programming. Once the initial set up is done it is pretty easy.

    Aquanotes, yes... It works like a charm, However thats My issue right now. I just need to figure out how to make it work when Im NOT on my home network. When Im at home works fine. However when Im not on that WIFI signal from the house. It doesnt. (I have something messed up Im sure) I have just been a tad lazy at the moment and dealing with other things to be concerned at this point about that option.
