    You have to set up a dyndns address to track your ip address then use that instead of your ip

    Can I do a complete setup via my iPhone? Also can I enable FEED mode when on the go? I want to make my tank as easy as possible when on the go.

    the iPhone app is limited as to what can be done threw it , its not like signing into your computer to set all outlets up. once its all set up you can turn things off and on threw the iPhone app, you can use the feed mode threw i phone app.
    you can view the graphs on the app also ... oh and view what your probe readings are

    redgamit, i think your problem maybe you need to set a gateway in your router for the access to the apex

    Awesome! I am okay using a computer to do the initial setup and my iPhone to see probe status and enable FEED mode.

    Now I wish I could find someone that has used the Apex VDM module.

    redgamit the fact that you have access on your app to your apex while at home says its a router gateway problem, dyndns is a good idea to add, but its not needed to make the app work.

    routers are set to not allow access into your network, you have to go into the router and allow access to what ever the ip address of the apex is
