The problem is the outlet of the switch is on although the surge protector is crap out so this detecting the outlet wont work

dont have it only email you when its off - figure out how much each light draws so in case the ballast blew on light and only two were on the lower amp draw would trigger an alert so you could trouble shoot.

Hmm, this is what i am after, I am wondering if there is such thing for Apex. Just do a search on reefcentral and this feature is not available :-(
