Yes the Apex has Fallback statements that can be set for every outlet incase the power bar loses contact with the base unit. So that is all fine and dandy unless a problem happens with the power bar and not the base unit... or if anyone is using a DC8 (from the old AquaControllers) on their Apex.

If the problem occurs at the power bar that should trigger an error at the base unit and therefore trigger an alarm or notification. Obviously there is no full proof solution but having a controller with these safety features seems much more reliable than the alternative.
