Default Controlling one apex from another apex over LAN

I have a full apex at my basement sump. I have an apex jr under my tank.

Just wondering if it's possible for my full apex to control the apex jr outlets?

I would like my water sensors on my full apex to turn on a plug on the apex jr if it senses water

As far as I understand everything there is no way for 2 base units to communicate and work together/control same hardware and Apex communicates between modules over the USB not ethernet so control over LAN isn't possible

The only way you'd be able to have the full apex control the power bar for the apex jr would be to run usb cable from the full down to the power bar. At this point your apex jr control unit isn't need anymore as you're directly wired to the full apex.
