What modules are you looking to setup.

I think the most basic thing to setup is just the temp and maybe lighting timers if you have those kinds of lights.

Let us know what you're hooking up and we can offer some tips.

I did a lot of research when getting my controller and the Apex is by far the most widely supported and used aquarium controller. Lots of help.

Thanks guys, i have the basics figured out sort of. Iv managed to get my heater and chiller going off the apex. The problem im having right now is lighting. I am able to turn the light on and off with the apex but when i type in the times to turn on and off it doesnt come on. Another issue im having is actually controlling anything when im away from my house. I seem to be able to view the temp and amps from chiller and ph from my fusion but if i actually want to change something or even turn on the light manually instead of with timer it keeps giving me error messages (attatched below) So without fusion how can you control the apex when you are away from the unit? I have the apex app and it works great when im at home and when im not it doesnt connect. Any advise would be appreciated.

This is what I got any time i tried to change anything on your apex nick guessing it's to do with being on internet not your wifi. But really no idea

Do I have to buy the wireless module for my apex to be able to access it remotely?? If so that seems kinda dumb.

No, it should just work. Using Fusion, it just connected for me, not even sure what settings to look at. Ultimately you probably need to configure your router to get it working, not the Apex itself.

I also think it's something to do with the telus router

Thanks for all the replies guys. Mike ended up helping me solve the problem. Turns out I had control turned off on the controller. So now I am able to control everything through fusion! Thanks for all the help.

So my next question. Not really thinking, I decided to set up my apex just half **sed and now I'm wondering, if I unplug it to move it all how I want it, am I going to have to go through all the same hassle to re set it up, or will it remember everything and it just carries on how it was?

It will retain all the settings. If you plug something into a different outlet, you'll need to move the code for that outlet.
