why am I getting this alarm? Seems backwards... the minimum range is 75 and the probe is reading 76.3
Tmp is less than 75.0 (76.3)
What does your alert code look like?

It just says alert when out of range. It was programmed out of the box.What does your alert code look like?
This is what Neptune support setup for me. I had to exchange mine so not sure how the preprogrammed alarm was setup. If you get an energy Bar, not sure if this is where you’d put controls to turn off an ATO or pump.I'm trying to digest this new Product Package. What I am seeing is an Entry level Apex, with Temp, PH, and 2 Float Switches to monitor water levels. You get the Apex Brain, so the sky is the limit as far as expandability. EB832's can be added, and much more. I'm guessing this is the EL Apex Brain, so you don't get Salinity and Orp?? Which could both be added by more modules down the line if needed.
So it's an even less expensive price point for people to jump into the Apex EccoSystem. I like it....'
Curious if here is a new Task coming to configure the new Float Switch Device?

I’ve seen a ton of eb8s on reef2reef and ebay. I got one for $80. Not sure how much I will be using it to control outlets for various conditions. I’m sure I’ll put my heater on it as redundant control in case it gets stuck overheating. It’s already on the BRS inkbird.I will take a bet with you that you that within a week of getting it you will be thinking about an EB8.
Then as you research it further your going to buy an EB832. I love the marketing with this deal. Just about everybody is going to spend the $500 plus, it's just that your doing it in two parts a few weeks apart.
I would never use WiFi with a controller, it just adds another layer of potential problems.Well for some reason, I was having problems staying connected to my wifi. I had a wireless bridge and connected the apex to it via ethernet and it’s been solid since. Support said my connection quality was about 87% which isn’t horrible but I guess glitchy enough and once it drops it can’t reconnect Without hitting reset.
Unfortunately, it would be a royal pain if not impossible to snake ethernet cable from the router to the tank. Or move the router with a new coax from Comcast.I would never use WiFi with a controller, it just adds another layer of potential problems.
I have had Ethernet devices plugged in for years and never had a single disconnection. With WiFi you can get sudden disconnections or other weird problems.
I agree. It took a lot of work to get a cable to my controller but it was worth it.Unfortunately, it would be a royal pain if not impossible to snake ethernet cable from the router to the tank. Or move the router with a new coax from Comcast.
The controller works fine whether it’s connected to the internet or not. The internet connection just gives you the remote monitoring capabilities.I agree. It took a lot of work to get a cable to my controller but it was worth it.

Part of my new build has me routing a cat 5 cable down through my walkout basement, and back up through the wall for the controller. Not sure which controller I'm going with get, but I prefer wired all day long.We all live in different worlds my friend. In my world my house has no one in it for at least eight hours per day. I am away from home for typically ten hours each day. If I was retired or working from home then sure it would not be an issue! In my case the ability to get reliable alerts of problems while I am at work is a huge part of why I invested in a controller.
We seem to be the same. My house is empty other than the dogs, and they cant fix crap, for up to 11 hours a day. My daughter stops in from time to time, and the controller will be there to say hey call her to have her do this for you before you get home etc. As an IT professional, i hate Wifi, and much rather have it wired.We all live in different worlds my friend.

My world isn't so different - I am frequently gone for > 24 hours; I have my controller set to automate what I can and to react appropriately as it can. Most days there is no one at home that could do anything anyway. When I had mine on wifi it would disconnect from time to time but typically come back online within a few minutes and never more than an hour later.We all live in different worlds my friend.

Just how often do you have issues that require intervention? The only time I've had anything close to a catastrophe is when we were out of town and my folks were caring for the fish and my dad forgot to plug in the float sensor cable for the skimmate jug (partially my bad for not setting up the float switch/BOB to default off if there was no switch connected.)
Saw these were discontinued on the BRS website. What’s up with that?
should be preprogrammed
Set mine up today, got pH and Temp fine on fusion but nothing about float valves...can someone help?
