AP9X with APEX

[chrisjj625]

Has anyone got this to work? If so, mind posting some information? I saw the updates came out today to make these two compatible, but I can't for the life of me figure it out. I looked on both company websites for info and came up with nothing. I am admittedly not an APEX expert. Thus, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Apex support for Kessil is in Beta and not yet released.

 

[chrisjj625]

Thanks for the reply. Pretty sure it was released today based on the app update notes. Unless they just released the beta today.

I have not seen the instructions, but you have to update both apex and the kessil app. Also both apex and kessil have to be on the same WiFi.

 

[chrisjj625]

Yep I have all of that done and still not understanding how to get them talking together.

You may have to enable IOTA in the kessil app, then go into fusion and use the IOTA task. (That is how the SICCE IOTA integrate worked)

I saw that, but don’t see the option in Kessil

Why not just use the native app for the light? Just curious.

1. I’m a nerd
2. Just want to check it out

We had the same discussions a year ago

At the end of the day, we build lights to help people have success in their reef aquariums. If someone wants to control it through Fusion opposed to the native app, and it's something we can support, then we'll go ahead and provide it.

One of the many reasons I love Kessil, customers do matter and have a voice. Well done!
