You mean, you couldn't wait three months? Come on now, don't you think you're being a little impatient?
I think the unit needs to be ventilated. It probably gets hot.
Danny, what lights do you use? Wondering if I can take advantage of the 0-10v also.I control the lights with 0-10v outputs 6 to be exact. Then I setup a schedule and I use the latitude light mode so they come around sunrise and go off around sunset. The light gradually increases to max then slowly decreases till off. The 2 screenshots of the schedule are below. It was too long to fit on one screen but on the iPad you can scroll up and down to the different settings in the schedule. I did also select El Salvador for the location since it is in the central time zone and keep daylight savings time from changing the schedule an hour. That also keeps all the other timers on their original non daylight times.
I have DIY lighting so it was no issue for me. Any lighting that has 0-10v control inputs can be controlled using the 0-10v outputs with the proper cables. You would need one of the Hydros controllers with 0-10v outputs to do this.
I have the Kessil wifi dongle on my a500x and it works flawlessly. I think most of the reported problems with it are from the non tech-savvy struggling with their wifi and blaming it on the dongle.
You have it in text mode instead of tile mode. Here is my hex tank page on my Hydros collective.It took four screenshots to get the whole page. I do control my 2 MP10's and my Sicce SDC3.0 return pump with my Hydros. The MP10's are controlled with my WEv2 with the RF module from my ReefLink installed in the WEv2. They have to be pre Mobuis pumps though. At the time of the screenshot my daytime lighting was off and only the refugium lighting was on.I have been using both on ,y tank for the past few weeks. I wish that ecotech and a few other products would work with Hydros, specifically vortech pumps. The apex fusion dashboard is a lot nicer and cleaner. Although I can see how the actual programming may be easier on Hydros. Running pump modes and scheduled on apex is also a much nicer layout, and way more simple to adjust and understand (not that hydros is bad but apex has it beat in that department for sure). I do however feel from looking at and touching the hydros products that they are built of way better quality. The add on modules are a lot cheaper and the barrier of entry seems to cost less. In addition the wifi plugs and strips are a game changer. I run my RODO outside. There's no way that I want to run an Aquarius cable to it. With the hydros a random outlet does the trick, thats huge! I have been having major problems with the IV tester, it's been two weeks and I spent so much money trying to get it to work. I am already on my 3rd bottle of reagent. I will mention that the customer care is the best that I have ever dealt with on any product. Other than that everything is fine. See below for a comparison of both dashboards. Yes, I can program both, but we're in 2024. The hydros looks like Visual Basic or C++ which I learned in school 25 years ago lol. This is similar to what Apex once looked like though before fusion when we would connect to our local network to access it. Another thing to mention is that the Hydros wireless connection is solid, apex constantly gives me issues.
The wave engine lite cannot control the MP series pumps but the WEv2 can by adding the RF module to it which I did. I don't have the older wave engine, but you are right the newer pumps will not work with the WEv2 since they cannot be downgraded from Mobius.
Thanks for the image links.Neptune really ticked me off with their MXM module. I realized that sync and anti sync aren't yet available for ecotech+apex.
