Controlling Hydra 26 hd and Hydra 26 non hd together

[Dbasileccim]

I have two Hydra 26 hd and just purchased a used Hydra 26 non hd. I was surprised to learn that I needed a controller and a Director to control the non hd version. Of course, the non hd light did not include a director or a controller.

My question is what is the best way (most economical and easiest) to control both the Non hd and the Hd lights at the same time. I know I can use the MYAi iphone app to control the hd lights. If I buy a director will I be able to us the MYai app for the non hd light also?

Can I use the non hd version as a daughter or a slave to the HD lights with or without a director?

I also think I have learned that I can control the non hd version with an apex module but not the hd versions... is that true?

I would really appreciate someone pointing me in the correct direction on this.

Thanks,

Just guessing, if you have a controller that would be one way. Other wise is would not know. Lets see if we can get some help for you.

Probably have fewer headaches to run all 3 separate. Set the HDs up as parents with MYAI, then the non HD not sure . If you have an APEX and it is compatible ....
