Have you ever wish to have more control on when Trident do its tests? It's not obvious from Fusion UI, but it's actually possible.
Trident is simply controlled as couple outputs like other Apex output. It's only a matter of finding those output, then you can program it however you like the same as programming a light. These need to be done on a browser, not in the phone app.
First need to determine the Trident's module number. Go to the Modules page. For me, it's 6.
Then go to edit any outlet of a power bar, you will get to the Output Configuration page, with URLof something like
https://apexfusion.com/apex/<id>/config/outputs/2_1. (Local Apex works too, don't have to be fusion)
The last part is <Module>_<Outlet Number>. For Trident, the combine test, is the 3 output. The alk test is the 4 output. So for example, when I go to
https://apexfusion.com/apex/<id>/config/outputs/6_3, it is the one that control combine test. You will see some OSC code there, reflecting your selected schedule. Now simply change it using normal Apex code, just turn on that output for 1 minute to kick off the test. This is what I have.
That's it, pretty straightforward. For example, to have alk tested twice a day, ca and mg tested for once a day, you will turn on Trident test once, which test all three, including alk. Then turn on alk one more time later to test for the second time.
I found the most useful time for the test is once right before the lights are on, and once after the lights are off. They're usually the highest and lowest point of alkalinity if dosing is constant 24/7.
BTW, I think it goes without saying, I have no idea any implication might cause from this, so
use at your own risk.
