Guidance with what to plug where...overall Apex Setup.

[allaboutmojo]

After using Apex for 9 months and been adding different modules so now its about time I re-run wires, etc to outside cabinet instead of inside. I am also ready to order 2-DOS dosers and just trying to map out everything to see if need to order any other modules and avoid a 2nd Energy Bar. Here is setup...what can I teak/improve? Also, the empty slots...what can I use them for? Appreciate your help/input.

(Note: I have another light on manual timer I would like to control through energy bar if can make another spot or just buy another Bar? I would put both FMM"s on splitter to share power)

I don't have an Apex so I can't offer much specific guidance. I can say be careful if your power goes out. All that equipment plugged into the UPS could drain it pretty quickly. Depends on the size of the UPS.

Actually, the Apex can control what stays on through the Energy Bar....so when power goes out, only 1 Wav operates as an example.
