Do you "see" all the outlets on the fusion screen? Lots of people can help you get it set up here on R2R. Can you post a shot of your fusion screen?
This is what I got. It'll only let me add outlets on the controller but other than that I'm lost I played with it for 2 days. Watched videos and read almost everything I could. I'm quite computer savvy so I have no clue what's going on.
Click on the lock icon top right corner, you should be able to see the rest of the outlets.
Your temp and PH readings seem low too, are probes in tank/sump?
A good starting point might be to reset the whole unit and to do fusion setup one more time, you are very likely still running the settings from the previous owner.

Yes...all your outlets are "hidden". The little lock symbol icon will show all your outlets in a new window. Use a mouse to drag them down onto the main fusion screen. Then click the lock icon again to keep them where you moved them to.
Now you can click on each outlet and try some experimental programming.
The screenshot helped a lot. If you could send another screenshot after you have dragged your outlets on to the main screen, it will help with the next steps

Go into the unit through IP, update all modules, then reset it.

What power strip are you using. 4 or 8 outlets? If you are not seeing any of the outlets in the top of the unlock screen the apex controller is
Not communicating with the powerstrip. Check your connections. Have you tried rebooting with the powerstrip plugged into the controller?

This is what it shows will not school left or rite
Ok...that is a bit weird. It is not showing your outlets at all. I assume your eb8 or eb4 is plugged into a power outlet, the breaker in the eb8 is not trpiped, and you have a good connection with the cable between the eb8 and the apex "brain"?
Can you try plugging the cable between the apex brain and the eb8 into a different port on the eb8, and then power down, and repower everything back up and see if it finds your outlet bar?

Any USB cable seems to work. It's the long ones with a repeating circuit that won't
