So here I am finally......The good is I am up and running the APEX with the lights and vortech connected.
The bad is, I spent uber hours trying to figure out how to configure the dashboard and how to make everything turn on. I could see the stuff just could not get things to work. Alot of trial and mostly error and a ton of frustration. I read a ton of material and even sought help in the apex forum. Whats disappointing is most people assume its all technology related and not something truly simple.
Well here is the laymens term for those that have a new apex and ecotech equipment. NOTE: I could not find this simple advice anywhere on the net, know matter how hard I tried.
Your outlets (EB8) are numbered, once your apex finds the ecotech stuff you are going to see numbers 1-8 for outlets and you will also see the names of your vortech equipment. ALL you have to do on the main dashboard page is make sure your outlets (1,2,3 and 5) in my case, are all set to on. Then your ID'd vortech equipment on the dshaboard you
also turn to on, your stuff comes on then you can slide your bar to auto.
Once you have done this you can go into the APEX wizard and play with your stuff.
I cannot tell you how &#^%$ off I was trying to figure this concept out and stumbled upon the solution by luck, I had things really messed up. I knew what needed to be done just didn"t know how to do it.
SO! I am GTG, I can set up my light and vortech schedule, looks easy as pie after the crap I just went through.
The rocks are getting some brown and I see some fuzzy stuff
.
Have a good weekend and thanks for looking
