    Dual EB8s, two circuits, detect power loss on one EB8

    I'm getting a second EB8 (should show up today or tomorrow). I have two circuits going to my fish tank and would like to put each EB8 on a separate power circuit. I have a couple questions:

    1. If one of the circuits loses power, I'm assuming the Apex will retain power from the other circuit (in other words, as long as one of the EB8's has power, it will stay on)?
    2. Using this setup, I should be able to setup an alert if the power is lost to one of the EB8's, correct? I have lost power on a circuit previously from a device shorting out and would like to know if power is lost to one of the circuits.

    Thanks!

    Bob

    Yes, the Apex will keep running even if one of the EBs loses power. You can use the If Power EB_# command to trigger an email alert. See the Comprehensive Reference Manual for the full syntax of If Power
    Please do not send me PMs with technical questions or requesting assistance - use the forums for Apex help. PM me ONLY if the matter is of a private or personal nature. Thanks.
