    Cannot get Energy Bar to Control Heater

    Im having trouble getting my Energy Bar up and running.
    I've had the APEX system itself running for 6months with the usual probes 2xTEMP, PH, ORP, Salinity etc.... I have the powerbar connected but have not used it for anything until now.

    I want to get the heater running first so thought i'd connect a light to the channel I'm planning to sue so i can confirm visually that it was working as desired based on temp before connecting the actual heater.

    However what ive found is it does not matter what temp the water is the light (replicating heater) just stays on. I tried the simple way and then studied up the more advanced way using code but neither seem to matter its like its jammed on. Any suggestions?

    Screen shot below of the current configuration.

    I would start by using the advanced programming instead of the wizard and then posting that code here...

    You have the outlet set to 'auto', and not 'on' right?

    Ok found the issue.
    Seems the outlet is incorrectly labeled so the numbers didn't match
    I had device in outlet number 1.
    I was controlling the outlet labeled number 1, however by manually switching on and off all the outlets i found out for some reason the outlet labeled number 3 is actually outlet number 1 on the board.

    Anyway seems to be ok now.

    Please post a screen shot of the Outputs page which shows all 6 EB6 outlets, and in that post, identify by name the one you say is actually controlling physical outlet #1
    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.
