    What do I Do when I run out of plugs on my energy bar 8?

    Do I just pick up another energy bar 8? Where does it plug into? How does it connect? And if I'm understanding this right, this is simple an additional 8 controllable plugs just like the original EB8 that came with my original purchase, right?

    Yes, buy another and connect it with the normal apex connection cable like it’s a module

    Yep, it will be just like the EB8 that came with your unit. You obviously need to plug it into a wall outlet. Then use the aquabus cable to connect it to another module. Doesn't matter which one, the original EB8 have 4 aquabus connections

    Just be sure that you plug it into a separate wall circuit from the original. Each EB8 is rated at 15A, and most home circuits have 15A breakers. This would also be a good time to add a UPS for backup power.
