    Monitoring EB8 power draw on Apex Fusion

    Hi

    I recently bought an Apex 2016 with EB832, and love the power monitoring aspect of it. I added an EB8 to the system, as I was short of a few 120V outlets, (perhaps naively) expecting to be able to monitor the power draw on each of it's each sockets, but can't figure out how to do that in Apex Fusion.

    Is it possible? Or will I need to swap my EB8 for an EB832. I can't even find a way to visually monitor the total power draw across all sockets on the EB8.

    Any help much appreciated.

    (PS I really did try very hard to read all the manuals, and scour the forms for answers before posting this question - please forgive me if I've overlooked anything obvious).

    Only the EB832 has per-outlet amps/watts monitoring. The older EnergyBar 8 & EB4 only have an Amps sensor which shows the total load on the EB. It will be named Amps_# where # is the Aquabus address of the EnergyBar. If you do not see the Amps_# tile on the APEX Fusion dashboard, look in the hidden tiles areas.
    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.

    Thanks Russ. Silly me. I think I'll swap out the EB8 for an EB832. I'm totally hooked on the power monitoring aspect. Trying to run my whole house on solar :-)
