    Will the breakout box work with the EB8

    Got a new Energy Bar 8. Can I use my breakout box to work with that?

    How do you mean? The BoB interfaces with the Apex base and is used to read the status of switches. From there the status can be used to control the various outlets.

    In addition to the Apex Base, I have added the Neptune energy bar 8 for additional outlets. I ran out of outlets on my base unit. I was curious if the BOB will work with those EB8 outlets as well.

    What do you mean by work with? The breakout box is for status input of floats and switches. It's not used to control anything, but you can utilize the switch status within your programming of any outlet real or virtual.

    I want to add a magnetic switch to my BOB so a light turns on when I open my cabnet. If I plug that light in my EB8, can I program the light to accept the BOB code for the magnetic switch.

    Yes. You can apply switch statuses to the code of any outlet.
