Is there a way to make my light work with apex unit? If so what do I need to do I want my apex to control the whole light not the program that is built into this light. Thank you

As far as I can tell, there is no capability to bypass the builtin controller. So you are limited to ON/OFF Control with the Apex.
You might pose your question to Reefbreeders to see if it is possible to modify the fixture to accept a 0-10 volt control signal.
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.
Thank you
This thread 4 years old now. Has anything changed? i.e. is there a way yet to control the pump with APEX?
A little less than a year ago I spent a significant amount of time deciding what to do for lights over a new tank.
I looked into the photon led fixtures at the time and apex control or any third party control wasn't supported. There also didn't seem to be any interest in adding support for it.
It has been almost a year so things could have changed...
I just purchased the interface and I am having trouble with it. When I plug the cables in I cannot find the light to perform the sequence. anyone here hook up the photon to the apex that can help?

Do you have the light and if so did you have any luck with the setup?
The Photon does not appear in the Apex dashboard. The Apex is not aware of it.
You use the Apex’s built in variable (aka 0-10v) outputs (all 4 of them) or the 4 variable outputs of a VDM to control the light’s color channels.
Although this sticky post is about another lighting fixture, it contains info about identifying the variable/0-10v outputs. https://forum.neptunesystems.com/sho...s-With-An-Apex
