Will the apex work with old DC-8's?

I think the current king of the high-tech controller mountain is about to be de-throned.

Who is the king of high tech controllers?....I thought it already was Neptune.

What I want to know if the new web server features will be available to the AC3 via a firmware update.

Yes, the Apex controller will control the old X10 based devices.

RSL,XLM and the ability to do all the net setup via a browser.

The DC-8's are X-10 based?

What about the Ecotech Vortech support did anyone ask?

 

[ah30k]

I saw blog entries about another controller bickering with the Vortech maker about access to proprietary control interfaces. I forget which controller I read that about but it may explain the lack of any current controller being able to manage the Vortechs.

Hmmm....having just purchased an AC3 in February, I wonder if Neptune Sys will offer new owners an opportunity to upgrade for a discount? Curt?

I guess you mean RSS and XML. I wonder if there will be two forms -- a separate RSS feed and another XML feed format. RSS is actually in XML format.

Any info if it will also dish out data in JSON format?

Thanks.

Yes... I saw both. I didn't have a chance to thoroughly examine the raw structure of each, but at first glance it appeared to be well-formed.

I can't wait to get a chance to work with the XML data IRL so I can build support for the APEX into my Reeftronics Project It's going to be nice to have a real XML data source to work with... working with the RSS feed output from certain other controller was a bit of a PITA; it took more text manipulation than I'd have liked.

Just wanted to chime in and say how absolutely amazing I thought this product was when I saw it at MAX.

I went to their booth wanting to get more info on the ACIII that I've been drooling over the last couple of months and to my surprise there sat the Apex. After talking to the guy behind the booth (Curt?) I was blown away. And the value they are offering for just $500 damn! I was expecting him to tell me that the whole package was going to be well above 1K!

Anyway, I am ordering this the day it's available!

 

[niko5]

When on when do we get full specs Im sure Curts busy from the show but still

If they are needing a beta tester (probably already have done that), I have never used a controller (newbie) and would be willing to take one for a test spin. My system is 400 gallons all on dial timers. I had to try anyway. LOL

Never having owned a controller would make you a poor tester, trust me on that. After a few months the AC3 still has me going.
