Can't Control Outlet Via Phone After Using Display?

[cm11599ps]

I've got four ph's on my apex. 1&2 are on an extension cord so I can actually use them on a triac. I have my powerheads cycling on and off, but yesterday I believe I turned 1&2 on manually using the apex display.

I'm lying in bed right now and I just whipped out my iPhone to check on the tank. I just realized that powerheads 1&2 are still set to manual on. I attempted to put them on auto via my phone but about 2-3 seconds after I select auto it goes right back to manual on. I've also tried to turn it off but it goes right back to manual on.

I'm lying in bed and too lazy to go check the display, especially since itvrequires turning the home alarm on and off. Lol

Remove the ampersand from the outlet name, Chris. You can use a hyphen instead.

Cool, that seemed to work. I changed the outlet name from my iPhone while at work and then tested using Aquanotes and it seemed to do the trick. Thanks!

FWIW, was this problem solely due to the use of the ampersand or did it have anything to do with the way I shut things off.

It was due to the &. And I don't believe it to be a problem with the Apex itself... it seems to be the iPhone app that had trouble with that particular character.
