Finally Set up the Apex

[ryecoon]

Control home lighting? like recess lighting around the house?

What firmware are you guys running. Seems like I will have to downgrade

 

[Bow]

A long as you can plug it in the apex can controll it. There are much easier ways to control lighting though.

Hmmm ok odd. Clicked on the link in th email as I've done a few times and it brought me to the account set up page. Problem solved

First of all let me say congratulations. Second and I'm not sure if this was mentioned but how did you set it up to the computer? I really am not computer literate. I connected everything manually but would love to have it connected to the internet and more so to my phone. I am to the point that would pay someone to do it for me.

Ok this is CRAZY. My name is Micah and that's not me. This must be a sign lol. I'm destined to get one of these.

If you go step by step and do what they say it isn't to bad.

 

[ryecoon]

The process is very easy you just replace the lighting manufactories control for the apex and use their devices.

I like how it tells you if you have a programming error.

Can I get in on the viewing? Need ideas for programming. It's been a long time since I had to to basic or pascal but once I see some I think I will get it. Lol or just copy it

I tried direct connection but I really am bad with computers

 

[ryecoon]

once you connect to the internet. pop the CD into your mac. Theres a folder that says "Mac" the open Firmware.then follow the prompts

Do you have a router?

 

[ryecoon]

you may need to buy this Netgear Bridge... It runs perfect. highly suggested.

Thx man I remember a saying:
"You want your parameters to be the boring roller coaster ride not the exciting one" mean as stable as possible.

Do you have a router?

Yes but when I connected everything, nothing happened
