In the picture above, your Apex is reading the temp at 79.1 . Your programming tells the apex to turn the outlet on when the temp is below 78.0, and off when the temp is above 80. The graph shows the temp as decreasing down from a high of 80.3. So the outlet was turned off, and won't turn back on until you go below 78.0 again. You can correct this by programming a narrower range for the outlet to turn on and off. I use 0.4 degrees.
This doesn't explain why your BRS controller was reading at 74 degrees though. How do you have the BRS controller programmed? Does the BRS probe need calibrating? I am not familiar with the BRS controller but I know I had to calibrate my Inkbird controllers.
In any case, check the temp with a third probe and see which probe (BRS or Apex) is correct.
