Hey everyone. I recently added a new a Apex to my growing number of tanks. If you use Fusion, you can really only get a single snapshot of one tank at a time. What i built was a raspberry pi with a touch screen, coupled with Node-red.

Let me know what you guys think of my project i'm lazily calling Dashpex.

Correct, each apex has its own local xml feed that i pull and parse from. Some things are are not available like the COR temp, RPM and Status. As well as most alarm conditions.

Looks awesome. All the xml /Json data is pulled from apex ?

Sadly the way all of this is built it is not very portable. At all.

I plan to expand this to something more robust and portable. But that’s weeks away.
