If so, can you test something for me?
Go to "misc setup" and "enable" Power Monitor
Create a virtual switch withe control type "Advanced"
Set OFF
If Power Apex Off 000 Then ON
in theory, as you plug/unplug the aux power, this switch should turn on and off (assuming your apex is being powered through an aquabus via power bar

The overall goal here is that you should plug the apex aux power directly to the wall, and the power bar to a battery backup, and when the monitor says the aux power is down, you can automate certain actions to save battery power)

I've gone through 2 apex jr trying to get this to work, and now, my devices are mismatched due to the process, and it seems to me like this feature simply does not work. Now, i'm stuck having to remap certain devices because neither or the new or the old properly mapped my old devices correctly, and going back seems to have broken the mapping as well.

Needless to say, i'm a bit annoyed.
