It would seem I don't know how to post a link!

Anyway, do a search for wifi power strip. That's what I tried to show you.

No don’t think so have an apex with 2 energy bars trying to use one of them in different location that I can’t reach with a usb cable

If you mean the apex energy bars specifically, then I think you have to use the aquabus cables.

All Apex modules (including Energy Bars) require an AquaBus connection to obtain a module address and to communicate with the Apex, otherwise there's no way to control it.

The only exception to this for Energy Bars is if you set all outputs to Fallback ON, then disconnect it from the Apex. At that point, it would just be an expensive power strip with all outputs permanently on that you wouldn't be able to control.
