I was just setting up my rodi storage container with an Avast barrel tender. I purchased the version with Apex controller integration.

My storage container is too far away from the Apex to plug into the I/o port on the base unit.

I cannot seem to find a module that just adds an I/o port so I am looking for the least expensive module with an I/o port - the other ports will be unused. I see the PM1 comes with the I/o port. What are my other options?

PM1, PM2, PM3, and ASM modules have the I/O port. There's no module with only the I/O port.

You might want to look into making an extension cable with the DIN connector so it can reach the base unit.

See my Apex Hardware Overview article for details on every Apex module:
