You do have the power supply to the WE LE hooked up and plugged in? The WE LE has to have it's power supply connected and powered for the pumps to run. The WE LE brain can be powered from command bus power but not the pumps.

Thanks so much I thought the wave LE controller and powerheads could run off command bus cable

As far as power supplies the one thing to remember is if it connects directly to a command bus port then do not use it if there is a XP8, X10, XD, Kraken or Wave Engine in the collective. They are not needed but they cannot be isolated. The others are isolated within the controllers like you WE LE. That isolation prevents power from the bus from getting to the pumps since they are on the power supply side of the isolation. This also keeps higher current devices from loading down the bus voltage also, but the main reason is to keep the bus current from entering the power supply if it were to become powered down. That can damage the power supply in some cases and is the reason for removing the power packs that connect directly to the command bus. To my knowledge those were only supplied with starter kits.
