Word on the street (aka facebook) is that the ICV6 will soon be able to connect the advanced controller to an apex. Any truth to that?

Etheral via ICV6 >Apex 2016 support is coming soon. Gyres recently were given basic Syna-G support (pre-programmed modes) with ICV6, with more to come. Logic dictates the gyre support via ICV6 will eventually make its way to the 2016 Apex as well.

If the icecap could control two gyres we would be set but unfortunately it doesn't and it's not worth the cost to buy two interfaces.

I Have my Gyre on an icecaps module hooked to my Apex
This is assuming apex support does happen, which given other things going on, should be decently safe bet;

If you're running two more more gyres, it's cheaper and more redundant to get the advanced controller and an ICV6. The Icecap modules also use up 0-10v apex ports, something that can be a premium considering the VDM for additional ones is $100.

True but to me it's way better than the Gyre controller

This is a major downfall of this pump. I love the flow and the design but the cost to get a system up and running and connected to an apex is way too much. I have an old apex. I hope this works with older classics.

Yah what he said. With the new pumps out any chance they will be able to work with my Apex?

Maxspect.com support will not answer anything relating to ICV6 <> Apex 2016 IOTa. @Terence would probably be the only one on the other side that can say if this is dead in the water.

If I remember correctly Neptune's response is it is up to Maxspect because IOTA is there. That is why I do not see myself buying the 300 because being strung along with the future Apex support "Soon(tm)"
