I just added a second energy bar. I plugged it into the the other EB8 for power. I plug the Aquabus controller in and it works. A few minutes later, the light starts blinking green and the outlets shut off. WHat do I need to do?

How do you setup eb8? You need to do a little setup/program

can you plug the second EB8 to a regular power outlet instead on the first EB8? Could be overloading it

do you have the model with a screen on it? I would reset the whole system by going through the menus. Make sure the aquabus of the second EB8 is connected to the main brain. See if that helps

I plugged into the wall now. Its blinking Amber. On my Dashboard it lists the default outlets, but under modules, its not there.

I am confused. Why would you plug in your second EB8 to one of your outlet on your first EB8?
it's not necessary but if that what he wants then he needs to look into that outlet program. Something like this

Fall back on (or off)
Set on

I never use the old program for apex. I am using apexfusion. Much easier and user friendly
