I see the WEv2 (and other WE's) can take a battery backup. However, only IceCap is supported. Really? I currently have a 12v backup for my MP40s that I'm about to replace. Would another 12v 20ah battery work?? Thanks again!

Great, thanks for the info!

Hey Danny. Thanks again for your time. I ended up ordering the X4 Pro Starter, WEv2, and a few other items. Just want to confirm connectivity of the collective. Here's a possible layout: XP8 Command Bus to X4 Command Bus to X2 (existing) Command Bus to WEv2. WEv2 will have its own power...

Is it worth driving a return pump with the WEv2? Have a VariouS-4. If not, I could get away with the WELite. I can see wave pumps, but unsure on returns.

Would you power the WEv2 with the XP8 or does it need its own? Not sure if power goes "down the line". For example, XP8 power to X3 to X2 to WEv2. X3 is probably enough for me for now. Gives me two extra sense ports with the two I have on the X2. Thanks again!

I currently have an X2 Starter. I'm about to move away from the Apex Jr and also add Octo Pulse 2 and VarioS 4 return. I will likely add the wave engine v2. Trying to decide if I should add the X3 only (use the pH probe from Apex), add X3 Pro (to get the XP8), do the X4 only (same with pH...

Probably not going to venture into ReefPi....at least not at the moment. Not really leveraging any MQTT currently though I have in the past. Using the ATO via Hydros with a Hydros dosing pump. It works. However, intrigued with your setup. If I do that, the only thing I use the Hydros for...

That may be true, but looking to fill the need. I can go on on my home automation journey and Home Assistant / HomeKit (like all HA fans), however, it makes sense to have that one dashboard. Great idea on the gauges. Guess I got a little carried away with the apex charts. Could add the...

Another bump. Here's what I put together with Kasa TP-Link strips and a few other things. Power readings....useful? Maybe, just cool to track. Would be nice to get more info from Hydros to populate my dashboard in Home Assistant.

Bumping....several months later. Just ordered my aquarium and Hydros 4 Pro. Would be nice to integrate to Home Assistant, and from there, get to HomeKit for some things.
