HI everyone - my first post today!
Just got my brand new Wave Engine setup - so far so good, though I have to admit working your way through "pumps", "modes", "pre-sets" and "triggers" can be a bit daunting at the beginning.
One of reasons I bought this device was that it was advertised to work with other controllers,, e.g., APEX controllers. What I want to do is have my apex tell the Hydros to go into feed mode and slow down my pumps. I am aware of the Coralvue YouTube video that Carols does which walks you through how to set this up where Apex Controller tells Hydros Wave Engine Controller to turn-off all pumps during feed mode. That video is perfect if you want to fully stop all pumps during feed mode. However, many of us don't want our pumps to completely shut-off during feed mode, but instead have the pumps slow way-down. Now I know there is another YouTube video qhwew Carlos explains how to modify the feed mode where the Hydros will slow down your pumps when feed mode is activated. However, this YouTube video example is all done within the Hydros application I need to know how to instruct the Hydros, via my Apex Controller to slow down the pumps to a speed that I can set. When I brought this up ("replied) in the YouTube Video, Carlos suggested that I get help from the Community Forum. So here I am looking for some help. Thanks everyone!
 
Here are the instructions of what you are looking for.

Carlos. Your instructions were terrific and I’ve got my Gyres, Vortech and Abyzz pumps all running at 5% during feed mode. I would suggest that you add a step (or comment) that you want to activate the feed mode from the Apex if using an Apex controller. This is including in your other instructions where you talk about an apex controller working with a Hydros Wave Engine. In that video you instruct the user to activate feed mode from the Apex. In the modified video you instruct the user to activate the feed mode in the Hydros Wave Engine. Thanks again - lovin the Wave Engine!
 
Hello,
I followed Carlos' video on how to stop pumps for feeding by invoking Feed Mode from Apex.
A couple of questions:
1. Why set Feeding Mode to 2v and Apex to send 20v?
2. And from this, how to invoke new Modes I create from Apex?
Thank you!
