Just started with Hydros.
Was setting up my Helio with 2 heaters attached.
My question is I plugged my Helio into the Launch AC Outlet 2 when setting up my first heater. When I went to setup the 2nd heater the Output Device didn’t give me the option to do AC Outlet 2 again.
I’m sure this is an easy problem to fix but I need some help.

You can only use an output port in one output setup. I don't use a heater controller but my heaters also have thermostats on them so I have their thermostats set for 3 degrees above the turn off setting in Hydros. So my Hydros is main control and the heater thermostats are the backup. So they do have their own separate outlets on my XP8. Usually with an external controller you would use it for main control and set the Hydros a few degrees above the turn off point on the controller so the Hydros would be the back up off. Then you only need the one outlet for the controller.
 
Thank you.
It seems to be working. I have one heater working primarily and the other as a backup as Carlos had described in a video.
