Apex Fusion Vortech Radion WXM HELP I've been up all night with little to show for it

[champion6sigma]

I just installed the WXM module earlier ..yesterday I should say....

Took 2 hours to get the two vortechs finally listed on wxm/fusion. They are programmed OK in fusion....

Its taking me an hour to figure out, and bunch of reboots, unplugs, settings ....to know that when I have constant selected on apex, my mp40 blinks white! I select lagoon, which should be purple, and I get a solid yellow! I haven't tried anything else yet. My fish hate me right now.

Is this normal? Apex is brand new this month/same as wxm/vortechs, everything in my tank. All updates have been done, or attempted. I've rebooted the wxm module...multiple times.

What am I doing wrong?

Also, I cannot for the life of me get the radion xr30wpro gen 3 found or controlled. At this point of issues, I'm wondering if its worth it.

I've read that ability to control function on ESL is lost on radion, if apex is used? Is this true? Also, is my vortech function lost on ESL now or can they be controlled (taken over) back and forth between or two or for short term changes?

I do have reeflink, which is what I'm using now for radion and vectra

thanks for the help.

Ok here we go !

First your MP's they need to be reset for them to join the WXM....so shut down the ESL and factory reset your lights with the following sequence....hold down the left and center button on the MP's pump controller until they blink Blue, Red, white.

Second the Radion....they need to be factory reset from the Ecotech Software with the cable connected to your PC not using ESL....once they are reset in the APEX Module menu do a Add for the Radion and they should connect.

May the force we with you

I wish i had some force, feel like death at moment, going to try and sleep for an hour before my 11 month old wakes up.

I did reset the mp40's. They are connected. They are being controlled by the wxm/apex. Issue is that the "color" indicating modes is not matching up to ecotech's color chart.....

I haven't done all that on the radion...not sure if I want to now...I think there is more ability on ESL than on fusion? right? I wish there was just a current 2015 version of whats possible and whats not with the apex and ecotech....

Also do you know the answers to the other questions? the vortechs will not be able to be changed on ESL now without restablishing sync and "losing" my sync on fusion....and back to square one where i was 6 hours ago?

Thanks for your help and response.
