Even if you don't have outside internet you can access the Apex through the classic interface as long as your home network is up.
Correct.
I have been since Wednesday midnight without electricity. Half of the house + well pump is hooked to the generator. As well as all the tanks and internet. So I do have access to Apex because it is wired to the router.
I cross my finger expecting to have power today. All the areas around mine have power restored based on the National Grid map.
I went today to load again two 5 G tanks for my generator. I have a Prius Prime (plug in) and we have fun with the gas station owner because in these 3 days I spent more money in gas for my generator than the amount I would expend in the prius.... could be in ~ 2 years

Where do you get that info in Fusion ?

Maybe the IP of the Apex (or wifi extender) changed when it reconnected.

If you’re on generator, why does your tank temp drop to 70? If the generator is not sufficient, I would kill everything else except for flow and heat. Everything else can wait including your hot shower.

Because portable generators some times don’t stay at 60hz so you have dirty power and some electronics won’t run 100% like my heaters, mag pumps, my pellet stove. They all work but not perfectly

I hope this graph shows you what I mean Nick. But portables don’t produce clean power(60hz) like the power companies power. So some electronics don’t run at 100% like my heaters, some water pumps, my pellet stove and even the lights in your house. Hence why they flicker.

Stop buying sh** product!
Get a Honda and your tank will be running at 80 and be in your shorts with your pellet stove running properly.

Got power at ~11PM.... hurray. MPSTEVE for these 3 days I had a 5500 W ~8600W peak. It kept my pellet stove, well pump, lights in master bedroom, kitchen and living room, 2 refrigerators with freezer, plus from the kitchen I took an extension where I plugged my reef tank plus fuge and another Discus tank. And to the house lines there where plugged 2 Angel fish tanks (65G , 40G, 75G, 45G and 30G) and a 35 G brute with my new Marine water for my weekly WC all heated to 78 and the discus I reduced it from 85 to 81.
When all the lights where ON and all tanks fully working the system was in the limit. 4-5 times during the day, if someone used the toilet and the well pump started, tripped the generator, but sometime it didn't. Meaning it was really in the limit of their capacity. BUT did the job. No complains at all.
I am writing all this info to give an idea if someone wants to buy a generator.
Nevertheless, I think I will invest in one as mentioned 8000W 10000 W peak dual fuel to have that extra power and avoid,any tripping. And the dual fuel to use propane (BQ Tanks) and gas. That will give a little more of flexibility. They are ~$800 -$1000. Not cheap, but neither too expensive for this hobby.

Ps: I forgot to say the brand : Briggs & Stratton
