Bench verified integration

Neptune Apex

Local Apex monitoring, verified on the Reef Research Labs bench.

Last updated 2026-08-31

Overview

Node One can connect to a Neptune Apex on the local network and bring supported readings into the Node OS dashboard.

Requirements

  • A supported Neptune Apex on the same local network as Node One.
  • Apex access available during connection.
  • The Apex probes and modules you want to monitor already working in Apex.

Connect

  1. 1

    Open Add Equipment

    Choose Neptune Apex, then Connect.

  2. 2

    Follow the local connection prompt

    Complete the Apex access requested by Node One.

  3. 3

    Review readings

    Confirm that expected probes and outlet states appear before naming and organizing the device.

What Node One can read

  • Temperature and pH where present.
  • Outlet states.
  • Trident readings where the connected Apex provides them.
  • Other supported readings exposed by the verified integration path.

Control

Node One does not control Apex outlets or programs. Use Neptune's own tools for Apex control.

Troubleshooting

  • Keep Node One and Apex on the same local network.
  • Confirm Apex is reachable from another device on that network.
  • If readings stop, check Alerts for Stopped answering, then restart only after checking power and network cables.

Remove

Open the Apex device page, select Remove..., then Tap again to remove.
