    Jim,I'm useing my apex with a vdm to control and dim the AI SOL LED's. Personally it s@#ks and you need a phd to figure it out.Lots of virtual programs.Hate to say it but R/C has a bunch of examples on how to program it and set it up.You do need their cable also.If it will help I can send you my web link and you can look at what I did

    Are you able to also manually control the LEDs using the controller (e.g., aquanotes or via web)?

    yes you can adjust the light levels useing the laptop or my phone.You'll have to program virtual programs for sunrise,sunset, blue control,white control,and storm if you want it then program ramps and intesity levels too.It is these ramp times and intensity levels that you use to adjust the percentage of the light power.Make sense?? Like I said,get into mine and copy what you need.
