@RonBurgundy10 started a great thread about his Uniflex set-up. Since the v2 has some subtle differences, I thought folks might be able to learn from both threads, but also keep them mentally separate for the few differences.
I was missing the antenna and @BrunDog puts out a lot of warnings about not turning it on without the antenna so I waited until Pete could send a replacement. I have the dual power option, but my interpretation of that was that you could use the 15-P if you did not need the elements and otherwise all the power would derive form the 30A plug. Wrong. Took me a while to figure out that the 15P plug is needed for everything in the unit except the elements (I think).
Setting up the network: while not super-intuitive, the instructions were pretty decent for this. I have a few smart devices made by Esspressif so that confused me for a while, but eventually worked that out, got uniflex connected to network and laptop connected to uniflex.
The use of the different pins mapping to a whole different set of ports is a bit confusing, but certainly fine to add each device and select its port based on the mapping on page 15 in the Uniflex Product Notes. The pumps were easy enough to create. I am starting with button controls and then will build scripting once I have the pushbuttons all working. I am going to write a reply on this thread for each of the issues I am having, but here is the summary

- Only some of the ball valves are responding
- Not finding all 3 of the probes
- Not sure what devices are needed to run the elements
