I have the Pump plugged into USB and POWER only it works but AquaSuite does not detect the pump I don't remember having to use the AquaBus interface on my last system but that was a few years ago
Questions
1. What does the USB interface on the Pump do if it doesn't talk to AquaSuite?
2. Do I need to plug in the AquaBus cable and still have the USB cable in place? or do I need one of the other?
1. You can configure the pump, and manually control the pump speed with a USB connection. It should show in aquasuite under a MPS tab.
2. The USB and aquabus connections are complimentary, but neither is required.
You need the USB connection to configure the pump initially (only if more than 1 MPS device), but it can then be removed.
The aquabus connection opens communication with the aquaero, and is needed if you want to place the pump on a controller.
If the aquabus connection is NOT implemented, you will not see the pump in the pump tab of the aquaero.
I believe the aquastream XT acts similarly to a D5 USB./aquabus pump.
