Those things work? I thought there would be too much electrical interference?

The apex fusion update makes programming a real snap I got over the wifi by useing a power over ethernet module it just plugs into a 110v wall outlet close by and give you a jack straight to your router and was cheap

When Fusion first came out it was hard to connect but I think they have worked most of the hiccups out. Unless there is a power outage I'm connected all of the time now.

The power line adaptor also works well for me. I had tried the wireless gaming adaptor and it worked for a couple of years. When it died I switched to power line and so far it has been more reliable. In both cases I bought them on eBay.

My Apex handles the duty of ATO with the addition of the breakout box, a few cheep float switches from eBay and a maxi jet pump.

Sorry I don't have any experience or knowledge of that other product.

It greatly depends upon the quality and length of the electrical cable along with the load in the circuits you are using (can work across multiple circuits). I live in a 2 bedroom apartment and works wonderfully. It either works or doesn't; no sure way to tell whether it will work or not for a particular house without testing. I hate wifi and is accustomed to using ethernet and this was the only way I could do it without running cable from one end of the house to the other. If I get apex, I will be using powerline to connect to the internet instead of dropping money on the wifi module.

If there is an GFIC outlet on the Circuit or an outlet that might be wired hot neutral reverse or bad grounds ect ect IT can mess with them but that said I have mine on a GFIC in my tank room (because I enjoy life) it it works rock solid
