Odds are there are many new features, but this basic one caught me off guard so I'm sharing it now. Fusion is no longer in Beta-stage, it's 100% live. If you've not opted to go this route yet, it's time to get your firmware updated and enjoy the cloud-based features. Number one for me is the speed. You can make a change and it implements it within half a second, compared to the older method (Apex App). Fusion is browser-based, so you can access it with any computer or smartphone and it will always look the same.
To get back to my point, yesterday I tried to turn on some lights that were off and all the controls were shadowed out. I didn't know why, nor did I find a way to unshadow them. As I scrolled down the screen, every control was covered with diagonal striping.
I posted a message on the Neptune System's forum asking for help. I was able to use Fusion from my iMac's browser, turning the lights on. But my mobile device wouldn't accept any changes. Confusing, it was. I quickly got a response that those strips are a cover, to avoid activating anything when you use your finger to scroll up and down. At the top of the screen is a small icon that allows you to unlock them all, or lock them all. (It's orange in this next screenshot)
You also can slide them individually from the right to the left to unlock, and then the reverse to lock it. Apparently these covers were requested, but I never got the memo. I hope this helps some of you. It's specifically designed to only do this on mobile devices. In the control panel, you can choose to override this permanently if you don't like it: https://apexfusion.com/user/display
