I've been trying to find the answer to this, and some people say yes ... some people say no.

Seems like JBJ made at least 2 versions of their drivers for the Unibody, and I believe I am getting the newest version. I asked the JBJ rep if it works with controllers, and she said, "They tell me Apex is good". I don't know who "they" is (Maybe people she works with?), but then I saw on their forums a person said Apex doesn't work with JBJ.

Anyone know for sure? :hmm2:

From the specs it looks like it will. It takes analog 0-10vdc dimming signals which the Apex provides - and they use the 'Control Freaks' trademark from Neptune without mentioning Neptune directly.

I have my doubts about the control cable though. I'm not sure it has the required RJ45 end that the Apex needs. Try to find out whether they make an Apex adapter or not. You could probably DIY something if you're handy with that sort of thing.
