Ecosmart Live is utter garbage

So Glad I walked away from them. Bunch of crooks !

I agree. Complete trash. The time I save cleaning my wetsides vs a regular powerhead gets eaten up and more when I have to go through hell to change the schedule

I find it odd that I can program my pumps on ESL using Chrome, but I have to login using IE to save/upload profiles.
I have my RL on Ethernet direct to the modem and as long as the light is blue I don't have any issues. I used to run it behind a router and had issues getting it to stay online.

What I don't like about ESL is the fact I need to save pump settings after each small adjustment. Otherwise it'll crash if make too many unsaved adjustments. Then I need to upload a saved profile and start all over.

Also, sometimes I do need to power cycle some/all of my 5 pumps before starting programming, just to get access to them through ESL.

mine finally started working. left it plugged in with ethernet for the past day+ and it just started working on its own (aka lights turned blue)....

Hello,

Gosh how I would love to solve these problems for our fellow reefers. However as it stands, I simply am terrible with internet and computers. It makes me cringe from all the experiences. I have to agree with the op on a simple fact that a aka 25 dollar piece of garbage doorbell camera or security camera never has a problem connecting, but expensive equipment does. If one is a fan of them or not, its like buying a Ferrari and getting beat by a YuGo lol, just ahh should not happen.

I’ve had so many issues I gave up and just bought ReeFi lights.
