Kamoer X1 Pro 2 - My Experience

[Florida Dan]

I have a Synology router. I couldn't get connected after dozens of attempts using my 2.4 GHz, even though it was named differently than my 5 GHz. I tried numerous things like a different device instead of my phone, disabling my 5 GHz network.

This worked in the end. I created a guest 2.4 network with a very simple password. That allowed me to connect immediately.

Yeah

Hopefully the X1 Pro2 doesnt become a brick in a couple years due to WiFi capabilities being outdated.

Has anyone had any trouble with the pump not entering network configuration mode? Me instructions say the blue light should flash quickly and I can't get it to do that. I've tried holding the button down all the different ways I can think and all I get is the slow blink of disconnected from cloud.

My kamoer app always shows the SSID as "unknown ssid". It still allows me to enter a PW, but I believe this is my main hurdle to overcome. I get stuck at 60% every time. Anyone have this issue?

I've tried two routers now running dedicated 2.4ghz, with everything else disabled. Starting to think maybe it's an issue with my Pixel 4.

I'm in the exact same situation here as well. Just received this pump and won't connect to Wi-Fi. Stalls at 20% when the blue light is flashing slowly and stalls at 60% when the blue light is flashing fast. My home network also states "Unknown SSID" for whatever reason.

I even called my Internet Provider and had them shut off my 5GHz on my Mesh Wi-Fi setup. Still no luck. I am trying to connect via a Note 8 Android Phone but might try my wife's iPhone 11 next.

Been at it some more since I got home. No luck yet. Wish I had another device to test against. Keep me updated if the iphone works.

I've been through this with 3 units now. You can have everything set right and it still will not connect without multiple attempts. I'd still buy another unit if I needed one though.

My own troubles along with one or two others are within this thread.

Yeah I was thinking the same, but I do not think I would go with this brand if this is a continued issue...still waiting on Coralvue for a response @CoralvueDon

Oh, it's a well known issue from the initial release. They know about it. I wish they hadn't deleted that thread...

Were you seeing the "<unknown ssid>" message as well? If so, did you manage to connect with it being unknown?

I was getting stuck at 60% repeatedly. I cant recall about the SSID message.

Gotcha.

I'll just keep banging my head against it for now. That is apparently the only proven method of success with this product.

 

[jphilip813]

I get an occasional green light that flashes; once in a while...but 95% of the time, its the RED flashing light is what i get.

IME the initial software installation has to be connected to a 2.4ghz network.
So I created a wifi tethering on my cell phone which is always 2.4ghz, create same name and password as the main network. Turn off the main network and start the installation with mobile wifi.
After completed. Turn off the mobile wifi tethering, turn back on main network and kamoer unit will jump connect to your main network regardless of 2.4 or 5ghz.
FYI, Google Nest new software is able to set up 2.4ghz network

Ok Mystery SOLVED for me....You have to give the APP Location permissions on your phone (for me Android Samsung S21 Ultra). By default, they do not have permission to your current location. Once the APP has permission (which is weird by itself), then once you select the 2.4ghz band, you should be able to select your home wifi (nstead of a blank space) and input the wifi password and go from there. It worked.

THIS WORKED!!! Thank you so much!

<ssid unknown> error was solved after allowing location in app permissions. I stalled at 60% once, but then remembered I had modified some settings of my 2.4ghz signal. I reverted them back to default 2.4 wifi.

Not sure if it actually had any effect or it will help anyone, but I'll attach screenshot of my router settings.

Won't have time to get this thing setup to dose until later today. Hopefully that's not nearly as much of a challenge.
