Mobius App via Wifi

[Shadows Reef]

Any updates here? Why just the G5 for WIFI bridge @Darkshadow1500? Is the G5 Radion Mobius chip different than the others? @Tim at EcoTech anything you can share?

I have 4 Gen 4 XR15s, 2 MP40s and am waiting on a Vectra M2 to arrive. This would be awesome news if all could be accessed through the cloud!

Im only assuming this because when I check on the devices when connected via wifi they are only connected via the G5’s.(the one with the dot is what your connected through, it’s purple when connected via wifi and I think green via Bluetooth, not sure what color the dot is when connected via Bluetooth but I know it’s not purple lol)

Yeah I’m curious if my G4 legacy radions (that apparently have the same chip as the G5s) will eventually get their own little purple dot!

Any update on this?

I asked this week and customer service said it would be ready “in the coming months” and that they were in the final stages

At this moment, G5s are the only ecotech device that is wifi capable.

Smh they really need to update it soon with the prices they charge

I sold my G5 Pro in favor of a Kessil 500x. I still have mp10s and a S2, hopefully these will be included in the upcoming WiFi. Currently not happy with Mobius app, was working fine until the last three days, doesn’t stay connected to products. IDK, nothing on my end has changed.

Other devices are wifi capable too, since they can be accessed via the reeflink.
So if they are forcing G5's in order to use Mobius wifi, it would be bordering on criminal, since it would be an attempt to force people to upgrade to the G5's.

Spoke with Tim, only G5 is WiFi capable

So the millions of reefers who have Vectras, Vortechs, and Radion G4/G3s are just out of luck? These are wifi capable too! Way to disrespect your customer base Ecotech, for the sake of new sales!

Reeflink uses bluetooth not wifi, they are not capable without swapping the chip

I’ve upgraded to Mobius for all my devices and bought new chips so that I could get away from Reeflink. Been waiting forever for the wifi solution, only to find out most of the Ecotech customer base still cannot use wifi.

Well all I can say is that the WiFi is currently in beta, so they could always add features. If you upgraded to the Mobius chips the feature could be on them. It could also be soldered to the motherboard on the G5 lights, I haven't seen a teardown. Currently the WiFi model uses ONE of your G5 lights to connect to the WiFi, and the remaining devices connect via bluetooth to the G5 that it decides is the master.

Over email, that shot down S2 and mp10 hopes.

My vortechs are total hit or miss connecting to blue tooth

Mine stay connected. I think that was the app problem. It’s been fine ever since I posted this. Definitely was a glitch somewhere.

What did you do? I have reinstalled the app a few times, etc. If i shut off the vortechs and turn back on, sometimes that works. The large buttons for shutting off are just as easy if not easier for feeding, but don't automatically come back on, and i use them usually.

Put your feed mode under scenes. You can tap that feed button and everything will turn down for your set amount of time and ramp up when done. I couldn’t get it to work under the other feed mode button.

But i can't (always) get the controller to connect to the app at all is my problem, how do i get around that?
