Make sure you have a valid DNS Server set.

Thanks for your reply.
However, I didn’t change anythjng. I just use back the previous setting. But there is no tick in the box of connected with myGHL now.

P.S. The photo I attached was previous firmware version.

You need to input valid DNS settings. 0.0.0.0 is invalid. Feel free to enter 8.8.8.8, or 1.1.1.1, or your router IP should work as well; 192.168.1.1

eyesmuri · Nov 16, 2018

Thank you for your reply.
I will try then and let you know later. Many thanks.

I have my Profilux set up from last weekend. I plan to set up my KH Director this weekend.

Is there a compatible Calcium Reactor that can be integrated with my Profilux and KHD so that the Profilux controls the Calc Reactor? If so, which system is best integrated?

What are you guys using with your GHL system and how is it working?

After I change the DNS to 8.8.8.8, the problem solved. Thank you so much.

Also, what brand Cal Reactor is best for small places?

There is nothing cobtroller brand/GHL specific about a clacium reactor.
You're going to be controlling your CO2 solenoid most likely, and that will plug into your controllable power socket.

Makes sense. Thanks!

Now that my Profilux is set up, can I use the app or the online platform to do updates or do I still need to keep a windows computer?

P4 Update should be done using GCC via a USB connection.

Wi-Fi module,web server, web interface updates can be performed over your network with any web browser on your PC, Mac, or smartphone. These steps are covered in the resource guide.
