New Jebao 3.4 wifi doser

tumyeto · Jul 9, 2019

Hi there Reefers,

I'll be posting updates on my 50 gallon SCA cube.
Currently setting up the new Jebao 3.4 wifi doser which works with the Jebao Aqua app on iPhone. Pretty impressed with the app interface so far with regards to calibration and programming.

I am curious to see how this product works as the Jabo I have I have had to do a bunch of replacements on. (I do have an older model).

Hopefully they were easy and inexpensive replacements. What kind of issues did you see with the older model?

Jebao included one extra head in this box.

I have had to hard solder the power supply on the board as it did not make good connections. 2 of the pumps corroded and stopped working which required new soldered in. The unit is easy enough to work on as it is a simple design. I am looking for a simpler pump one that can be controlled remotely so I can make changes while out at the office or out of state, but I don't like the prices of the apex doser.

So i purchased on also and in the begining had an issue with connectingto the WIFI but figured it out. Since i have comcast internet i had to call or chat comcast to split my wifi to a 2.4 and a 5.0 Wifi connection where both show up when i want to connect to the wifi. I Connected my Cell phone (I Phone 10s) to the 2.4 and downloaded the APP Jebao Aqua and it connected perfect. I also calibrated it with no issues and worked great.

I am having similar connection issues. The app discovers my WiFi but when the device is selected to be added it gives a “device not found error”.

I agree that you have to make sure your router has a 2.4ghz frequency in order for it to work. Mine connected easily and for the past 2 months the doser works as expected. It’s a perfect size and easy to setup! Hopefully it will remain reliable with time.

Turn off the 5.0 internet while attempting to connect it , that’s how I got mine to connect the first time

Thanks for the suggestion. This fixed the problem!

I disabled the 5.0 ghz, only running on 2.4ghz. I get to the point where it is counting to 100 for connection, and always end up with "failed". I strongly believe I have a defective unit.

Same issue here. I just got mine today. I tried disconnecting the 5.0 ghz but it counted to 100 and didn´t find the doser. Any help will be appreciated.
