Prime16HD Latest Firmware and weird behaviour

Nathan80 · Aug 25, 2024

Does anyone know what the latest firmware is?

Light is behaving weirdly - I’ve saved a preset from another light, tried uploading it and for some odd reason its only uploading half of the preset and the other half then just tapers off to the light going off just after midnight for some reason, it also won’t let me add any new points once I’ve uploaded it. (Photos are what it should be and what it looks like when its uploaded)

Just checking I’m on the latest firmware to see if that’s the issue. I’m on Firmware 1.5.21 (I can’t see an option to update it). If I’m on the latest firmware has anyone got any suggestions or ideas about what the light is doing?

TIA

1.5.21 has been out for quite some time. Are you using the 16HD file on a non prime 16HD?

It was a set of presets from an older PrimeHD. I can’t believe AI have restricted the number of points to 30 and taken WiFi away. It was the points that was throwing it out - I had too many.

I used to be really impressed with Hydra26 HD and Prime HDs. I’m glad I got this 16HD cheap secondhand - AI really need to take a look at the next version and bring all the flexibility that was there with the 16, 32 and 64s predecessors back - I certainly wouldn’t be buying one new!

Well it's easy to remove some extra points and have the schedule work and have it be in line. But I get what your saying about them taking away Wi-Fi and such. Honestly I don't know why a person would need to have so many points like the Saxby file. All these up n down parts of the files some say it's acting as clouds coming over. Being on the AI hydra group I've been told a profile like that is more for a SPS system. The points are to simulate waves and a reduction of light. Anyways that's my advice, just delete some points and fill in the blanks and you can have the same schedule but less points.
