Radion G5 XR15 blue

Rollman · May 9, 2022

Are a complete joke. I bought 6 of them about 5 months ago. I simply wanted to add some white, the app is useless still. Perfect example of a company not giving a crap. Sure the light itself is nice but a lot of companies make nice lights now, and they employ folks who can program a simple app. Ok done complaining but it hurts for $2800

Yes, Mobius sucks - no argument there (had the same issue with my lights yesterday just trying to adjust a single point).

Yeah, only the pro lets you do specific spectrum bands I believe. You should be able to control it via the "graph" system (which is clunky) and do 3 channels...do you run a controller or anything? I'm also not a very big fan of mobius. To be honest not many reefing control apps really give me warm fuzzies.

I think he means the updating/syncing problem.

Make sure you are on the proper wifi band. It won't work with 5 ghz properly I believe?

Mobius isn’t even wifi, it only operates on bluetooth. If it were wifi this probably wouldn’t be an issue!

I use apex which cant do anything :-( the lights are fine, just annoying I cant change a percentage for the price point lol. This is def the worst I’ve experienced with reefing apps.

Mobius works fine for my mp-40’s. Weird

Since im new to Radions and Mobius I dont have much to add. It was fairly simple to setup and I know the pro has more adjustability.
With that said I worked in Silicon Valley for 20+ years and for a company based their I would expect alot more since this is gen 5 after all.

I will say that growth is excellerating on my tester frags and is similar to my old halide system. I am running 100/100 ab+. Also its only been a week under them.

I have no issues with mobius for my lights, MP40s or vectra M2. Occasionally I will get the Blu tooth error message but typically resolves itself in a minute or two.

I'm not liking Mobius either. 1st time using it 2 days ago. The app is garbage. Bring back ecotechlive. I keep losing connection to my Vectra. The Mp10's is fine tho. They need to fix the connectivity issue.

I just purchased another fixture to add to my existing lights, I notice when I tap on my custom setting ... 3 of my fixtures would dim, but not the new fixture. I already reset and reboot ( did everything that could be done ) still not dimming like the other fixtures.

What a joke.

I also experienced weird analomies like this. Go to adjust one thing and another acts weird until i'm done.

If you continue to have connectivity issues, you may need to contact the manufacture and trouble shoot it. They will probably identify the issue or send you replacement part if you need it.

Ecotech is based out of Pennsylvania. Mobius is only a couple years old (should still be better but it's not 5 generations old.)

I wonder if they will eventually not use AI apps anymore for AI products and move everything to mobius since its all under one roof now. You would think they made them mobius compatible for a reason.

I haven't had a lot of issues with mobius yet but I also have not had to mess with it much.

How to add white to a XR15 blue. Since all the light colors are at 100% already you have to lower the intensity of the other colors while leaving white at 100%(leave point intensity at 100%) Then increase your schedule intensity to bring the PAR back up. Since there are very few white leds in a XR15 blue you can only raise it so much. The blue was made to put out blue light(AB+ spectrum) which is why it's called BLUE. I love mine, not thrilled with Mobius though.

The same keeps happening to me on my mp10 and xr30 pro g5

Yes. Still waiting for the promised WiFi upgrade...
