ReefLED Firmware 1.9

MSOEME2009 · Mar 11, 2020

Anyone else kill their LED this morning with the new firmware?

I've tried resetting, re-linking, hard reset, power reset, the 3x plug in trick.

I can get my phone to connect to the unit but it cannot connect to the internet now which makes it useless.

I get an "on-boarding" and "wifi" error.

Will wait to see what RedSea says... I should have known better than to do this before I was supposed to go out of town today. Cancelled my work trip to try to fix this garbage.

Might be a G5 coming... I can't deal with problems when I travel.

Well now I know not to upgrade so I guess thank you for taking one for the team. Honestly the connectivity issues are a big turn off for me but I don't see myself dropping between 30% more to double per light so I'll stick with them. Almost bricked one of mine yesterday by setting it up, failed to connect the first time and spent two hours doing reset after reset before being able to find a network while the other had no issue.

Just so you guys know if you pop the plastic cap off remove the four screws and open it there is a CMOS battery in there that you can hard reset the units. Within minutes kind of like a computer motherboard I did the update today and it took and successfully upgraded the lights I was having a problem with the prior patch not accounting for daylight savings all and all the lights are working fantastically and provide a much more beneficial light source than my other LEDs

The light its self is good, but I should not experience these problems from this company.

This is what did the trick for me but still a bit annoying having to go through all that every time something goes wrong, the basic reset doesn't do s**t for me. I do agree that they're quite beautiful otherwise, can't wait to have corals in the tank.
