Ahh, yeah. If they say it's a problem.
The ipad can use chrome. That should connect.

No, I meant using chrome browser to connect to esl with the usb cord.
I use chrome with my windows laptop.

But like you said originally ETM said it doesn't work.
Thanks.

it works perfect on the ipad but u cant use the ecosmartlive app, whit this app will be the same exact access like in the phone, so if u have the app just delete it then go to www.esl.com then u can work all settings in ur Radions, Vortechs, Vectras and reeflink, when u finish it then u can save the page on the ipad screen so next time u just go to the saved site in your ipad, its not that bad just some sensitive its all, hope it works. Happy reefing!!!!

I use my Ipad and phone to connect to ecosmart live with the app. Works perfect for me.

Any idea why it stopped working? Was it fixable?

DSD1977 · Jan 12, 2016

Not sure why. It smelled a little burnt. I was going to send it in because it was under warranty but I I wanted to hook them up to my APEX.

NanaReefer · Jan 12, 2016

Oh I thought you meant the app stopped working [emoji38]

DSD1977 · Jan 12, 2016

No, the app worked. I've decided that if it can be hooked up to APEX then it's going on my tank. I love to be able to keep an eye on my tank while away.
