what the heck Coralvue

[clifg]

I come home neither of my gyres is running. Come to find out it's because CoralVue updated the software on the WaveEngine and there was no continuity for the pumps to keep running?? Now all the modes & settings I've done are all sorts of messed up and who knows how long my pumps weren't running. What gives?

My old main pump finally gave up on me two days ago and I’ve been relying on my 4K gyre to keep the tank going while new pump is en route, I come home from work today to the same issue as yours and my tank completely still. Needless to say I’m incredibly frustrated trying to figure out how to reconfigure it as well.

When did you’ll update your Wave Engine? Read the attached link from last Tuesday. Hopefully it helps.

Honestly sometimes low technology can be a blessing in that hobby. I am old school I guess

Yeah mine just auto updated today I guess. With no warning.

The app or firmware?

Both

The app can automatically update, that is based on phone settings but the firmware must be manually downloaded and installed.

Are you absolutely sure it just auto updated? I ask because that should not happen.

Vers 186? I'm absolutely positive I did not update it myself.

Yes, the latest is 186. Very interesting. Maybe you stumbled on a bug. I know for a fact the firmware update has to be done manually. Maybe put in a service ticket at CoralVue’s site so they can look into it. Are you a member of the Hydros forum? If not, please join and make a post over there.

I'm not and I will. Just to make sure I'm not out of my mind did that firmware drop this week?

Yes, beginning of the week. The app could happen automatically but what concerns me is the firmware should not. Join the forum. People there can help you with your settings. Read the link and info I posted earlier as well.

Yeah so I definitely did not update that, then. I will do that. Thanks for your help. I did get it figured out, just super concerning that my pumps were not on for quite a while with no notice.

The app will auto update if the device it is on is setup that way. The issue is the new app will not continue until you update the firmware. So the only way to access you unit once the new app was installed is to update the firmware but it will not do it automatically.
