can you let me know what to do either way? I took that strip offline, I’ll need to readdress tomorrow.
Yes a collective. My Wi-Fi has 2.4 and 5 on different band names, albeit same password, as it’s always been. I did switch routers and now it has a 6ghz as well, also a different name but same password. I changed the device master and replaced the feeder but same thing. Should I maybe change Wi-Fi passwords even though channel names are already different?
If the name is different it should be ok. When you do a paring make sure the device with the app you are using is also on the wifi channel you want the device being paired to be on. It could be an issue with the wifi feeder if a wifi strip will pair without an issue. Also another issue is that the router thinks that the device is a threat since the way that it communicates with the controller and is blocking the communications. Guest networks are known for doing this also.
It’s both the feeder and WiFi strip. It is a new router, however. Comcast came and had to update our internet. I had no issues connecting all my devices to the network, actually the feeder and WiFi strip were both working fine until yesterday when I had to completely reprogram my collective after it was deleted. So, it was working fine, and now not.
If both the wifi strip and controller are connected to wifi and both on the same wifi channel on the router and still cannot communicate it sounds like the router may be blocking the communications and considers it a threat. Not sure what that setting is. The easiest way around that is to use a access point with it's own name and have it connected to the main router with a wired connection so the router does not consider it a threat since it is a wired connection. I have used old routers as access points. Most can be set for use as a access point. You would have to check the manual on the one you have if you have one that is not in use you can use.
Yea not too sure since it was communicating just fine as of yesterday. Lots of headaches with Hydros for me lately it seems. Partially me I’ll have to admit, but getting tired of tinkering with this stuff. I spend more time dealing with the controllers than I do my tank.
I’m trying to verify that all my devices have the correct password. When I go to the main screen and hit add, my X10 isn’t showing up. Any reason/way to get it there? My collective is 4 devices, the XP8, WELE, X3, and X10. The other 3 show up fine. I’m wondering if maybe this is my issue linking the WiFi devices?
Have you tried rebooting the X10 in the app. It would be in the right menu under device properties.
Ok, so the reboot worked. Manually went through and reentered all my passwords. Feeder still wouldn’t link up. I had a brand new feeder as a spare that I was able to link up so that’s a start. Issue now is that feeder is no good apparently, it won’t spin, even hitting the manual gray button I get nothing. When I go to hit manual feed in the app, it forces the tile “on” but nothing. I don’t recall the feeder tile always being lit up, only when it was feeding. Am I wrong on that? Any feeder trouble shooting? Think I got a bad feeder..
The wifi feeder tile in wifi devices is highlighted. The feeder output itself will not be.
Ok, copy. It was definitely highlighted blue. Probably something wrong with it. I’ll try again later to fully reinstall it, not sure why it’s linking up but physically unable to spin and the tile always blue.
You able to get this fixed? I’m still dead in the water with WiFi devices..
