I need some help connecting my MP60s to the WE. Ive watched the video and am only able to get to the step where you pair the pump and the light on the MP blinks blue and yellow. What do you do after this? I have setup the pumps as generic outputs but cant figure out the rest of this. I had done this with MP40s and got it to work but am missing something now.
 
I have done that and gotten up to step 7 but cant get the pumps to pick up one of the three signals. The firmware has been downgraded so that is not the issue. Do i need to do something like set a schedule to make the WE send out a signal?
 
I thought that worked but my Ecotech controllers still dont switch to an orange, cyan, or white signal. They just blink red and blue after I do the pairing step.
 
I am going to ask an obvious question. Do you have the WE-ETM version? Did you purchase the version that comes with the ETM chip? If not, then it will not work.
 
What Carlos said - confirm your version of the WE is Ecotech ….

If it is - I would try to follow the written instructions here:

HYDROS WaveEngine - How to Connect EcoTech Marine VorTech Pumps

The WaveEngine controls EcoTech VorTech pumps wirelessly but does not power them. Combine MP10wQD, MP40wQD, and MP60wQD pumps with pumps from other brands!

Make sure you do step 5 - if they stay blue/red check distance from controller ???
 
Yes I did.

One of the pumps had a bad RF chip. Im waiting on a replacement from Ecotech. I wonder if the other is bad as well
 
When I get to the end of step 7 and press and hold the mode button, the controller goes to blinking white. If I press and hold mode again it goes back to whatever color it was before
 
Try press and release

  • Press and release the “Mode” button to set the ETM pump controller to different positions.
    • WHITE = Same Side
    • ORANGE = Opposite Side
    • CYAN = Back
