Some folks have had issues upgrading to the new firmware where they update the firmware, and after the device restarts, the STATUS screen is empty. Updating to firmware 186 is a two-step process that is done seamlessly.
Step 1: Download and Install the Firmware
This is a simple process where you tap on the popup prompts to get the device to download the firmware.
Step 2: Migrate Settings from Old format to New Format.
This is the step that some folks are missing. After the device reboots, go into the app and connect to the device again. As soon as you do, you will see an ORANGE status bar at the bottom of the screen that reads "Upload Required Now." All you need to do is tap on that bar to finish the process. After you do that, your pumps will show up on the STATUS screen.

- From the STATUS screen, tap on the hamburger icon on the upper-left-hand corner and then select OUTPUTS. Make sure you can see your pumps!
- Then go back to the main menu and select SCHEDULES. Make sure you can see your flow schedules.
- If you see everything, go into a pump or a schedule and make a small change to prompt the app to show you the UPLOAD NOW bar. Tap to migrate and upload your settings!
