AI Director Beta - Who got picked? Lets talk 'Director'!

[Giovanni]

A little trick for those of you setting up the director. I have a tall tank so to reach my lights to push the red button is a pain. Here is how you get past that.

First turn all the lights off with the wireless controller you are currently using. On the same controller go into setup and select "setup lights" then select "wireless" when you hit the "OK" button it will disconnect all the lights and then start a searching for lights. As soon as it starts searching for lights unplug that controller. Now the indicator LED on all your lights will be red and you will be ready to connect the director.

I've gotten it setup on my computer but had some problems connecting wirelessly. I currently have it hard wired into my router which is in the basement and the lights are upstairs. I have no problems connecting to the lights so the director doesn't need to be close to the lights for those wondering.

Can anyone do a range test to see how far the director can be from the light and still control it?

 

[pwfletcher]

Problem ... can't connect wirelessly. Only one access point shows up and it's a neighbor's. Thoughts? Who can we contact to troubleshoot?

On the box it tells you "support.ai"

I have mine about 30ft away and it works fine.

Connecting to the Director through the my https://my.aquaillumination.com site works like a charm. I did not even have to set up a dynamic dns or make any router changes. Very slick!

When you double click on the lights in the layout screen you get a popup. Among other things it displays a temp. It seemed high (380-420 depending on the light), so I asked AI and got this response.

"These values are correct; they represent counts, not temperature. Lower means higher. It is for AI diagnostics only."

So no worries it is not really that high.

Jealous! Glad you guys got them running! And glad yours arrived a day early Gio!!

I should have mine in a few hours.

Mine came hours ago but still at work so it'll be a few more hours that I can get to it.

This maybe cause your internet WiFi is security blocked. I have mine setup that it won't even show up if some one searches for it. check your routers security settings

I had mine setup direct to the router so I tested it out with wireless. I only see my 2.4GHz network and not my 5.0GHz network. Could it be that you only have a 5.0GHz WiFi?

No, I have two networks set up ... one 5GHz and on 2.4GHz. It is not seeing either of them ;-(

 

[Giovanni]

What is the name of the 2.4GHz? What is your security setup?

 

[Sonicboom]

Are you using hidden SSID? If so try broadcasting it until you connect, then hide it again

LOL after seeing some of the screenshots, I just ordered mine.
