How do I add a new Vortech to my reeflink? I tried add devices VIA wireless but it's not finding the new MP10. I've tried a few times.
I am back testing the beta program
I turn on the reeflink and get automatic software upgrade. It seems working now. I create an aquarium profile, drag and drop the reeflink icon to the "box".
(1) There is a bug that when I save the aquarium layout, the site refreshes and goes to "searching devices" mode and times out because it can't find Radion (I don't have Radion). I guess you test the site with Radion installed. Try to reproduce it by dismantling the Radion.
(2) A bug that when I click Aquarium Layout, it does not go to the Aquarium Layout. Also when I click Vortech, it does not go to Vortech.
(3) A bug that says You are currently offline... once you get connected you must program your light... Not sure why. I just logout and login and get that message. Then the next message is "searching devices", timeout, can't find Radion. This is bug is persistent and annoying.
I already create the Vortech schedule but now I can't go to the schedule anymore. Every time I login to the site, I get bug #3. Running IE private mode does not help.
To start, you must be using a ReefLink. If you are, after finding devices wirelessly, you should see a Missing Devices link on the left. Click that then click the Add Legacy VorTech button. That will take you through updating and importing your pump.
TardFarmer,
I had the same type of issues with my vortechs getting connected. In order to slove the problem i did this recipe:
1) Log out of ESL
2) turn off the reeflink by removing the power
3) turn on the reeflink
4) turn off all radions and all vortechs and remove from power
5) sign into ecosmart live
6) take one vortech individually power it on and then do a reset on the vortech ( hold mode and set after it turned on until flashing red white and blue then hold mode till red and purple, then hold set and the vortech will reset)
7) do this for all your vortechs, then remove the power from all of them again with the radions still off
8) now do the update firmware again per each individual vortech and after each one is complete and ESL prompts you do upgrade another vortech say no.
9) Then go to add devices via wireless, add the vortech you just updated ( so the power must stay on after the firmware update) rename the pump so you know hwich one is which.
10) repeat steps 8) and 9) for each for vortech making sure to turn them off after you place them in your ESL aquarium
11) It is a long process, but this is how i got it to work
Let me know if you have any questions and i can try to help you. I was successful using these steps

Tried all these steps but every time i head over to ESL for the Firmware update and follow the instructions to hold down Set and Mode the damn thing always blinks red white and blue instead of just red and white....then when i hit NEXT on ESL it then says hold SET till it flashes Green and Blue...then only way i can get it to greek and blue is by hitting Mode...when i hold down SET it does NOTHING.
Not for nothing im seriously disgusted with this...im just trying to control one lousy pump and ive wasted 3 hrs on this damn thing. Right now i think this is one big waste of time and money.
If anyone has any more tips please post it here...im ready to just unplug this thing and smash it against my wall thats how frustrated i am with it.
Thanks again guys

DrugMonkey you may be holding set and mode too long. I have seen the red, white and blue blinking lights as well but I unplugged the controller and started over. I made sure that I released the set and mode buttons as soon as I saw red and white. Quickly releasing the buttons may help so that you can move on the the next steps.
Wow, I'd be ****ed at myself too if I had made that mistake.
Let's try to get to the bottom of this issue. So do you have VorTechs in your profile already? The new aquarium wizard is more tailored to starting with Radions and then adding VorTechs after the fact. I could also take a look at your profile on the backend to see if something is wrong. I just need to know your login email. You could private message me that if you like.
Can I register a new ecotech live account if purchased a pre-owned Radion from the market?
