Click on the "Layout" option underneath your light group. Then, adjust the layout of the sunrise/sunset pattern and input an offset time (traveling time between fixtures).

I haven't had a chance to try this again...I plan to try again this weekend...hopefully it goes better this time. I plan to do the factory reset/firmware process metioned earlier in this thread.
Has anyone tried using a system-on-a-chip like the Rapsberry Pi to create an internet connection for the Radions?
Might be an inexpensive way to create a persistent internet connection without having to be plugging them into a computer which kind of defeats the purpose of having Ecosmart Live, at least until the hardware comes with wifi.

ok i'm done with these D@%# Lights.i have give up on the Ecosmart live stuff and have been just using EcoSmart Config Utility.i just when in to do my every other week calibrating so they will have the same light color.and it had to do a Update Firmware.now my lights don't work right they will not turn off with the top buttons and do not want to change from a blue light to a green light.now when i can get the lights to turn off the light stay on a little and every lens has different leds light colors on.so i tried to calibrate all my lights again still will not turn all the way off and now the light on top that is blue or green go from blue to a white color then if i hold that button down long enough it will go to the green light and it is the same way when i go back to the blue light.i just want EcoSmart Config Utility to work like it did before this Ecosmart live junk.i do not want to look at my tank no more because of these lights I really have come to hate them. these lights cost to much money to have to deal with all of this.that why i paid more money so i would not have to deal with this stuff.this is the first thing i have ever bought of EcoTech and it just might be the last.i should not have to but i can live with having to do a every other week calibrating on the lights but when the lights will not turn off right or turn from Artificial light to Natural light right and every time i use EcoSmart Config Utility i have to do a factory reset now.:headwallblue::headwallblue::headwallblue::headwallblue::headwallblue::debi:

ok i got the lights to turn all the way off.the Update Firmware did not say OS failed this time.now this has me lost when i was calibrating the lights Royal Blue 2 was on so i did not have to click no to i see it so i click yes and it blink like if i would clicked on no.i can click yes all day but if i click no it will move to the next color if i don't see that color and click no it work fine but if i can see that color it is the same thing i will have to click no to get it to move to the next color.if i want to do a demo or a storm mode sometimes they work together and sometimes they don't or when i turn it back to Artificial lighting or Natural lighting.sometimes one will and the other one will stay in demo or a storm mode to i make it go to Artificial lighting or Natural lighting. every time i open EcoSmart Config Utility Update Firmware try to update and it tell me everything is up to date. i guess i don't know what to try next.
I had the same feeling when I was calibrating. As long as you see a light click yes until the light goes off then click no. It will then move you to the next color. Every time you click yes I think the intensity is lowered.

It asks me to browse to a file on my hard drive to update the firmware.
Where can I download the latest version?

That happened to me today too while trying to setup a new Radion.
I had one of the older firmwares on my hd so I tried that just to see if it would run, then maybe it would run automatically the next time to get the latest firmware, but I got a fatal error at the end and now connection manager can't see the radion at all. Neither can the old pc software. So you probably don't want to try that. Maybe it was a problem with the servers?
Looks like I'll be calling tech support on monday. :celeb1:

It's not a problem with the servers.
I have noticed that i cannot update the firmware via the connection manager since day 1.

Another two hours today and I'm completely frustrated...I have done a factory reset on all my lights. I was forced to do this using the old ecotech configuration utility because ecotech live doesn't recognize my lights. Anyway after the factory reset I tried to update the firmware, again using the old config utility because ecotech live doesn't recognize my lights, and it said no firmware update was necessary...?? I have tried rebooting, starting the connection manager, connecting to ecotechlive, connecting the radions by usb. Doesn't work. Next I tried connecting to ecotechlive, starting the connection manager then connecting the radion...doesn't work. I then removed connection manager, rebooted my machine, connected to ecotechlive, downloaded connection manager, started connection manager, connected my lights...no dice. I'm not sure what else to try at this point. I have over three years software quality assurance testing and have to say based on my experience I do not believe this software is ready for beta testing. I welcome any suggestions or assistance anyone can offer.
