Does anyone know what the difference in lighting on the vortech controller "W" symbols mean. Mine used to be solid white and now two of them are solid blue "W"'s and one is white, which also has an error red and orange blinking dial. I've been having problems with using ecosmart live, its been slow, finnicky. I tried doing upgrade to reeflink firmware which may have been successful, not sure. I tried doing firmware upgrade to vortech mp40 w QD (brand new) and I may have inadvertantly messed them up. I've been trying to unplug, to reset, to reboot. I've been running them for just 3 days, I finally had things working perfect today, then I messed it up by clicking on my things. The android app seems to always be snappier, work better etc.. today I also calibrated the xr30w pro gen III, i also tried connecting by usb for firmware update but option never showed. I also tried disabling the buttons on the controllers. I'm using reeflink. I have a few outlets connected to apex but with a constant on programming, no flux anymore. When I first put in apex i had no idea there was no power running to outlets until you turn them on.

Now I cannot manually change the speed of my vectra m1, or the two mp40's, one of which is blinking red/orange and is off. Everything has blue LED W's which I've never seen before except for the error mp40. This error used to be white/red blinking before I unplugged and plugged back in. All hardware was bought new this month.

I also had just fed the fish, and maybe some of the spirilina shrimp shorted the mp40? I had taken off the side foam guard because all I would get is food stuck to it. I've since lowered amount of food from two cubes to one for my four little fish, and even one cube seems to be too much . I have a 50 gallon cube tank. All pumps are run low speed.
 
Also my ecosmart live website been showing offline mode for reeflink intermittently today. Ever since the firmware upgrade possibly.....not sure anymore, but it just showed up again right now, and doesn't allow changes to equipment on ecosmartlvie.com website.
 
thank you

thank you


Thanks for the link. That was very informative. I had already tried doing the button sequences but all buttons are no longer operational. I called tech support, its a faulty dry side issue, they are sending me a new one 2 day air. Very nice customer service. Also, for you vectra guys out there, battery backup is not yet designed for the vectra, an additional accessory is needed which will be available soon. They recommended i not use the vectra connected to backup, just straight plug to outlet only for now. Secondly the blue w means its reeflinked controlled and that the controller is not operational. It shouldnt have been white W on controller, i had it wrong for the first 2 or 3 days.

And anything bought in the last month or two does not need any update whatsoever.
