hydra 52 setup question

[scottmccray]

From my phone I am trying to set up 2 hydra 52s. From the app it finds them and asks me to name them. I have named one and made it the parent then it asks for the network to use then it goes to configure. Then it says searching for hydra 52 and can't find them again? it says "We were unable to find your device. Please make sure you are connected to the same network as the hydra FiftyTwo. If you know the device's ip address, enter it below." I don't know the ip address of the hydra 52? What do I do? :headwalls:

They are a little quirky with multiple devices, but you're on the right track. Instead of using a mobile device, I connected my computer to the built-in wifi SSD on the one I wanted to be the parent/master. After connected and in the interface, pair it to the home wifi network so it's not using the default one anymore. After that is done, connect the computer back to the home wifi. If you can log into your home router, there should be a "DHCP log" you can look at to determine what IP address has been assigned to the Hydra. (Each IP address listed should correspond to a 12 digit alphanumeric MAC address, which you can match to the one listed on the box or card that came with the light.) Once you have this, just punch the IP address into the web browser on your computer (Probably 192.168.x.x, or something similar.) At this point, you'll be back in the web interface and you can pick the other light from available child devices and it should pair up with the first one.

Thanks Gimpy, I'll give that a try.
