reeflink lost connectivity with one Vortech

[Gary Majchrzak]

I don't know if this was related to our brief power outage this morning (ice storm) but it would be interesting to find out if it was.

My Radions and two Vortechs remained unaffected- however, one Vortech seemed to get stuck in a mode it should have switched out of.
Bringing up the reeflink showed all my devices but the one funky Vortech had gone "dim". A refresh of devices got it back on track.

Has anybody else experienced something similar?

Don't know if you're new to Reeflink Gary, but it's very quirky, have had to start entirely over setting it up several times. It has gotten better over the past couple years, but something often goes haywire after power outages, WiFi reboots etc.

Not to be a Debbie Downer but I concur With John. Very temperamental. I switched To settingbit up via Ecosmartlive by hardwiring into my laptop with USB. Radions still took a stroll on their own from time to time. Ecosmartlive can also be a little unreliable as well. Frustrating. Looks great on paper, but I sold My Reeflink. Way less issues. Ecotech has a lot of frustrated users if you do searches on here.

I'm attempting to make things more stable.
What have I done!

This is why I sold my reeflink and bought the VDM for the apex. Haven't ever had an issue with that setup in 3 years.

Do you mean the wxm? I have a reeflink and I agree it is kinda a pain as it loses connectivity every so often.

What do people think of the wxm for controlling vortechs

Ecotech makes great lights & pumps. There's no denying that. It's to bad they didn't take the time with R&D on their software that they did with the rest of their products.
After my horrible experiences with Ecotech Live. I held off buying the Reeflink when it first came out. And I was so glad I did. The thing is. Hmmm How shall I put this. An incomplete product
