    FMM flashing orange light

    Two of my 4 FMM modules are not working properly. One light is out and the other light is flashing orange. Both have power supplied to them and show up in the Module Listing but have a triangle with an explanation mark under status. Firmware was updated prior to this post. Did not change condition. What's going on here?

    Try resetting them. Using a paper clip ( for example) push in on the little hole just next to the aquabus ports
    ifvthst doesn't work pull a aquabus cable from one, then remove it from the system in the web interface reboot the system and then see if it rejoins with no problem if any of those work do it to all of them if not contact support

    The FMM with the flashing light reset. The one without a light is still dead. Will contact customer support. Thank you for your assistance.

    This evening I had an FMM stop reading two sensors, they were frozen with a GPH reading even though no flow was going through them. I looked and had the flashing orange light on the status led. Pulled the aquabus and it reset and appears to be working. Did you get any insight on what the flashing orange light means?

    I had this issue and it turned out to be the FMM firmware was old on my FMM module. I updated the firmware via the local aquacontroller setup screen and I'm back in business. I also realized my WXM module was out of date and updated that as well.

    Well that wasn't the case for me. Everything was updated and running fine for about a month or so. It was somewhat random.
