    Getting the AWM to attach to the lights

    So I've plugged in the AWM, updated the firmware to the latest versions and I'm trying to follow the 5-step process in the user guide to attach the lights. I'm not having any luck. I just wanted to confirm I'm doing the right thing because I'm not really seeing the 'attach' button the docs talk about.

    Here's the default page after I select the AWM from the 'modules' page:


    .. and here's the page after I change the pulldown to 'Configure':



    Is the 'Attach' button that they're talking about in the docs that checkbox next to 'Attach lights' ? I sort of got the impression it'd be a button next to the 3 at the top, but I don't see anything other than the 'attach lights' checkbox, and nothing changes if I select it and save changes.

    I've tried attaching the lights by holding the red button down on the AI Hydra52, waiting for it to flash red/green, then click on the checkbox. Nothing happens. If I continue to hold down the button on the Hydra, it stops flashing red/green, stays dark for a bit, then flashes green only for a bit. Releasing the button on the AI at any of these times doesn't seem to make a difference, neither does when I click on the checkbox.

    So, am I missing a button ? Am I just not getting lucky with the wireless attaching ? Something else ?

    Many thanks in advance for any help

    I can see why you're confused here, Space. Before it used to be a button. Where you press it and the AWM would send a signal to any AWMs in the room. But, with this new interface here. It's not a button anymore. it's a check box. So what you want to do is click the attach lights check box. Than click the orange button on the top right. It should do basically the same thing as the push button would have done. See if that works for ya. Keep us posted

    Oh and if it did work the Lights attach and are wirelessly hooked up the Status part should 'refresh' and will appear with the title of the light, like Hydra_3_1, under the REV 1.1.1 F=17 (0,0)

    So, it'll look like what I wrote out below. If it doesn't than it hasn't. Keep at it or keep us posted
