    Updated WXM Firmware, Now Ecotechs go dead

    I noticed two of my modules had "old" listed on the firmware. I updated both modules (Link and WXM) and now list as OK. But I noticed all 4 of my ecotechs are now "missing". I figured I may need to reboot the controller and as is always the case when I fo any sort of firmware update, the controller locks up after a reboot. So a hard boot is needed and everything comes back up. Ecotechs still "missing" I go down stairs and they are all dead. Power them back on and they are no longer synced and after a few minutes they go dead again.


    I am figuring the auto firmware update I did is no good, not complete or in some way FUBAR'ed... If I try to do a manual update the apes sits at 0%.


    Suggestions?

    Unplug both wxm and Vortech for 30 seconds or so. plug in wxm, then plug in Vortechs right after, wait abt 5 mins, they should be “found” if not all are found do it again. It’ll find them after a few try’s.

    well did a memory reset on the pumps and they stay on now. Ironically one of the power supplies went dead. Go figure. Still can't get them to link. But I am redoing the entire system as I build the new fish room so Ill mess with it then.
