A8 Pro II Max Troubleshooting

[Baykes]

Just got two of these lights delivered. The first set up fine but the second is not showing its SSID when I attempt to link it to the app. The physical buttons on the light itself are unresponsive so I can’t perform a reset. Anyone seen this before or think of something I could try?

Hi Everyone,

I created a little PDF guide to get the A8 Lights connected and working. It is not a full guide but I hope it helps

Thanks guys! In the end it was DOA and the seller allowed me to refund it. Got a replacement unit that setup fine out of the box. Very happy with these lights now.

Hi,

Thinking of getting 2 of these...how do you like them so far? Also, how user friendly is the app?

Check out the thread in the first reply. I find the app ok. Works fine, I set it and forget it. There are weird nuances about it though, such as, setting up each light individually.

Yeah app is fine. There is a weird issue I had with the time zones but there is a fix available. I believe it’s in that thread as well

Not sure what the problem is. Will not connect the light. Here's some pics of what the app is saying. I do not see where I can change the time zone. And also have my wifi set up on 2.4

Hello, I know there are a couple of threads regarding these lights. I've been running them for over a year and overall very happy. I'm curious if anyone has deciphered the qr code and engineered to make updating and importing new light schedules easier? I used a site to read the code and AI to understand it. Apparently, the qr code only saves 6 channels and not the full 8. Curious what others have found.
