I’m afraid that my lights are possibly bricked. The app update and now I can’t connect to lights unless I setup WiFi. Scan fails (no WiFi is picked up) and I cannot directly connect as it brings up an error message saying to connect to WiFi first.

Anyone have custom driver/controllers built for this using the ESP32. This app is a nightmare.

Or can someone be so kind to help me figure this out

Try this?
Yea there’s a bug in the update pack. Remove the app and reinstall. When it prompts you to do the update pack decline it.

HOW MUCH DOES A FISH’S FEEDING REQUIREMENTS AFFECT YOUR STOCKING DECISIONS?

  • A lot! - I avoid fish that require frequent or specialized feeding

  • Quite a bit, but an automatic feeder can change my answer

  • It depends on whether my nutrient export can handle it

  • It depends on how badly I want the fish

  • Not much. I’m willing to adjust my routine

  • Not at all. Feeding demands don’t limit my stocking choices

  • I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!

  • I haven’t really considered this before
