I have 3 Hydra 26 HD's they worked fine for the past year. Then I tried to link them to a newly purchased Apex controller. Thats when all the trouble began. I called Apex for help and they ended up leaving me with no working lights and my Hydra wifi network gone. the next morning I was on the phone with AI tech support. After 3 calls they got my Hydras working. Yesterday I decided I wanted to change the ramp time at sunset. After I did that the lights seemed to be OK, but after a couple of minutes they all shut off [for about3 seconds] then came back on. they continued to do that until they ramped down for the night. This morning they came on normally but were still turning on and off. I've done a complete reset of the lights but now all 3 just blink blue/green blue/green. Any ideas of what I can do? Really don't want to wait until Monday to call AI. Thanks

Unplug them for 15 seconds and start from scratch. I don't have an Apex, but have had connectivity issues. Also, how strong is your Wi-Fi signal at that location? The signals do change with metallic objects, large objects put in the path.
I have also had that issue. Like Phil D I just unplugged and went around doing the rest of tank maintenance and plugged back in. I did have to reprogram but since I have 6 in that room on various tanks I have done it enough that it only took a couple of minutes. Interestingly, all the lights are independent and the problem was just that one. It has worked flawlessly since - close to a year.
