I've had a lot of weird things going on with all my phone required devices since my phone upgraded to Android 11. I've managed to find weird ways around it all, but it is annoying. I noticed someone else mentioned having a pixel in here as well and I'm wondering if the early Android bump for us is relevant to everything bugging out.
While I don't own these pumps, I do have a note 20 and got the android 11 update the other day. I too have noticed some things that have an app to control are little wonky since the update.

I *really* want these pumps to work. Even with the issues are they worth buying? I have an unopened BRS 1.1ml/min pump that I’m considering sending back because I don’t want to burn an Apex outlet to control it (no built in programming on the pump).

Even with this hang up, you can't beat it for the price point. I'd buy another one. It seems like something is up with the latest Android update and app, but I got mine working and it sounds like others did as well.

I got mine working but I had to set it a different way. I'm calling them Monday. I'll let everyone here know what they say.

Not this brand, but I had to manually relink a doser after my update and had to put my phone in airplane mode, then wifi only - in order to get it to work.

Buy a kasa smart powerstrip.
I love my 3x BRS 1.1ml programs :)
And i can turn them on and off remotely if needed.

Fixed thanks, I also had to unplug and reset the dosers
Glad you got it working. Took me 6 days to figure it out. I even went ahead and ordered my dosing supplies in bulk while I had the money because my tank seemed insatiable.
Well. That wasn't the case.

yes my alk dropped to 6.6, tested today usually once a week but might have missed without the thread.

Why is this happening to all of us? Update?

I have had the same problem. Alkalinity PLUMMETED over the weekend (from 8.8 to 5.5) since the pump wasn't dosing All For Reef. There must be an explanation for something like this, as I would have lost all stony coral if I wasn't home to notice something was wrong...

@CoralVue got back to me. They just want to switch the unit out. Need to make them aware this isn't just one unit.

I went ahead and shared this thread on the CoralVue sponsor page with a description of the problem I experienced. Hopefully someone replies there with an explanation.

I would encourage anyone that's having issues to contact CoralVue support. I know folks aren't around during the weekend so week days are best. Also the best way to get in contact are always either submitting a ticket WWW.coralvue.com/support . or you can email directly [email protected]

Just out of curiosity are all of you using Android devices?

Also what is the name and version of the App you folks are using ?
