So I woke up this morning to seeing an alert in my phone that my Inkbird was not connected to the internet. I just recently found how to turn on the alert to tell me when it’s offline because a few weeks ago, my power strip failed and I came home to find my tank at 69. Immediately this morning I thought I had another power failure, but the device was powered on. I searched all over the app to see if there was an option to try and reconnect it because my WI-Fi is currently working. Couldn’t find any option for that. So I broke out the manual and still nothing. I decided to remove the device and try to factory reset the controller as described in the manual. “Hold the power/down arrow for 2 sec”. Okay, it turned off. “Hit the power button to power on and the device will sound alarm. Your device is reset”. Turns on but no beep. WI-Fi is flashing fast. So I go to add a device on the app and first try the ez set up. This never works with any smart controller I have in the house so I wasn’t expecting it to work on this and it did not as usual. I hold the WI-fi/up button and it starts flashing slowly. I try to add the device again in AP mode the same way I do with all my smart bulbs/outlets. I go to connect through the network created by the controller “smart-xxx” and it still won’t connect. Anyone have any advice? The controller still keeps my temp, but the whole point of this was to have access and alerts from anywhere!
