I would rather the GHL team focus on making the P4 fully functional, instead of the partially functioning beta version it currently runs.

What sort of things are you missing out on with the P4 or what isn't functioning?

 

[Dawsokj1988]

Well, I don't want to go on a rant, but I'll discuss some of my current frustrations. I know the P4 is new and is experiencing "growing pains," yet I wish I knew I was going to become a beta tester before I purchased lol. A few things that are not currently operational include the webserver and the profilux app. I haven't really heard a timeline on when these will be complete, but I was under the impression that these were all functioning before I purchased. After learning that they weren't, I went and read the fine print. Also, myghl seems to be about 50/50 right now for functionality.

There are a few other things like the conductivity probe not performing correctly for several users. There have even been users who have virtually eliminated all variables by connecting a p3 up with the same probe right next to the p4, and the p4 values drift downwards while the p3 stays constant. It's hard to blame on microbubbles in cases like this. Also, small things such as when I updated my GCC to the current version, my doser 2 now errors out when I connect. The only variable that changed was the GCC. I had to download an older version, which worked. I feel like I've achieved a major feat everytime I get something to successfully work (like wifi, or registering the p4 and doser 2 on myghl), rather than simply installing and moving forward with my day.

the folks at GHL haven't been able to walk you through or resolve these items for you rather immediately when you call or email them for support?

I know this feeling all too well haahaa!

Always contact Vinny or Marco and post to the GHL forum. Also if you do Facebook join the GHL Users group. I have always had great user support. If you have a problem always good to the source so that can help with fixing an issue.

 

[Dawsokj1988]

I agree that GHL has always responded to issues. There customer support via the forums is very good. This wasn't what I was stating; I was simply expressing my opinion that I'd rather they focus on completing already released products before introducing new products.

 

[Dumaurier7]

I see the other thread had been revived so I'm doing the same to this one [emoji51].......has there been any progress with this? Are there any progress updates?

 

[Reefer525XL]

I was told by Matthias that the P4 has the highest priority right now. My interpretation on that statement is to not expect any news on the Kh Director anytime soon.

 

[reefwiser]

An here is the thread on the GHL fourm .
I really don't expect to hear anything till MACNA at the earliest.

 

[Scythanith]

It's almost June. Honestly, are you just holding this until MACNA?

 

[Eric Tang]

Following...

 

[reefwiser]

I would think so.

 

[Dogtown]

This thread was started in February stating a few days. Is there an update from GHL?

 

[Janci]

No updates so far.

No updates so far.

From what I've heard the main focus is the P4 so for now the Kh director has been put on hold.
