Morning Reefers

I have a DD 1200 with 2 x Maxspect Jump L165 lights - I had both lights powered off for a few days and on reconnection, the app only finds one of the two lights.

I've tried everything I'm aware of to re-connect the light to the App, but nothing seems to work. I've followed the reset video on YouTube (where you need at least 3 hands), then try to add to the app, again following the YouTube video. It appears as a device when the app looks for new devices to add, but the connection then fails. I have the light in the mode where the blue is flashing on the unit (but that doesnt last very long). I've also tried to conenct when only standing on mu left leg and facing north, but that didnt help either :-).

My Android device is connected to the same 2.4G network that I'm entering in the setup.

I can get the unit into the manual mode where I can select from a number of preset on states, but cant connect to the app.

I've made a video (a few hands too few here also) to try and show whats going on:

Anyone cleverer than me able to see what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks
