MP40 2015 - how to upgrade to Mobius?

[mmbaba]

I (mistakenly) bought a 2015 MP40. The pump and controller is working fine but I'm stuck without being able to hook it up to Mobius.

I'm a complete noob to the Ecotech Marine ecosystem, so I'm really confused by the variety of upgrade paths.

It seems that the black RF chip is no longer being sold - is that correct?
It also seems that the replacement MP40 controllers (https://aquacave.com/ecotech-marine-vortech-mp40wes-to-mp40wqd-controller-upgrade.html) do not include the RF chip - is that correct?

If that's all true... how can I get this pump hooked up to the Mobius app?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks @eggie, yeah - I already went through that. I know it’s not compatible right now (green RF chip and blue (QuietDrive) motherboard).

My question is how can I make it compatible, if the Mobius RF chips are not available and the replacement controllers do not include a Mobius RF chip?

Thanks

Only the ones compatible could be upgrade
