Power outage- Doser not establishing connection?

[Reefahholic]

Why would this happen and what can I do to fix it. I’m try to connect with my iPhone.

More info needed.. what’s the rest of the set up? Stand alone unit? Plugged into a controler? Please elaborate on your set up.

Could be several reasons...if this is a Standalone doser where wifi was configured using AUTO IP, maybe the router decided to assign a new IP to the doser. In that case, you would have to find out what that new IP address is and update it in your app connection settings.

It’s a 2.1 SA. No controller. Usually connect with my phone via WiFi.

Ok, I will take a look. Can this been done from my phone or do I need to check from my laptop?

Another question I have is will the doser continue normal operation when power comes back on. Like same schedule and dosing regimen?

Also, I have a 2.4 and 5.0 WiFi speeds. Does it matter which it’s on?

 

[Vinny@GHLUSA]

If you have an app on your phone that can ping IP address from within your network, yes that's an option too.
Otherwise, you can use a computer to get the information.

Internet connectivity and dosing schedules are independent of each other. If internet connection is lost, the dosing schedule continues uninterrupted.

Doser should only connect to 2.4ghZ

Is power currently out or has it come back?

Awesome. I feel a lot better now. Let me try to ping the IP address, and i’ll get back.

Power has come back but it’s a disaster in Houston right now. Flooding and continuous rain. I’m just trying to get things prepared for tonight!

Vinny, it’s one of these. Not sure which one.

 

[Reefahholic]

So it’s got to be 135. 100% packet loss now.

Are you able to connect to the doser via a PC and the USB interface? Once connected to the doser you should be able to see the IP address it's using.
Mind you I don't own a SA doser but most software when you look at it has this capability.

Also when you search for a WiFi network does it show up on the list of available networks?

Those 10.0.0.XXX IP addresses look odd for a home network item. Normally home network items are 192.168.X.XXX But I'm not familiar with your home system so I'm just speculating.

 

[Vinny@GHLUSA]

One way to verify if that's actually the doser on .135 is to look at your router settings and see the network map. Look for the doser in the map and the assigned IP.
