ParticipantI finally programmed all four of my timers… then realized that in doing so, I lost the smart watering feature, so my timers were sprinkling during the rain. So I now removed those programs and think I have programmed them all as “Smart.” Of course rain is in much of our future, so it is telling me we won’t water again for 11-12 days! Just to be sure they are working, and to have some fun, I thought I would manually start a spinkler. I get a message “starting Manual Watering” each time I try with a different timer. And then each time I receive a message back that it “Device is taking too long to respond” with an X and no watering happens. I have had some router problems, and Verizon installed a new one today. But… I have a solid green light on my hub, and frankly, the ability to manual water was spotty before. Does this have anything to do with my attempt to program them all as “smart.” It’s an “odd number day, so it is not restricted/prevented by my smart program. It is within the hours I specified as “don’t water within…” but I thought “manual” over rides all that. Do I have another problem? I don’t want to find out 12 days from now that something is wrong and it won’t water even if it is a good time.
Thanks.

ParticipantHello Jay Terwilliger, you may just need a firmware update for your hub, If I could please have that to push it? until then you could connect to then via Bluetooth to water them manually. Thank you.

ParticipantI don’t understand what I need to do to “please have that to push it?” How do I initiate a firmware update?

ParticipantI still have not heard about a firmware update for my hub. Ryan indicated it needed to be “pushed”, but I wasn’t sure if you do that or I do that, and if so, how?

ParticipantBased on reading some other firmware update requests, you may need some codes/addresses (I’m not sure which is which), but here is what I have:
My hub has a MAC address of 44675520796f. It is running firmware 0018
My timers are:
44675520796f running firmware 0032
44675520796f running firmware 0032
4467551183f0 running firmware 0032
446755116c0f running firmware 0032
Also, they say “WIFI Nil”Spread the love!August 14, 2018 at 7:27 pm #5965Jay Terwilliger
ParticipantI might have mixed up MAC addresses with bridge MAC
