Radions...ready to throw out the window
Does anyone else have problems with the programming or am I an idiot?? I reset the programming on my lights last weekend. Got rid of the clouds and lightening. I'm using one of Subman's profiles, have no other profiles set up but my lights do whatever they want. All week, before 8 am, they are blazing. It's almost 10 am sat and they aren't even on yet. Last night at midnight I thought I had a blue lightening storm as the 3 fixtures were flashing at different times.
I've checked for updates, nothing new, I've reset them. Schedule is to run from 11 am to 10 pm with sunrise/sunset set for hour intervals. I love the look of these and the lighting is great but so frustrated with the programming. Any suggestions? |

Maybe you should shoot an email to ecotech marine for some info, no one is going to be better at explaining and diagnose your issues then the manufacture IMO. I know your frustration as I had a similar experience with my AI's but their customer service was really impressive. Good luck.

They're pretty easy to program....er, once you've done it. I hada similar issue whe I first received mine, it was a very simple solution to the point of almost being embarrassing but still I was getting increasingly frustrated, I simply did not click on the group to be programmed...
I'm assuming you have, but did you watch the programming video. If that doesn't help, set them back to factory setting.

I know they should be easy to program..... I've reset to factory and started from scratch to see if this will set the way I want. I don't need to play with these, just trying get some consistency. I've gone through the video and manual....if this doesn't work will go to ecotech for help.
Thanks |

Another hint is to first plug in the usb without the ecotech software running. Then start the software. I had issues if I didn't do it in that order.

I am having issues with one of mine as well and I sent an email to ecotech and have to say their service is incredible. Give it a shot.

I plug the USB in and have to click on the ecotech link to get it going so that's not a problem. If this continues with the random lighting I will follow up with ecotech. |

Try this...
1. Unplug the power. Important step.
2. Plug in USB to computer. 3. Reset it. 4. Reprogram or use natural mode. 5. Set the time. 6. Program it. 7. Unplug USB. 8. Wait for 3 mins. 9. Plug the power in. 10. Try it again. Mine went dead. Yes, completely dead. These steps worked for me. |
