javelin911 November 24, 2013 Share November 24, 2013 Anyone updated yet? This will be my first firmware update on the APEX so just want to see how it goes for others first. Doesn't sound like the cloud portion is available yet, but it will use this firmware... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanM November 24, 2013 Share November 24, 2013 I will try it for sure. Will glance over the apex forums to see if anyone is seeing any dealbreakers first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion November 24, 2013 Share November 24, 2013 I wonder if this will fix my outlet issue...? The #8 outlet won't work no matter what I plug into it. Emailed Neptune Support, and should get a reply on Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had that happen to me once on one of the mechanicals and the unplugging trick worked for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracy G November 24, 2013 Share November 24, 2013 Just updated mine and only issue so far is getting into the in network setup. When you go online works perfectly but in network still does not show dashboard anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldReefer November 24, 2013 Share November 24, 2013 Upgraded today. No problems at all. Still can't make my Foscam work, but that has nothing to do with upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanM November 24, 2013 Share November 24, 2013 Are the profiles any different? One of the features I want is the ability to do nicer light profiles by doing points on a graph instead of the terrible way it is done now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldReefer November 25, 2013 Share November 25, 2013 Are the profiles any different? One of the features I want is the ability to do nicer light profiles by doing points on a graph instead of the terrible way it is done now. Lighting Profiles still look the same. I think the big lighting changes come with the new. WXM and AI modules. Of course the big deal will be when they "cloud". all of this in a few weeks. Looks like big things are in the works. In the mean time, little additions like being able to directly see switch status, and the ability to name switches are really nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion November 25, 2013 Share November 25, 2013 (edited) Well this stinks. I don't own a computer that has an ethernet port. It won't let me update the firmware via a wireless connection. Nice. Edited November 25, 2013 by Orion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YHSublime November 25, 2013 Share November 25, 2013 Or Neptune is just living in the past with ancient programming Better watch out! If they created an upgrade to update via wireless will end up costing more than the adapter will Sorry for blowing this off topic, what is this update meant to do, is it worth rushing over to do?

Gadgets November 25, 2013 Share November 25, 2013 Well this stinks. I don't own a computer that has an ethernet port. It won't let me update the firmware via a wireless connection. Nice. I just did the update over wifi. Worked perfectly and faster than using Ethernet. I just upgraded to the new MBP retina and the new Airport Extreme. Wifi update was a breeze. I guess they don't recommend it because it can become an issue for people without a reliable wireless connect or crappy router. You should just give it a go if you have a decent router. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was hesitant to do the update over wireless when it gave a big warning saying specifically not to do it over wireless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanM November 25, 2013 Share November 25, 2013 So far i am uninterested in installing it, even though I thought i would jump on it. Naming changes are purely cosmetic and not functional at all. I dont have any of the new modules, and i am capable of finding help on the internet instead of a menu. Looks like zero functional changes for non AI or ecotech owners. I would have loved changes to the awful profile scheme where every change in a ramp slope requires another profile creation and another edit of the programming of the outlet that uses it, or change the marginally functional programming language if you want a good enhancement.

Neptune wants me to send in my EB8 for a repair on the #8 outlet. Trying to get them to send an advanced replacement so I don't have any down time.

wade November 25, 2013 Share November 25, 2013 I am planning on doing this today. While I was out of town last week my Apex stopped communicating with reeftronics and I couldn't log in remotely. My IP is correct - it pings and traces just fine. It is either my Apex or my wifi connector. Will patch today and see how it goes and hope to get my internet connectivity back! Related topic: My Reeflink has been working pretty well. Just waiting for Ecotech to get the vortechs programmable by it and put out the android app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
