    Do you recall which version you were on before? Was that to the current version (4.12_5A12)? Using windows or mac to update?

    How did you fix it?

    I was using Windows to update. I believe that I am using the latest non-beta firmware. To restore the old firmware just download it from Neptune's website and apply it the same-way as the beta. The only thing that was really affected by the rebooting were my LED lights.

    So you were able to downgrade or did you eventually get it to work with the new firmware?

    I've been contemplating on updating my firmware. I'm still on 4.10. Are you running the latest?
    Yeah, new app......I'm on 4.11 update and I can turn on and off but when I try to program a pop-up comes up saying I need the new firmware.
    I simply can't trust people that don't like bacon,

    I was able to downgrade and left it alone after that. I will try again when they release a more stable version.

    I spoke to a friend who just did the newest firm ware update. I have not done it so I am quoteing someone else,but it is a person who I trust and he also really helped me get thru the apex and the vdm programing. If you do the latest firm ware update be prepared to completely reprogram yourmApex !! He had to identify all his outlets and reprogram them. Since he is running six dc -8's I will take his word on it and will hold off tell he has time to help me thru it !! Lmao. I do love the app tho !!

    I might give upgrading a try over the holidays. Need to make sure I have time to deal with it if doesn't go smoothly.

    He was able to use the new app ? I can accesses my apex from android still by useing the IP but still need to update any changes I make unlike the apple app which is a simple on off choice and then done. I did not try to change programming of outlets with the app tell someone responded that you had tp upgrade the firm ware. They are correct. Even without the upgrade the app works well for everyday use. I really like the separated charts and the fact you don't have to update or race to update to get simple on off changes done. I run three DC 8's ,six led's and a vdm so I have over 30 boxes to go thru. Anything that makes it easier is an improvement to me.
