Nothing.
Simply plug RA* to the ethernet port on your router.

Do you need a wireless setup?
If you don't, you just need to connect to your internet router directly.
If you do want to go wireless, this module should work as long as it can act as a wireless client. I can't remember if they do. I'll send you the ones I have tested in the past.

On my unit I have to hold reset button down until after compile then release it....It will then load after playing with the reset button. I have two RA+ and they both do that.

Hope that will help

OK, got the client router and it works BUT I can't find the documentation on how I get my connected Reef Angel Star to take code remotely or stream my settings.

Is there another manual I'm not seeing? What is the process?

Thanks!

Were you able to load your code at least once using the cable through the webwizard?

Does it say cloud connected on status page of the controller?

Yes lol

I just don't dont know what to do to make the wizard push code to it & to get my app to see it. My app doesn't seem to see the new controller (still sees the RA+ on the local network). Maybe my port & ip are wrong? Where do I verify?

Any setup instructions??

Is always says:

Progress: 100.00%
Your code was compiled sucessfully.

Remote upload firmware is ready.
Your Reef Angel Star should download and start the new firmware next time it connects to the server.
This process may take up to 5 minutes.

My code has the correct encryption // RA_STRING1=U2FsdGVkX19X+4/68xPrebFiXyZaGhB7f6S5dcIGZjg=


Thanks again for all of your help

That's it.
It will update itself next time it connects to the portal.

Why won't the app see it?

Not sure how to find the port & IP of the RA* but it still sees my local RA+

I am assuming you are using the web based uapp, correct?
http://forum.reefangel.com/uapp
When setting up the new profile, you must leave port and ip address blank. If you already entered something, it is best to delete the profile and add another one.

So it connects to the web based Uapp - but the labels do not come over and it logs me out every time it gets closed.

The iPhone App does not connect at all. It is the latest version.

You need to download labels. Click the menu and you will see the option.
The iPhone app hasn't been updated to work with the new cloud server

As for the labels, yes, I did that and nothing shows up. I guess I'll keep trying over time bc whatever bugs we are having with the RA* is preventing me from really using this like I did the RA+. I'll document what I did so far so people who buy it next can follow along.

Good to know about the iphone. I hope we can see that updated soon so I don't have to go through the login process every time I want to see parameters.

Thanks for all of your help and quick replies.
