Bluefish Lighting preview issue

So have had my bluefish hooked up and its working. I have been talking to Spencer about an odd issue I am having and wanted to see if any other users have encountered this.. In either the new app or older app when I go into Settings/Lighting/Morning (for example). then select preview nothing happens. I can't preview my settings and the light on the bluefish doesn't change either. It also doesn't work to preview the lighting. It does however work when going into preview photo mode. So completely stummped. I have tried on my Iphone 6plus running ios 9.02 and my ipad running ios 9.01. both didn't work. I reblinked and even created a new account to see if that would work. Nothing has worked. Thought I would see if anyone had any suggestions. Thanks.

I don't remember Light Preview working for me on the new app, never really tried on the old app. What I do to figure out how I want it to look, go into manual mode in the new app and adjust your sliders till you find what you like, then go into settings and change the channels to that (or the same ratio at a lower percentage if you're still acclimating corals).

Same issue here when trying to preview morning, day, evening settings.

 

Good to see I am not alone in this. Has been driving me nuts.

Thanks jedimasterben... that is what I have been doing just wasn't sure if this was isolated to just this feature or if there was anything else that wasn't working either. When talking to Spencer he is able to get it working on his end so not sure what is different with my set up and why it doesn't work. In either app. Both old and new app.

Hey guys, thanks for bringing this to my attention. I think I have found this bug and updated full Bluefish controllers. If you have the full version can you please try the preview function now?

Sent you an email Spencer. I tried this last night and again this morning. Didn't work. Do I need to reboot the controller? Unplug it? Re blink it? Do the changes automatically get installed? I hit preview and same result nothing changed the lights didn't do anything and the light on the controler didn't change either. Let me know what other steps if any I can do to help trouble shoot.

Do the changes automatically get installed?

When an update is released, it gets pushed to the controllers, it installs, and then it reboots - so occasionally if you see the lights turn off for a split second then go back to where they were, that was probably the culprit.

I just heard from Spencer he sent out another update. I tried it again and it worked!!!! Going to do some more testing tonight when I get home but was able to test it from work and see it work via my IP Cam.. Nice work Spencer...

I'm having an issue in the new app where when I change settings in manual mode and than hit return to normal, they don't return to normal. I have had to open the old app, enter free/manual mode and than hit the normal button.

What about photo mode, etc?

Haven't tried them yet in the new app. Just went into manual last night to show my friend the lights functions and when I hit return to normal nothing happened. Logged out and in tried hitting return to normal again and still nothing. Opened old app, scenes, and than normal and it went back to normal. iOS 8.3.

so I tried again when I got home and the first time it just reset me back to the location I'm simulating weather screen but didn't put lights back to normal. Every time I tried after that it did work like it's supposed to and went back to normal when I hit normal. Maybe just glitchy Internet. Lol.

With the last firmware update (4.11), I reintroduced this bug. I've just pushed out a new update (4.12) that should squash this once and for all. Please let me know if the preview function does or doesn't work for you.
