Trying to run two separate controllers

Query??? Is it possible to run two controllers on the same wifi?
I am trying to upgrade my coffee table and cannot seem to connect to the new controller. The other one, controlling my wall piece is the only one that shows up on the discovery page. Any info or help is much appreciated. :victory_hand::growing_heart::atom_symbol:

The discovery page will show up any controllers connected to the wifi.
You might have entered the password incorrectly and your second board is not connecting properly to the wifi.

I recommend to reset wifi settings (about 5 sec long press on the pixelblaze button) until the LED blinks, then connect to AP and reconfigure client mode.

If you still can’t see it on the discovery page, try finding the IP on your connected devices router page and access it through the IP directly.

Hello, I tried resetting it and it still doesn’t appear on the discovery page. Also I can’t seem to access my router to see what devices are connected. I’ve tried several times and I get a “cannot load page” response. I hate to be a bother and appreciate your expertise🙏

Are you setting it up in client mode, where it connects to your normal WiFi? There’s also a checkbox that if unchecked, disables the discovery service.

You’ll also need to use the same WiFi network to connect to the internet for the discovery service to work. Sometimes phones can be connected to cellular data instead of WiFi and won’t be able to see anything.

Ok, figured that out, thank you. But it seems I have made bigger mistake. I was unaware of the input direction and had the controller connected to the wrong end aaand I cut of the other end. Oops. Lesson learned and I’m ordering new LEDs from you now, lol.

Ok, LEDs arrived, thank you. I’ve them hooked up correctly and have discovered the controller, but I’m still not getting any light. Help please🙏
