2. Network

+
Q: Can I connect Hypnotik FX to a 5GHz Wi-Fi network? +

No. The Hypnotik FX is compatible only with 2.4GHz Wi-Fi networks. It does not support 5GHz bands.


3. Power Usage

+
Q: Can I run all 5 channels at their maximum 240W power simultaneously? +

No, you cannot. While each individual channel is capable of handling up to 240W, the device has a strict total power quota of 360W shared across all outputs.

Think of it as a power budget: if you use 240W on a single channel, you only have 120W remaining (360W - 240W) to split among the other four channels. The combined total of all active channels must never exceed 360W.


4. Connection Requirements

+
Can I perform an upgrade while connected directly to the device's Access Point (HYPNOTIK-XXXX)? +
  • Remote OTA: No. You cannot perform a Remote update in AP mode because the device cannot reach the cloud.
  • Manual OTA: Yes. You can perform a Manual update in AP mode because you are uploading the firmware file directly from your local device to the controller.

Do I need an active Internet connection for updates? +
  • For Remote OTA: Yes. The device requires an active internet connection to communicate with the Hypnotik Cloud.
  • For Manual OTA: No. You do not need an active internet connection on the controller itself, as the file is transferred locally.

How do I perform a Manual OTA update? +

Please refer to the step-by-step instructions in our [Manual Update Guide].You can perform manual update from phone too. [Manual Update Phone Guide].


5. Firmware Upgrade

+
How can I upgrade the firmware of a Hypnotik FX? +

You can upgrade the firmware using one of two methods: Remote OTA (Automatic) or Manual OTA (File Upload).

[See Here for Manuals]


What is the difference between Remote OTA and Manual OTA? +
  • Remote OTA (Automatic): The device connects to the Hypnotik Cloud to check for updates. If a new version is found, the user simply clicks a button to approve and start the update.
  • Manual OTA (File Upload): The user must manually download the firmware file to their computer/phone and then upload it to the controller via the Web UI.

Which firmware versions support Remote OTA updates? +

Remote OTA is supported on Version 1.1.8 and later. If your device is on an older version, you must use the Manual OTA method.
