### 1/5 — [updated] Only works if device is on WiFi!

*2018-02-24*

This app doesn’t find the Powergate that I’m trying to update. Will update this if support is able to help. Note: Powergate is connected via Ethernet, I have a sneaking suspicion that it may work on WiFi. If it does that’s a huge bug. I don’t want this unit on my WiFi. We’ll see after I hear back from support (hopefully). If I get time to troubleshoot maybe I’ll try it on WiFi.

UPDATE: Yup, it can only be updated over WiFi. Huge FAIL. Still haven’t found a way to remove my password from the unit.
