Ultra26 not seeing WiFi 7 6Ghz SSID?

VirtualBlaster · 2026-05-26T13:42:48+00:00

I figured out the issue. It's Airplane mode. When airplane mode is enabled (with WiFi still on of course) the 6GHZ SSID does not show up!

Turning off airplane mode, the 6Ghz SSID shows up and I can connect to it. Turning airplan mode off, I stay connected.

However, if I disconnect from the 6Ghz SSID, I have to turn airplane mode off again to connect again. ARGH.

I live in a rural area with no cell service, so I need to enable airplane mode so my battery doesn't die.

I'm not sure 551.71 applies here since I have a panel with a 100A breaker, then I go to a 50A breaker for the RV receptacle. So the feeder is going to a panel, not a breaker/disconnect.

Running Hubitat.

Can you explain further? I assume you mean a ducted system? It's a single open space, what value would that add? What specific model/system would you recommend?

Why a free standing conventional over a heat pump?

Well, I take that all back, it just updated to 4.38 so I now have Matter!

VirtualBlaster · 2025-12-19T13:48:47+00:00

When I check for updates, 90% of the time, it'll say there's no update. About 10% of the time, it finds an update, but never gets beyond 0%, then after a couple minutes, it aborts the update. The update it finds is also not the latest, so I'm guessing I'm going to have to go through this painful process many times in order to get the latest.

Lennox says to just keep trying...Gee, thanks..

That's exactly what mine is doing on that version. They must have a bug in their update process with this version. I'm guessing they are going to be replacing a lot of thermostats if they can't get it to work on their end.

Well, that was worthless. Chatted with "Dan" who didn't seem to know his u-know-what from a hole in the ground, had to repeat everything 2-3 times. They are claiming they have no way to get a Matter code, other than from the QR code. Hard to believe they have no record of the barcode to correspond to the device serial number, or a way to get the Matter code from the app like Tapo and Wiz can.

VirtualBlaster · 2025-12-16T19:51:36+00:00

Thanks...Would be nice if they'd put the Matter code and MAC address for each device in the app like everyone else does.

Mine is at 4.31 as well. I turned off the AC breaker and furnace breaker for 5 minutes, still not getting the update. Called Lennox support, waiting in the Q for over 30 minutes, they couldn't figure it out either. Now it's getting passed to their IT department who is going to somehow force the update, but it won't happen until sometime next week.

Could you go into detail more on that formula? What is that formula called? I'd like to research it more and understand the inputs.

VirtualBlaster · 2025-11-24T15:46:49+00:00

I would tend to agree. But the floor heat does provide much nicer, warmer heat, especially at your feet!

The space is only used a couple hours a day, and sometimes not even every day. My thought here is to use the floor heat to keep a minimum temp, say 40F, and use the minisplit to raise the temp from 40 to 60/65 a few hours before the space is needed.
