Does anyone have any issue with initial setup of Hydra 32 via bluetooth. I can't get my Android cellphone or my mac laptop to detect Hydra? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
 
If WiFi is an option on the phone, look for the local WiFi network name broadcast by the Hydra light itself. It will say something like Hydra followed by the MAC address/SN. Once connected to that local WiFi network, try finding it in the AI app. If it's a used unit, you can hold the power button down (for around 10 seconds I think) to reset it to defaults. When powered on or reset the light on the back will change color. It takes a couple of minutes to boot then it should show up.
 
Once connected to the lights local WiFi, if you proceed through the setup in the app on your phone and have selected your own WiFi network for it to join but can't control it afterwards, I've found that connecting to the light in a web browser once it has an IP address from your WiFi router to be useful for configuring it. There's usually a list of connected devices/clients on your router's web portal. It again will be named Hydra-<SN/MAC>. The IP if it has one from the router will be visible there.
