Two AudioMoths not recording correctly after configuration
Hi,
I recently bought two AudioMoth units from LABmaker and deployed them after flashing both with the latest firmware, version 1.12.1.
During their first deployment, both units stopped recording after approximately five days. They both stopped during the same night and did not resume recording the following morning.
After collecting them, I replaced the batteries and SD cards and deployed them again. However, neither unit produced any recordings. One of them appears to have started recording a couple of days after deployment, but it stopped again the following day.
I have since tried configuring both units again using several different schedules and settings, but the configuration does not seem to be applied correctly:
* No recordings are created in CUSTOM mode.
* In DEFAULT mode, recordings are created with a date in 1970, which suggests that the clock or configuration has not been set correctly.
I have tested them with different batteries and several SD cards, all of which had previously worked correctly with AudioMoth devices.
Is there anything I might be doing incorrectly? Could this be a firmware, configuration or hardware issue? Is there anything else I should test before contacting LABmaker about a possible replacement?
Thank you
I'm having the similar issue with custom mode, and now in testing the device doesn't record at all. The config file persisted as my last settings from a month ago 7/2026, and new configurations in the app didn't override.
The light on the device flashes when I hit Configure AudioMoth, but no change.
I deleted the config file, and now when I use the configuration app no new config file is generated.
I reflashed to the most 1.12.1 with no change. I reverted to 1.12.0 with no change.
When I set to default mode, I get the red and green flashing lights and no recording that suggests and SD card write error, I tested this with multiple microSD cards and got the same result.
I've been using the same microSD card since I got the AudioMoth last year, and I am able to write to the card on my computer.
