Trying to connect to the seestar which was connected via an ipad and its s50** wifi, via iphone and its 50** wifi let me connect and i openedd the arm , which it did and starting again for the request to update firmware, while doing that i closed the app and wifi connection on the ipad (ipad os 16.7.10 ipad pro 12,9in some years old, up to date...)
iphone 16pro ios 18.3.2 up to date, seems to work now will try later again with the ipad.
So problem solved (circumvented)...
