Controller v5.0.15 - no clients and then device status say managed by others
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
Has anyone successfully upgraded to v5.0.15 of the controller?
Today I upgraded (as I have done for the previous versions successfully) on my Windows 10. After restoring config from backup, the clients were not showing up in the list. So I force provisioned the devices. Still no luck.
I then uninstalled the controller and reinstalled (restored the previous backup), but now I am in a worse position. The devices now say "managed by others". The mistake I made was not creating another back up before uninstalling. I guess every install of the controller creates a unique identifier which get's set on the devices when provisioned? A reinstall would mean another identifier causing failure in adoption.
I suspect my only option is to reset my devices and rebuild my network, unless someone has any other ideas I can try.

The original problem of no clients in the list is still there. Also, when I navigate to the insight page, I get the "General error" message.
I see a lot of NullPointerExceptions in the logs.
As an update, this issue has been fixed in Controller v5.0.29.

@HN116 You can try to click on “adopt”, and when it asks you to enter the username/password, you can enter the username/password from Site----device account to have a try. Otherwise, you can only reset your device and reconfigure it.

Please try manually adopt the devices, the username and password can be found under Settings -> Site -> Device Account.
The upgrading process of controller v5.0.15 was successful on my side, the issue you are experiencing sounds unusual, I'd like to escalate your case to the TP-Link support team for further investigation. They will reach you via your registered email address shortly, please pay attention to your email box later.
Once the issue is addressed or resolved, I'd encourage you to share it with the community.
Thank you so much for your cooperation and support!

Thank you Fae.
The manual adoption worked fine. I had no idea about this method.

@Fae
Just transitioned over to the Omada ecosystem and I didn't know how to get back my ER605, because for some unknown reason the device status changed to "Managed by others", until I came upon this post! Thanks Fae!

Was your ER605 managed by other controller before?
Or did you uninstall your controller and reinstall it before you get the status "Managed by others"?
Generally, we can re-adopt the Omada device with the previous Device Account, have you tried it?
