dual growcubes swapped plants and now one unreachable

I have been using 2 growcubes for a bit now..
I can usually just click the name in the app and get prompted to switch to #1 or #2.. now when I click on #2 it doesn't ask me.. also, I clicked #2's firmware update to see if that would do anything.. and it updated #1?!?!?
and now all my #2 plants are listed in my #1??

what the heck happened?
I would like to resolve this by troubleshooting, not un/reinstall since I am currently remote.
Can I toss a config file into a hex editor or something?

Also, I hope that the watering gets handled properly notwithstanding this bug because I have TWO growcubes with different settings on each plant -- if it starts watering based on what it thinks is #1, and it goes to #2 that would be potentially catastrophic for the plants....

    wait, if it can't find Net, does it stop watering? Or does it keep in memory what it is supposed to be doing?

    Hi, the cause of the problem may be that when you click #2, the software is not connected to device #2,
    but is still connected to device #1.
    1. Please check whether the firmware of both devices has been upgraded.

    2. Under normal circumstances, the upgrade will not change the watering settings, but since your plants in device #2 have moved to device #1, please try to manually water all plants in device #1 to see if the soil moisture will change.

    3. Don't worry, please try to reset the network for both devices.

    Yeah, the issue is I am not physically there.. so the 'reset network' is impossible..
    Also, somehow the net dropped for #1 and now it's just all disconnected so I can't see anything.
    In the app, #2 shows as 3.6 and #1 shows as 3.7 but I cannot click #2 in the list to prompt me either.
    Note: this all just happened by itself -- I only attempted to firmware upgrade once things broke -- I didn't want to try something while I'm not physically there in case something broke, but alas it broke anyway...

    OK so, since I can see all my plants dying on cam, I recognize that the growcube does NOT keep its own details about the plants it is watering without some network connection.
    Honestly this is not sufficient and I recognize that you don't guarantee all the plants you kill but I want to send these POS back and you cover the shipping back to China
