Get rid of it and by a Hydros. DA has been gone for years now.
I know it's been gone a while but it would be cost prohibitive for me to buy all new stuff...
It's cool to see one of these still running!
Running is a loose term. For some reason on the system page only shows Software and Hardware versions and doesn't list the package version or say firmware is up to date. If anyone has any tips that would be great!

I tried doing some simple programming such as a refugium light on a timer and it doesn't seem to be working and I am guessing it's related to that. Worse case scenario I can just keep everything programmed through my RKE and just use the Archon to display pH, ORP, salinity and temp on a tablet/screen and do all the timers/on&off stuff through the RKE...

I think that the package info was in later software versions. So you may not have the later version of the software.

Ok, I got to looking back at some of my screenshots and the package info does not show on the screen until January 2017. Not sure when that was released to public since ai was a beta tester that screenshot could have been before that. Also that is getting to be the time when they shut down Digital Aquatics also. Here is a screenshot from before the package info.

Thanks. Mine doesn't say firmware is up to date but it has software version is 1.09.70 and hardware version is 1.08.10.

I can't get the timers to work or control outlets. I also can't add my home wifi as every time I hit save it looses the hotspot and goes blank and I have to do a hard reset on the archon to get the hotspot back. Each time I try it never saves the wifi information I put in as well.

I might just use the archon to display the things I posted. It would be nice to run everything through the archon but I don't like how it doesn't seem to be able to turn the outlets on/off based on what time it is.

It also could be that the software on the USB memory does not match what is running in the controller. I cannot remember how you would install the firmware to the controller since it has been years since I have messed with those controllers.
