So I recently started using the android app instead of iOS app and my controller time keeps updating to the incorrect date/time. I will also mention that some water spilled on it recently, but I don't necessarily think that is the issue. I will set the date/time from the app or the portal and sometime later I will notice my halides are on when they shouldn't and the controller says that it is like 12/41/40 at 5:53!? This is happening multiple times a day and driving me crazy. Any ideas? Thanks!

I doubt this is related to the app.
This sounds like a head unit problem when it tries to sync with the real time clock chip.
Did the water get into the board?

Believe so. I had to take the cover off and let it all dry with temp probes and ph probe unhooked before they would read accurate.

So the fix would be to replace the whole board!?

That's what sounds like.
Can you see water damage in any of the traces?

It's hard telling. Nothing super evident I don't think. I'll be honest I have been a little disappointed with the durability of this unit. So far I have 2 ports that don't work in my relay box due to water and/or salt creep and it makes a horrendous noise like something is shorting every once in awhile. Somewhat worried it's a fire risk. Then, this head unit continually having water issues. I know we can't easily make it waterproof...but these things are for saltwater aquariums.
