Everything was working fine until this morning and now apex keeps says the modules are disconnected. Including Sky's, Trident, eb832, dos. But then it will cycle and the are all connected, lose connection, and so on. Lights are off and on over and over. Any ideas

Assure each module does not need a software update. My trident, eb832 and FMM all did similar this past weekend and software updates fixed them all

Says all software versions are ok
Try a reset either with yellow button to assure all outlets energized or unplug and plug back in

Sounds like a possible short in the aquabus aka a device on the fritz. Unplug it all from the head unit and start replugging it in with the eb832 first and go from there. Something is dying or dead device wise.

Was just going to post this!

When I had a WXM module go bad, my head unit did the same thing. I unplugged everything from the head unit, then started plugging them back in, until I found what did it.
