What steps will reproduce the bug?

I'm unable to make any changes though the Pool Controller Dashboard but the dashboard does receive updates and shows correct data from the outside pool controller.

What happens?

If i select a feature or turn on/off the pool the button will turn yellow then I receive: Error:OutboundMessageError

What should have happened?

the button on the controller dashboard should have turned green if turning on or no color if turning off. However I get yellow then the error pops and the pool doesn't respond.

Additional information

I ran a test on the RS-485 adapter and receive the expected ffa5ff repetition so that seems to be working and I also receive information from the pool, just seems like commands are not going out to the pool.

[christensonautohome]

I've already ordered a new RS-485 adapter thinking that might be the issue but wasn't sure if this is an expected error encountered when a RS-485 adapter is failing.

[tagyoureit]

Did this just start with 8.0.5? Or does it also happen with the previous release? Nothing in this latest patch should affect that.

[christensonautohome]

No, I don't often control my pool, so I'm not sure when it might've started. I just recently updated to the latest release to see if that might fix the issue.
