Omni Firmware

Below you will find the latest Hayward OmniLogic Controls Firmware updates available. Please locate the Hardware that you would like to update and download the latest Firmware onto your USB memory stick. You will need to bring the USB memory stick to the Omni Control product. For OmniLogic simply plug it into the side of the Local Display behind the Dead Front and for OmniHub you will need to access the port on the bottom of the display. Next, you will need to access service mode through the power button on the bottom left corner of the main screen and from the next menu find the upgrade button, then pick the component or remote that you are upgrading. The Omni controllers will automatically reboot after the upgrade is complete. We suggest you consult your pool professional when upgrading OmniLogic firmware.
