Upgrading Firmware on OSPi to use Remote IP Station feature

[muppet]

I want to add a new (my second OSPi) controller to control additional valves on the other side of my property. From what I understand, if the firmware is updated I can use the ‘Remote IP Station’ functionality to merge all stations into one station list.

I have performed the upgrade detailed here under “B. Upgrade a previously installed Unified Firmware”
https://openthings.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/5000631599-installing-and-updating-the-unified-firmware

My firmware is now 1.8.3-OSPi

If I purchase a new OSPi, will this be enough to use the Remote IP Station?

@muppet: the firmware version has nothing to do with new OSPi or old OSPi — which ever version you have you can always upgrade to the latest firmware.

@wifi75: your screenshot shows that it’s already firmware 2.1.7(2) which is the latest version.

Even after performing the upgrade procedure as detailed below, I am still only on 1.8.3
How do I get to V2+?

Look, 1.8.3 is not a firmware that we officially support — it’s probably one of the third-party firmwares. The Unified OpenSprinkler firmware never had version 1.8.3. Maybe you should just build the Raspbian system from scratch and follow instructions to install firmware.

After a fresh install I’m on 2.1.7

I cannot find any documentation or options for the Remote IP Station feature, only a few references to it on this forum.
Is there anything available? Does it work with V2.1.7?

thanks

I found the advanced options tab under the station configuration where it can be configured
