I'm just thinking out loud, but there may be an inexpensive way to reflash firmware on some of these units...
If you download and expand the firmware and look in the pemicro/pkg12z/cfg folder, you'll see that the EZ Touch indoor/outdoor controllers use the 9S12DJ64 processor in the version that can take 1.060, and the 9S12DT128 processor in the version that can take firmware 2.140. EZ Touch Lite also uses the 9s12DT128. These are freescale processors and are supported by many open source BDM tools that are much less expensive than the P&E BDM (you can even build your own). USBDM is one that you can get prebuilt for about 20 bucks, and there is free usbdm software that can flash many controllers (both processors above are listed). I'd love to try it myself but my intellitouch's processor is too old and unsupported by the USBDM software.
All you should need is the .s19 file for your device and the frequency you need to set the BDM tool too, and that's all in the latest firmware download pentair provides. If I were going to try this I would double check device support and do a read of the firmware first to at least make sure that works. Use/explore/think about at your own risk.
