Jolly good. We'll see if we can sort the spurious 'connection error' messages next.

Once again, Many many thanks to you Steve!

I'll turn on the Debug before I go to bed - will probably be around the time of the Error Messages though

Though we hope.... they don't return!

Hi Steve,

Here is my long awaited Debug Log...

It goes along reasonably well, most of the time it gets the data in just a few seconds, but at 03:00 the station just stops responding for over five minutes. Cumulus does lots of retries, but doesn't get anything back. So it seems that for around 5 minutes or more at 03:00 the station is too busy doing something else (as you suggested, probably trying to sync to the time signal).

I'm not really sure what to do about that, other than make an option for turning off those error messages. And you probably don't want to use the new 'restart if data stopped' option!

I think you are spot on there Steve! Stupid really as it's not essential where as possibly Weather Data during those five mins could be!



Yup I think thats all the could be done - Possibly only for La-Crosse Users as I don't think other stations have this issue as such!

Oh you bet I don't use that!

Thanks once again for all your efforts on trying to resolve this issue!

Complain to your Supplier Jason? You can't be the only one having that problem.
Perhaps they can supply a unit without the time update?
