Hi Peter….I do have another router I could dedicate to Zero North 40. Thank you for all of your help. Enjoy the upcoming holidays with your family.
Hi Peter. I’m still getting the errors even after doing a fresh install of the latest firmware. My sensor is working fine according to customer service. I guess there might be a bug or glitch in the firmware. Anyway I’m not sure there is much else to do.
I don’t think it is the firmware on the Tempest or the console I’m afraid. If it was, we would see lots of people with the same log entries. My suspicion is that it is an internet connection error. I am now running an instance of the console using your wfpiconsole.ini file on a spare Raspberry Pi. Let me know when you next see a bunch of errors. If I also see them, then yes it is a bug in the console, but if I don’t see them, then it has to be a connection problem on your end

Hi Peter, I did change the router and I went up to the roof and did a speed check to my 2.4 band and was hitting over 700 Mpbs. So it gets a strong signal from the hub.I also checked my router logs and there was no disconnects in the last month. Maybe it’s an intermittent problem between the hub and sensor. I also cleaned the contact points on the sensor and base. Hopefully with the data you run maybe we can figure if it’s sw or hw. Thank you
I suspect you’re having intermittent DNS failures, or possibly your internet connection is a little unstable. I’ve seen this happen with my cable internet provider.
The screen grab from a couple days ago could have been the big CloudFlare service outage. I know it broke DNS lookups for me related to some other well-known weather sites on internet.

My current dns is from my ISP. I can and will change it manually. That might help.
I would recommend not messing with your network. Just let it run as is. Changing your DNS setting isn’t going to help any if your ISP drops your entire network connectivity somewhere between you and your DNS servers. Outages happen.
Knowing that some ISPs are notorious for operating DNS servers that resolve all unknown lookups to their own captive web server for advertising and never return an unknown response, I wouldn’t be using any ISP’s DNS servers…

Very true. I have used Google’s DNS servers in the past andthey have been rock solid.

Actually I just changed over to cloud flares dns servers. So far after testing they were the fastest.

Love it. That’s what failed this week. (I use them too for my internet site)

Exactly what I was thinking when I switched over!! LOL!! 
Hopefully they have stabilized things.
So far since yesterday no errors except for a couple of ping failures, they recovered quickly and the connection made contact with the mother ship:laughing:
