Hi all, newbie here, setup my new WH1081 from Maplins today and seems to work fine apart from the rain gauge saying its rained when it hasnt!
My question is why would the red error light flash when all seems to be okay?
It only started flashing a few minutes ago and the touch display is showing data!
If the signal was lost between sensors and base what would I see / not see.
Many thanks
seems to be a great piece of software

You will get used to FTP errors!
They can happen as Cumulus attempts to upload your website

It turns off after you click on it. It will flash again if you get another FTP error.
I should really make flashing the error light for FTP errors optional. It's just the way the internet works.

I'll take that as a yes, then

Indeed, a big yes and thumbs up from me. I could push my luck and ask for Cumulus to write the latest error to a webtag. Then I could get Toolbox to email me if a real error occurs that I need to deal with. Clicking the error light clears the webtag
Sorry about the beer

Good idea. I want to rationalise the logging and error reporting anyway, so that could be part of it.
