dalecoy, one of the issues may have been my internet connection. That doesn't account for the slow ping between the station and the console, but it probably accounts for the offline condition on WeatherUnderground. I'm cursed with Time Warner Cable, and my entire development has been having issues with those b**tards for several weeks now.
One question, though, connected to that. I'm not sure I understand the data logger function or the catchup function of Cumulus. Isn't the premise that it continues to collect data until the connection to the internet restores, then uploads it all accordingly? If so, it's not working. The times when the system is offline show up on WeatherUnderground as flatlines with whatever the data is when it went down. When it comes back online, the data points jump to the current data values, with seemingly no interim data uploaded.
Am I off base on how this system works with data logging and catchup?
(by the way, to your previous question, I have the USB data logger installed)
