@Tryptophane: the first thing to check is ‘Last Successful Weather Call’ time stamp. You can find it via ‘Weather Diagnostics’, or on the controller’s LCD screen directly by pressing B2+B3 (the same way as how you press Ctrl+A). If the Last Successful Weather Call time stamp is synchronized with the Last Weather call time stamp (i.e. within a minute from the call), that means the controller is receiving data from the weather server correctly. If not, it could be a DNS issue as you asked.

Particularly, if you use static IP, the firmware currently assumes the DNS server is the same as the router / gateway. This can sometimes cause issues. I recommend you to turn it back to DHCP, and use the router’s DHCP reservation feature to achieve static IP instead.

We are currently away till Monday July 21. Orders placed during this time will be shipped on Tuesday July 22. Thank you for your understanding!
