Hello @phamiltonsmith can you tell us more about the system that you have, is it a emonBase or emonPi? Is it a SD card running the emonSD image? How old is the system? has it been working fine and only just showing the issues that you are seeing?

It WAS an emonPi and had run fine for about 8 months… Instead of trying to fix the the issue, I did a fresh Install…
