And, damn, the heat sink is really 620°C? Yikes!

What's the actual topic and payload that's triggering the error? You should be able to see that in the debug logs.

Umm, i can't seem to find the error, this is what comes up in the log, can you see anything?

I don't see the error in that log segment at all. You'll want to post a dozen of so lines immediately before that error is reported.

Also not sure why you restarted the Connector plugin.

You're going to have to wait until you get the error again, I guess.

And please use CODE tags, not QUOTE.

[mwoodage]

Yep ok - i'll keep a look out and post when i see it next. Need to go to bed now, it's getting late here!

Thanks for all your help this evening
