I’ve seen some articles for other sensors stating that the wifi banner, which only appeared earlier this year for me and never goes away, was related to thingspeak (whatever that may be), and that updating to firmware 7.02 would fix it. however, my pa-ii-flex is on 7.04 and still has this issue, and the little chiclets at the bottom indicate thingspeak connectivity.

anyone have any insight to this?

everything is working API- and local json-access-wise, so it’s not critical, but it’s annoying to see this banner all the time.
