Timeout too short, leading to spurious resets

When using an Ethernet Shield based on W5500 hardware, a timeout of 1 minute is too little. With W5500 hardware (and possibly others), connect operations can take up to 31.8 seconds (see https://github.com/harold65/SolarMeter/issues/9 ) so then the 1 minute is easily reached. My proposal would be to set this timeout to 36000 (3 minutes).

Did the setting of 3 minutes in timeout help you in recieving less resets? After adding another S0 Meter (have 2 for usage and 1 for PV) I now recieve more resets. Usually i have to reset the arduino several times after an software update to run it for months. But now I cant get it running a whole day without a reset.

What arduino u use? And what pins??

Perhaps take a look on my git i forked this solarmeter in to a simple version

I use an Adruino uno with an ethernetshield (W5100). Had for, i believe, 1 a 2 years now 2 sensor setup. Yesterday I added an extra sensor and reconfigured the setup to:

Pin 2: S0 Meter PV
Pin 6: S0 Meter Consumption 1
Pin 7: S0 Meter Consumption 2

I got the setup fully working but have some minor issues.

Arduino gets stuck after some running time, so monitor and manually reset
Missing the temperature readout (I tend to use PVoutput as less as possible, all my recordings are on exosite) I know the temp can bet fetched with a get of push message. If this isn't possible anymore with Buienradar I will look for another option, possibly adding an own sensor.

Your fork of the Harold software is running smootly? Does it have Exosite upload?
