WTF?

This is why cloudy systems are asking for trouble. I have several charge controllers at home - none of them connect to the internet, and although probably more expensive, I feel vindicated that this was the right choice....

I like the MorningStar brand, but they aren't cheap. I wrote a review here if you're interested: http://www.gogreenit.net/index.php?page=morningstar-tristar-60a-mppt

My preference has become Maximum Solar. They work with button and LCD control. It ain't convenient but I reprogram them only twice a year - when transitioning between summer (hot, energy surplus, preserve batteries by not charging them fully) and winter configurations (cold, energy deficit, fill batteries to the maximum). I've thought about automating that, but didn't bother.

Oh, indeed, that's a common problem with them. :) You can find them here:
