Wrong checksum essentially means that Meteohub received a packet of data from the station (WMR0200 in this case), but when Meteohub performed an integrity check on the data (comparing the last couple of bytes against the result of a special calculation performed on the other bytes) it was found to be faulty.

The checksum failures shown in the sample seem to be intermittent (but quite frequent), and seem to affect a range of different sensors. There are many possible causes, but the first I'd check out would be somthing affecting the signal as it passed through the USB cable, e.g. see if using a different USB cable, or altering the route of the cable between the console and the Meteohub, helped.
