Thoughts and Ideas; is this possible/probable and how much effort is needed?

1. ability to log cooks to cloud storage and recall from web interface/mobile app? - or just view from cloud storage?
2. ability to enter cooking log in web interface - ties in with storing cooking log data
3. use template similar to this cooking log at www.virtualweberbullet.com/cookinglog.html
   • ability to store cooking log and cooking log data/graph in Google Drive/DropBox/OneDrive or similar (can a cloud drive connection be made?)
     • would replace/augment “cooker log” worksheet/page
     • don't think we need to record every 2 minutes; maybe every 15 - 20 minutes?
     • Maybe, store last ’n’ logs locally and synch to cloud? prevents problems if doing a cook without Internet connectivity (camping?)
     • option to sync logs to cloud at end of cook or discard log?
4. iOS and Android apps updated to take advantage of this new functionality from mobile? (depends on app developers)

One of the best things about the HM is how much you can customize it in form and function. You can easily add some code that will show the blower and servo on two status bars. On the HM web page click the Configuration button then click the User CSS link at the top of the page. In the User Style section paste in the following lines:

#fanf { position: relative; #fe4 ; opacity: 0.6; }
#fanc { position: relative; #fe4 ; opacity: 0.6; }
#fanl { font-size: 18pt; color: #fff; opacity: 0.6; }
#fancontainer, #fana { height: 33px; }

This is the code I use, you can customize it to your preferences.

This actually displays the HM output % and the fan speed, which used to be fine, however, since the "blower on above" and "servo fully open" features have come into play I have been thinking this setup could use a bit of tweaking. These days I have my servo set to be fully open at 33% and blower on above 33%... At 34% it shows the blower is just coming on (which is proper) but the bar that represents the servo is showing just over a third, I guess because it actually represents the HM output instead of the servo position. I am not sure if there is a code to show the actual servo position, if there is I haven't seen it. (*feature request!) That aside, the above code will show them both and you just need to know where your servo is set to be fully open...

On the topic of cook logs, you can currently archive cooks I know, but I really haven't done any of that myself. Others have started threads about this though, and Bryan had done some work on a heatermeter website that could evolve into something with the features you are asking for but I am not sure if/when that would happen. Others have used some third party reporting tool that can archive cooks but they are displayed through another web interface, not directly on your HM. I think if Bryan pulls together the project he had been working on (I think he called it "HeaterMeter Live"?) it would be pretty cool, to share live cooks and hold archives that can be viewed in the native HM interface....
