I forgot to come back here and update the post, but I did update PitDroid in September 2020 to fix an issue that magically appeared with the latest Android updates. I didn't add any new features, I basically just updated the Android libraries it uses to the latest versions and the problems went...

Yeah, it's certainly possible I broke it during the big update. I'm getting all my Android development stuff updated now so I can test it out.

I don't have access to my smoker right now, so I haven't really been using my Heatermeter. That said, I'm not sure how PitDroid could crash the Heatermeter, I'm just using the normal API calls. Maybe there's some kind of bug that's causing it to access it too frequently? I can take a look...

Glad to hear it guys, thanks for letting me know.

Hey guys, sorry about the crappy state of the app the last few weeks. Google forced me to update it to the latest API, and there were a lot of changes to deal with and it did not go well. I just pushed a new version that hopefully fixes all the major issues. I've got some more polish I'd like...

Ok, it looks like I'm on a little newer version than you (git-17.100.70571-29fabe263), if I go to the heatermeter devices page mine says HeaterMeter 20170916B. I tried updating to the new stable version that was released recently, but my crappy Edimax wifi adapter didn't seem to work with that...

Hey Melvin, I'm actually doing a smoke right now and it authenticated fine and I'm able to change the pit temp. I haven't updated my HM firmware since last time though, so I suppose it's possible something has changed again. Are you able to at least see the temps, even when you aren't able to...

Hmm, dunno, works for me. If I have an alarm set there's a close button beneath the status notification, and if I press it I get a dialog asking if I want to exit even though alarms are set. If I pick yes, it closes the status notification. The app is still open, but if I navigate away the...

I finally got around to adding a popup for tweaking/confirming changes to the set temp, and pushed out version 2.0 to everyone, not just beta testers. If you opted into the beta you can opt out now if you want (although it's currently the same thing as the release).

Ok, I got my HeaterMeter working again and flashed the snapshot and it looks like the auth is working again, thanks Bryan. And Jesse, guy who gave me a 1 star review on the Play Store for the auth not working, it's time to update that review!

I didn't actually make the iOS app, that's a totally separate thing. You'll have to ask the guy that made it, but I don't think it's updated anymore.

Oh, and I noticed people submitted some crashes, thank you for doing that. When you do though, please add a description of what you were doing, so it's easier for me to dupe the crash. Sometimes I can figure it out from the callstack, but more info always helps.

I'm having some problems with my Heatermeter (it hasn't been the same since it got doused by rain), so I'm having to roll this out blind. I integrated Bryan's changes and created a new build, so please give it a try and let me know if it works. This is only in the beta channel.

Sorry, I missed the forum notification for this since I didn't login after a previous response. Thanks for the patch Bryan, I'll get it integrated in.

I dunno, I'm pretty sure I was on the current firmware, but just to be safe I flashed mine to v13 (from Feb 2016) and I can still auth fine. Are you on the release version or the beta of PitDroid?
