Yes! I was able to hit the HM web interface from my laptop. Still cannot ping my laptop or the router from HM. You are right I could not ping the router from my laptop either. Not sure why HM will not ping my laptop but it is now working. Thx!

Yes. My router is 192.168.12.108. It assigned 192.168.12.97 to the HM. HM still cannot ping the router .

See attached. Ping just sat there until I hit cntrl c.

When I'm doing this the usb wifi dongle is disconnected. There is a cable direct between my laptop and the heatermeter. Not sure how but the heatermeter is getting that address. My laptop is set to static IP.

OK, by adding solder to the probe jack connections I now have all probes functioning! I went over all of the solder joints and cleaned the board and the LCD display still does not display text. Anything I can test with a meter to see where it's going south?

I will scrub the board with alcohol and make necessary repairs to the solder joints. Thanks for taking a look.
