Awesome. Ill get the 12v one. Do I just wire it up to a rca cable like the fan?

I have started using a pellet smoker and using the HeaterMeter to monitor temps. I do not use the fan output anymore. One small thing pellet smokers suffer through is as you get to the last 1lb of pellets, sometimes the pellets do not funnel into the auger due to the design of the hoppers. I was...

Ive now been using a pellet smoker instead of my WSM. So much easier setup, even when using a heatermeter on the WSM. I have been using the heatermeter as a a temp monitor over wifi and it saved my last cook after a flame out. It got me to thinking how nice it would be if the heatermeter was the...

Thanks for the reply. Yes, This is a version 4.0. Also haven't updated software in years. I never had reading issues with other probes, just connection at the socket issue. This is my first time using the pros. I am using the pit droid android app and I kept getting alarms that probes were...

thanks! They work great until I slid it into some brisket. The probe keeps going from 50 to 0 and back and forth. If it's sitting in the smoker, it reads correct and never cuts out at 225. I tried with another probe using same port and other ports and the same thing happens. Anyone else have...

So odd. I disabled the network protection. I switched the interface back to dhcp. It get a new ip of .166. It shows up on the router network map. I cannot access it or ping it. It ONLY starts working once the LAN is connected.

Hi Guys, I cannot get the wifi on my heatermeter to work on it's own. I have configured it as shown here: https://github.com/CapnBry/HeaterMeter/wiki/HeaterMeter-4.x-Software#wireless-client-setup-via-config-file-step-by-step-easiest-method except that I gave it a static IP (the one the DHCP...

Okay i got the new probes. They fit so much better. No more fiddling to get them just right. Only problem is I cannot thread them through the pass through I installed in my WSM, bu I can deal with that. What do I have to do to get them to display the correct temp on the HeaterMeter? I am...

Well as mentioned, I just moved and in the process lost my solder buddy. I'm terrible at it myself. Does anyone sell pre assembled boards?

Looks like I have a 4.0. Found an old picture of the board: https://goo.gl/photos/oo6eshNmnoqcaY3f8

Awesome, thanks for the info! BTW, I see you are in Puyallup. I just moved to Renton and I was not preparred for all the moisture here and how it effected my smoker. Went to use it yesterday and it was nothing but mold :( https://goo.gl/photos/ZUF6DP4akrAgTFPX9 Im gonna have to spend some...

I have a HeaterMeter that I accidentally broke one of the usb ports on the Raspberry pi. I have another Raspberry Pi, the same exact type, sitting around I don't use. Can I just switch out the Raspberry pis? I believe all the software and information is stored on the SD card so as long as those...

Thanks. I just ordered 4 of the Pro probes. Hopefully this helps out.

I have a 4.X heatermeter I think. It was built 3-4 years ago. I have the et-72 and et-732 probes and they are so finicky it drives me nuts. Specifically, the fact that if you push them in too far into the plugs they wont work. Plus the probes are erratic when plugged in. Maybe my heatermeter is...

The Maverick ones are killing me. Always some sort of issue with them. When you plug the Thermoworks ones in, can your plug them in all the way or do you have to fiddle with how far they go into the socket?
