Great to hear. My buddy happened to have an RPI 3B collecting dust to I'm looking to build a 4.3 HM to replace my previous 4.2 built back in 2015 that got fried, unfortunately. I have a couple of questions if someone can help. What boards do I need to order from OSHPARK? Is it just the...

That makes sense, Bryan. I appreciate the detailed reply. 👍

Apologies if this has been covered. I did a quick search and didn't come up with anything. I have a Google Home display in my kitchen and every time I'm doing a cook I think it would be great if I could see the Heatermeter status on the display. I have no idea how difficult it would be but is...

That's awesome. I might like to build anther just for fun.

Hey thanks for all the feedback, guys. I thing I'll grab a fan or two off Digikey and give them a try. I'll update and let you know how it works.

I'm building a gravity fed smoker and I'm thinking about trying a fan instead of a blower to create a custom attachment. My impression is that blowers typically create more pressure than a similar sized fan. What are the important specs when choosing a fan or blower? Is this doable? If it...

Can someone tell me what the command to set from the web admin is to show the pid values debug display please? I typically use my phone to interface with the HM so I can't just hit P on the keyboard. It would be ideal if there was just a checkbox to show it.

Thanks, Bryan. I'll upgrade to the latest snapshot.

Is it possible to set a command to change the actual current pid values? I'm experimenting with the pid settings and if I set one of them back to zero the live value stays where it is instead of going to zero

Thanks again for all the info. Hopefully I'll have time to set it up this weekend.

Hey thanks for the feedback, Ralph. That should actually help me get going in the right direction.

Is there a port forwarding tutorial somewhere? I was able to navigate the wiki and have the Link Meter set up and working on my LAN but I'm a total noob and just don't know where to start with accessing it outside of my LAN.

That's awesome. I had the exact same experience with the display when I first plugged mine in. What kind of smoker are you hooking it up to?

Thanks for the feedback. I posted about the trouble after the first cook with the HM and Auber 10cfm fan here. I tested max blower settings all the way down to 10% with the same results. The graph in that post shows the pit temp dropping every time the fan kicks on. It just dropped slower...
