I have a 4 line since I purchased and built my HM back in '17. Still going strong! The LCD was a mere $7.56 Australian including shipping back then, the ebay description was: "IIC/I2C/TWI Serial LCD 2004 20x4 Display Shield Blue Backlight for Arduino New T" I had to solder in a ribbon cable...

Ive been using one of these since Sept 2017 and won't hesitate recommending: Thermocouple Type-K - Stainless Steel SEN-13715. The length of 200mm for this part number is just perfect for my UDS application, but could be too long for other applications. Googling SEN-13715 indicates it is...

I have the V4.3.3 HeaterMeter and changed to a Rasp Pi Zero W just as those became available - the onboard WiFi of that little guy is amazing and been working flawlessly for me. For the price, might be something to consider instead of an adapter. I can't speak for adaptability with older...

Martin, Ive been using this Thermocouple for a few years now, it is fairly long but spot on for my application in an Ugly drum smoker as the tip reaches approx the centre of the drum when inserted from the side. It seems to be in stock at mouser.co.uk and amazon.co.uk. great value for the price...

Most probably not that useful to AJones; just sharing my experience: after various experiences and struggles with cheap servo's, I "stole" the steering servo out of my son's 1/8th HPi nitro buggy which was sitting in a box for many years since he moved in his own house. That servo is a beast...

I started to confuse myself a fair bit with the PID settings for my UDS. A member on here, Darren C. kindly offered to share with me a write-up he did on PID tuning which helped me a lot, I still occasionally refer to it. I prefer not to share it without his permission, but suggest to contact...

Hi Christopher - sorry, not able to give you any sound advice to your questions, but thought to share my experience re getting into Sous Vide. I started to build a contraption using my HM and other bits& pieces - no doubt the HM in itself is a wonderful device with all it s features. However in...

There is a handy website called 'portforward dot com', (am i allowed to link websites?) - you might even find your exact router in there. .

I'm with you Nick; I love my HM with all its features and graphs etc. Recently got a GMG JimBowie WiFi model as a Fathersday gift from my sons. I now use the pellet smoker regularly instead of firing up my UDS & HM, but each time I do, I miss all the bells and whistles of the HM. Whilst it is...

G'day, here a link to my UDS & HM setup.: https://tvwbb.com/showthread.php?70981-My-HM-build-for-UDS Still working like a charm, holding temps with less than 1degC over 10 hour cooks which is the longest cooks done so far.

Ditto - I also struggled a bit similar to RKHanso untill I simplified my wifi SSID and password as both had special characters in. The HM connected then straight away after which hardened my wifi password a bit testing each change on the HM and all were good. Last weekend I took my UDS with the...

I also had a few issues with the TowerPro SG90 - in my pre-HM days I used them in my three fan/damper pods I had on my UDS. I had them hooked up to the 3 outputs of a very cheap servo tester with the OMRON PID controller's relay output to the tester's pot so the servos only ever opened and...

Thanking you - I did a 11hr cook this weekend (pork butt) and the HM worked like a charm. I was away from home most of the time during the day but still kept an eye on things remotely on my phone, some of the tech challenged people I visited just couldn't fathom the concept of remote monitoring...

I really like the Kamado and would have bought one in a heartbeat if I haven't put so much effort in my UDS which does what I need it to do. Not sure if you have checked out my UDS thread on here showing my HM / damper in one, all hacked together out of scrap and it works a treat...

Ok fair enough; yeah I also started off by using my Maverick 733 probes though I recently ordered some Thermoworks probes after a Maverick probe failed on me. I am about to order me one of these: https://core-electronics.com.au/thermocouple-type-k-stainless-steel.html What are you going to...
