I was wondering if that was the case. Nice to know date and the position on the linkmeter page tells you what firmware is running on the Pi and what firmwave is running on the AVR. Never have tried to update AVR firmware by going the the AVR Firmware page in Linkmeter, but will keep that in mind...

Brian, Got one more thing I ran into and not sure this is correct. Currently I have 2 sd cards, one with 20201013 snapshot and one with 20201123 snapshot. When I remove the card with the 20201123 snapshot and replace it with the 20201013 snapshot, the HM boots up telling me I have 20201123. When...

Brian, Update. I am running on the 20201123 snapshot with no issues or hiccups. I took some time this morning and flashed a 32gb brand new sd card and put the latest img on that. But I might have figured out what could have caused a lot of my issues. When adding the script, I cut and pasted it...

Thanks for getting back so quickly. Yup, every time I ran into the HM switching to manual fan was when the HM started off in "off mode". Glad you see it too. Good luck with the changes your working on. Will cook my big bird with my current snapshot. Looking forward to the next snapshot. Have a...

Brian, Found snapshot dated 20201013 and went ahead and installed the backup. Went and setup my WiFi and then set the lid open parameters up to the default 6% and 240 Seconds. When I set the lid open to the default settings and performed a save the HM went into manual fan mode showing the 0%...

Glad you experienced the problem. I thought I was going bonkers. With that point, is there a place where we can download previous snapshots?

Brian, Not sure this could be an issue, but here is what I just did to get the AVR communication loss to come up. The HM seems to work when this happens, but l Linkmeter is down. The last time the issue came up I just entered and saved script. Everything was still working. Next I changed the old...

One last thing. When I went out to remove power from HM I found it in manual fan mode. Since the HM was working , I switched back to "NO" manual fan and now my AVR communications did not come back. This all happened when I added Lid Detect script, save, then set old lid detect parameters to 0%...

just went and added script for new lid open tracker. Saved change. Then went to Linkmeter and set lid open settings to 0% and 600. Did a save. Now the SVR is requesting a reboot. Reboot fails. pdf of sys log, reboot graph that came up add when I rebooted. It comes back with reboot failed, and...

When experiencing the lost communication I went to router/s and verified they were connected and or seeing the HM. The HM network information gave the same IP that was found on the router, but the device registration did not show success. If I connected with a hard cable, this took a few try's...

Brian, Doing some testing and ran into something odd. As soon as my grill reached setpoint temp. I got a lid open detection and started to count down. I am including graph showing the trigger. So I found out what the issue was I believe. A screen that I have never seen, probably because I have...

Might have to do a quick test run today to see how it works. I like the other updates added to the update. Definitely going improve the control and HM meter function. Todays test would give me a chance to test placement of thermocouple for big bird cook. Need to locate closer to heat source...

Holy s**t Brian. Nice piece of writing. You have come up with a great solution for the current lid detection algorithm. Any chance Turkey day usage will be available. My turkey is a calling.

Brian, I have seen that before. It looks like to me when I experience this, the graph looks like it instead of plotting maybe once per minute, it plots lets say 60 times per minute. I never associated noise with this when I brought up the noise graph, so I knew on my temp probes were not causing...

Tim, Your graph looks quite normal. My target is 205 and by then, there is nothing but meat left. All fat has been rendered and other collagens and tendons too. Even at the temp you reached, it should have come out tender hopefully with a nice bark and no fats. Same for Boston Butt. Once you hit...

Interesting idea. One thing you will need to be aware of is thermal drift of the heatermeter. I built my original pi3 HM and it worked great. But I did notice that it had lots of thermal drift with the temps. I switched to the latest Pi3+ and it drifts less, but the thermocouple temp still...

Great idea for the microdamper. Now you can get all those wires which can reduce flow and cause other issues out of the body. I might have to print that and install it on my microdamper and give it another try. Well done

Michel, Nice looking graph. What kind of grill are you using. A Couple of things here to add. The control is slow, so biggest mistake I see out there is trying to tune the control to be fast. Your current setup looks good. I use a Primo Jr grill which is on the smaller end of the ceramic grills...

The metals used don't corrode when they are isolated as they are in a plug. For a test, just spray plug with water for a few weeks or just leave them outside in the rain. If you live by the coast and you have salt air from the surf, this is another source of moisture. Living in the the mountain...

I run on battery power so that i do not introduce any 60hz waveforms. I have even enclosed heatermeter in a grounded metal box with a spot for the thermocouple to enter box and connect. This test still showed the same amount of noise. I have even done common mode grounding practices with the...
