    Pulse Mode vs Voltage Mode. Can someone break it down for me?

    I have the HM 4.3 with R-Pi 3b+. I'm having trouble wrapping my head around which mode i should choose for myheatermeter. It appears the wiki seems to suggest that maybe only the 4.2 can handle voltage mode, and therefore the 4.3 should be put in Pulse mode? From the wiki: "Voltage mode is...

    Trying to replace Q1. Got wrong part. Is 2N7000 interchangable with BS170

    I did test before it went in the case and the issue was definitely present so I don't think my issue was related to Q1 getting damaged when inserting into the case. I think it was a soldering issue

    Trying to replace Q1. Got wrong part. Is 2N7000 interchangable with BS170

    Brian, I have another theory about why Q1 could be an issue, it might not be the explanation but it was just a theory. I followed your assembly video on YouTube. In the video, the first of the BS170s you install is Q1. If most people are like me, we haven't don't a lot of soldering and Q1 is the...

    How do you guys check up on your HM from your phone when you're away from home? Do you just log into the IP address from google search bar and just use the non-mobile version of the site?

    PitDroid not connecting. it was a few days ago

    Yea, i forgot to mention that. I made sure to be on the same exact network at the R-Pi. I also made sure to use the same IP address in the PitDroid app that i am successfully monitoring from my computer. Lastly, I also put in the admin password. Even after all 3 of those things, The app still...

    PitDroid not connecting. it was a few days ago

    Any advice? I just built my HM 4.3 a few days ago. When i initially finished it, PitDroid worked great with all the probes in and they immediately showed up on the app as I plugged them into the HM. But i had fan issues and I ended up having to replace Q1 with a new BS170. Afterwords the fan...

    Trying to replace Q1. Got wrong part. Is 2N7000 interchangable with BS170

    Thank you for the reply. I honestly ended up ordering a BS170 online just to be safe. I did replace the Q1 and that fixed the fan issue though! Seems to be the explanation for a lot of people with fan issues

    Trying to replace Q1. Got wrong part. Is 2N7000 interchangable with BS170

    So I'm having issues with my fan. I'm trying to replace the part Q1 on my HM4.3 board since i read that that is the main culprit of my issue. I went to the parts store today and got a new MOSFET to install. However when i got home, i noticed that the part looks the same, but it is not labeled...

    New User. Adapt-a-damper: Fan speed is constant no matter the setting

    Hi, New user here and getting things set up for the first time. HM 4.3 with RPi 3B+. I bought the Adapt-a-damper kit. I was able to get the damper to work where it opens the same percentage as what is set on the controller. However, the issue I'm having is that the fan speed is completely...

    help! I finished the soldering. HM won't boot. Im at a loss at how to troubleshoot

    Ok. Thank you so much for the help! I spent the last hour troubleshooting on my own. It ended up being that i installed the wrong version of the HM software, i guess one of them (The Latest Stable Release) is not compatible with the 3B+. Now I got everything to boot up. Regarding the 100K...

    Hi, Its my first time using a HM. I got the 4.3 - four-thermistor kit and I'm using a 3B+ RPi to run it. I finished all the soldering last night, which i thought went well. I mounted the image onto my MicroSD card from the heatermeter.com/dl site, i put the SD card into the rasberry pi and...
