Hi Everyone,
I'm new to heatermeter and I'm trying to get my board up and running for the first time, but having issues with connectivity. I'm looking for some quick tips to help me with troubleshooting. Here are the details:
HM 4.3
Raspberry Pi 3B
Symptoms:
-Heatermeter.com/devices is not finding my device, even after correcting the wifi info in the config.txt file
-I do not see the IP address that is now displaying on the HM anywhere in my network when logging in to my router or when plugging the IP address into my browser.
-Secondary to connectivity, my probes are displaying a temperature that is 30 degrees off.
Steps taken:
-Loaded the SD card according to the instructions, including editing the wifi info in config.txt. This is where I made a mistake, there was a typo in my network address field, which I've now fixed and resaved into the SD card.
-Plugged SD into Pi and booted successfully
-Menu/Buttons seem to work
-The probe I bought for this did not connect at all, so I used an old maverick probe (6 years old) and an old meat probe (not sure brand) and they both started reading temps to the LCD, but reading 47 degrees in a 77 degree room.
-I hardwired the pi with no changes to connectivity
-I reset the config on the HM in the LCD menu
-After doing this, I started to notice that an IP address displayed on the LCD shortly after startup now, reading 192.168.201.1. I still am not able to see the device on the heatermeter.com/devices page, and I'm not able to see that IP address referenced anywhere when I log into both my router and network extender to monitor connected devices
-I disabled windows firewall on private networks and still no changes
I'm wondering if this all has to do with me messing up the config file when I first booted the HM. If anyone has any suggestions of where to look first, that would be great.
