Don't know if it's been discussed before...but I was 'thinking' and thought it would be pretty easy to use a cheap tilt sensor on the hinge of my kamado to detect/trigger a "lid open" event.
Here's a sample of simple device....
I guess we could even connect it to a probe input (2.5 mm male jack) and change the software a bit to use a probe input as a "lid detect"....
maybe it's overkill and the current lid open offset is works good enough.....but its an idea I may try for the fun of it.....
