Stoker Log Lost Connection Problem Resolved (I Think)

[Aaron Moore]

So after banging my head against the wall wondering why I keep losing connection to the stoker, I think I finally figured out the simple problem.

First I upgraded the stoker firmware to version to 2.6.0.221 (mine came shipped with version 2.6.0.200)
Still had lost connection problem.

Next I upgraded stokerlog to Version 5 Final Release.
Still had lost connection problem.

While examining the graph I noticed that it seemed that approx every 20 minutes I would lose connectivity.

I looked at the power save options on my laptop and sure enough the system was set to hibernate and sleep after 20 minutes.
I disabled the sleep and hibernate option.
I restarted the stoker log and have been monitoring the ambient temp of the basement for the past 11 hrs without losing connectivity.

I only share this in hopes that someone else experiencing lost connections may benefit.

Thanks for all the support from ATCS users.

yes, hibernate needs to be off.

One other trick I did when mine was new. I placed the temp sensor by the air duct so when the house air kicks on ... the fan will kick on.
