    HeaterMeter Controller, with Wifi, and Electric Smoker (MES40) Mod in Detail

    I definitely used your PID settings and they held the temp really well. The iphone interface is pretty nice the heatermeter controller is the bomb and  works really well. I had a probe in each of the briskets and everything just worked. Maybe next time I'll use a port forwarding service so I can...

    HeaterMeter Controller, with Wifi, and Electric Smoker (MES40) Mod in Detail

    I think I have identified the ground and signal wire for the relay. It seems it's a 3.3V signal. I have ordered some parts from Amazon, which I hope will allow me to do a completely removable install (I will have to cut some holes in the plastic front plate.
