Auber 1520 wifi question....

[rabbit59]

Can I add a step In a recipe to start power to smoke controller? I have a masterbuilt cold smoke adapter. If I say, dry sausage 2 hours at 120, then want my smoke to start after drying, I don't see a step to start power to smoke generator? I just bought my auber 1520 and have it set to my wifi, but haven't learned the app yet....thank you

The last paragraph under features says it has a sync'd AC outlet that can be used to control a smoke generator .

I agree. But under steps , which can be up to 6, has nothing relating to starting smoke generator. In fact, as soon as you input a temperature in step one, the output sends power to smoker. I don't like that. I want a program the whole smoke, then push a start of some sort. I'm kinda sorry I spent the money now......

I have a 1510 , not the wi fi . If I'm setting steps I run through the whole thing , then cycle the on off switch .
If that has 2 power outlets , it should have a designation for the second outlet to power up and power down .

I have never tried it on mine. I'm still trying to work thru some connection issues. Perhaps zwiller will chime in on this one. He likely knows more about the wifi model than most of us.

Connection was the easy part for me. Make sure you are connecting to the 2.4 ghz and not the 5ghz port. These only work with 2.4.

Had to dig... I think the smoke generator is controlled via "relay action" and appears that it can be done in steps. Programming seems little old school/binary code. How do you want to set it up? Looks like a sausage ramp type program.

Yes.....summer sausage. Dry at 130 for 2 hours, raise to 140 and add smoke, one hour. Raise to 150 for one hour with smoke. Raise to 170 until internal hits 152. Also....can this app alarm on my phone at internal temp target instead of auber unit? It sits in my shop beside smoker and alarm won't be
heard....ty so much for any help

Old school hackers (before it became a dirty word) like me understand this binary stuff, but it is not very intuitive for the general audience. You apparently want a 4 step program as such:

1) 130 for 2 hours, no smoke.
2) 140 for 1 hour, with smoke.
3) 150 for 1 hour, with smoke.
4) 170 until internal 152, no smoke.

For the relay action binary stuff, this equals=
0*1 + 1*2 + 1*4 + 0*8 = 5

User interface could be better for sure.

Holy crap. I get it I think. Why didn't they just include a chart saying if you want relay on at ie; and list all the combinations with the number you would chose......or actually add it to the program in the steps. Very clunky for sure.....

Actually.....wouldn't it be 6? 0*1 is zero...so 2+4? Just asking.....

Not an alarm but a notification gets sent to your phone at all steps.

Agree with you and think setting is "6" for relay.

Yep, 6. Brain fart.

Thank you for your help. That's what makes this site so great!!!
