Make sure you have the media sound turned up / on .

On the android , if you want to try it again .

Yeah I tried it on two devices, same result. I saw Auber had a forum where someone else posted the issue 6 months ago :(

I have given careful consideration of this Auber unit, and while it has some shortcomings, I would still strongly recommend it. After last nights smoke, I ran autotune again this morning and my MES140S is now a 1 degree machine! I am super stoked! Autotune finished at 12:52, it has been rock steady since then. Blue line is meat temp (cooked and holding in cabinet)
Red line is box temp, green line is element activity. The app works well overall, and the multiple step mode is so freakin cool. Once the unit concludes meat has reached set temp for step 1, it engages step 2 which I have set at 150 to holdover till I’m ready to pull it out

 

[chopsaw]

Good deal . Yeah they're awesome
That's cool you set it all from the app ? I just did ss sausage and set it to ramp and soak . I love it . Cook times are shorter too .

 

[sm0kin]

Yes, the app does it all! I do agree, shorter cook times for sure with the box holding steady.

Nice to hear! Yeah it just takes a little tweaking and once settings are on then a PID controller will keep you super close to set temp. Its like all smoker systems, just gotta get it tuned in and you can rock it out.

I'm glad you have it working so well. Keep enjoying it! :)

While a simple cook, this turkey breast was quick and easy and the Auber did not disappoint

If I may ask, with your parameters for the breast set up in step 1, what is the purpose of going through the other steps?

This was a single step cook to 160F. If I would have used a step 2 it would have been 100F for 4 hours just to keep it warm. The parameter page up above was a prior cook

Thanks! I have been reading through the instructions and cannot figure them out; far too many arrows and flow chart illustrations for me to make sense of it all. The page you provided sure looked simple. I only cook to temp or to time, no ramp up, no holding, etc. and I have not figured out yet what I would do with that system and how to terminate the un-needed steps. I sure wish Auber would publish something simple like you provided. Thanks again.

No problem. This is all from the Auber app, and to be honest, without it I wouldn’t have bought this model.

 

[old sarge]

Well, it sure would be nice to be able to just use the controller at the controller without the application. It has a screen and buttons. But the written instructions have me baffled. Thanks again.

I certainly agree, it is quite a convoluted process manually.

Sarge , what do you need help with ?

On my Auber WS-1510ELPM I didn't want to enter minutes of cook time and just wanted to enter temp when it said C-1 for cook temp and that being it. So when I fire up the PID it is set to the same parameters and temp from the previous smoke. Pressing the set button shows C-1 then the temp and a flashing light next to it meaning it's ready to receive a temp from the + or - buttons. after you make a change with these buttons and hit set to accept the change the flashing light disappears and is set, no need to enter time in minutes. It's at that temp forever till you change the temp. I use the timers on my therms to tell me to ramp up etc if doing sausage/fish. To get to this single stage mode:
-Press/hold Set button till it says Lock, then release it
-Press + to get to the number 3 then press Set button
-It'll show Prg Auto on.
-Press + or - to change to off and press Set and done.

7. Single-step mode In this mode, the controller will hold temperature at one set value (C-1) continuously as long as the controller is powered on. Even if the controller is powered off and turned on again, it will resume working in this mode. You do not need to enter any other program steps in this mode. To enter the single-step mode, the user need to set the parameter “PrG” to “off”. Under the normal operating mode, press and hold SET key for 3 seconds until the Parameter Window displays “LOCK”. Release the SET. The display will show “0”. Use “+” and “-” keys to adjust the display to 3 and press SET. The display will show “PrG” for a second and then the value “on”. Use “+” or “-” key to toggle between “on” to “off”. Select “off” and press SET key if you want to enter the single-step mode. Otherwise, select “on” and press SET key to enter the program mode. The controller will go back to the normal operating mode. To set the temperature, press SET key once, and the window will show “C-1”. Use “+” or “-” key to adjust the temperature in the window, then press SET to save and exit.

I have used the SI3D with no problems. I will admit that I am digitally handicapped. But the instructions were fairly straightforward and I have really enjoyed it. So Auber has a new wifi model and the instructions are baffling, at least to me. I contacted them shortly after it came out and asked for something simple for cooking to time and a set of instructions for cooking to temp. Great folks over there but no go. They said use the app, real simple. I was to understand how to set it without the app, at the unit itself. It should be simple and I am probably over thinking it; and being the stubborn old man that I am, I will not use the app. I always go to the manual and look at that confusing mess of boxes and arrows and decide that some things are just meant to be.

I have the 1510 elpm . Not sure how that compairs to what you have . Forget the flow charts .
So I'm guessing the 3D is non pid , and you are adding the Auber wifi controller ?
I just looked at the instructions for the wifi model . The section you want is controller config 7.1 .
Table 2 . So as an example . " Food high alarm " Probe 2 . The range shows the adjustable hi / low settings .
Initial " 350 " is the default that it's set to now . Note 3 ( scroll down the page ) talks about the function of the setting .
Change the value ( temp ) by using the arrow buttons .
I know you don't want to use the app ,,,, but seems that's the easier way to set it up .

 

[old sarge]

Thanks. The 3D is a PID. Pretty straightforward. After setting the box temp and IT or Time, the other steps are zeroed out. For what it is worth, I have not purchased the new Auber wifi. I will go back through the instructions again. And thanks!
