CyberQ WiFi Web Service Info (Super Nerdy)

Splash top uses tons of server-side infrastructure to make that possible. They even proxy for connections (like mobile) that don't allow incoming. How would you connect to a guru that has no outbound net connection? Totally different from the guru, although I agree they should have built all the graphing etc into the device directly..

In my world, if you like a function that another has programmed, you buy that function along with the obligation that they integrate it into the whole. BBQ Guru could have paid $8K for the function, or employed the programmers. Instead, BBQ Guru executives decided to do neither, with the result as you see.
 
Shipped my old Guru today....so it looks like I am moving forward with the WIFI version. The app looks great can't wait to try it!
 
Gosh darn you! This app may push me over the edge to buying the CyberQ. I'm surprised BBQ Guru isn't jumpin up and down about it. It's exactly this kind of easy interface that makes the difference for most non-tech types.

I think there is going to be a minor explosion of mobile apps and websites amongst the bbq community that tie into this thing. I also have talked to bob a couple times and they are definitely listening to what people are asking for. Their enhancements for the first firmware update seem spot on. I know we have a couple apps in progress and I also know of another gentleman building something very sweet that ties into the guru wifi so much more to come in the near future I think. Thank the guru guys for making it so easy to integrate with.
 
I was about to pull the trigger on one of these. Thumbs up or thumbs down. Was it rushed to the market?

Personally, I wish I had gotten the cyberq ii instead.

Thanks to palmtreefrb (http://www.wedonet.net/) I have my data from a 20+ hour cook on an XL BGE and a pretty good Boston Butt to show for it.

I live at 6080' altitude, so cooks always take much longer than what's common at lower altitudes and the data displays that. Also, I use the dome temperature to cook at, so granted, 225 degrees is going to be much cooler at the grate.

I needed the butt to be ready for lunch on the second day of the cook (today), so I foiled it at 160 IT at the 17-hour point and the graph reflects the drop in temperature of the BGE when I opened the lid at 5:30a.

I turned up the CyberQ Wifi to 275 just prior to 9 AM. Then, I further turned up the CyberQ Wifi just after 11 AM to 300 degrees for the next hour and 20 minutes until done.

A couple of programming problems that I have noticed with the software from palmtreefrb. When I reset the temperature up from the original 225 to 275 or 300, the dashboard displaying the pit temperature never changed from 225 being the max before being in the red. Also, I didn't see a way to successfully delete unwanted data in the database, such as a test run. Other than that, holy smokes. A great program to document cooks with the CyberQ Wifi.

I hope the picture below isn't too obnoxiously large. Disregard the extraneous data at the very end. Butt was pulled in the 198 degree range. I used two probes to verify the temperature thoughout the cook.

As far as the CyberQ Wifi itself goes, five hours into the cook the temperature rose to 13 degrees above the set cook temperature of 225 degrees. I was thinking that maybe a chunk of oak took off. On the flip side, during the night, it dropped 6 degrees below the set cook temperature for no particular reason that I could see. I can definitely identify the stall and the phases that occured when going though those temps.

On the "Cook Settings" tab the "Submit" button will post your setpoint changes to the Wifi controller. The "Update" button will fetch data from the controller. Sorry about the confusion.

Ok, next version I will add the ability to edit and delete from the database.

Incidentally, I tried to post the bash script that produced the chart above, but the forum server rejects it. If there's interest, I'll see if one of the forum mods can post it on my behalf.

[Edit: this post will not make any sense until the previous post clears moderation. I guess images trigger the filter.]

I'm not 100% sure what triggered that post going into moderation. Just having an image wouldn't do it, but maybe it was the image URL.

Sorry it took a while to find it. Weekends can be tough around here with other stuff going on, and this one was hard to spot since it was in the middle of an established thread.

No problem. Thanks for taking care of it.

Looking at the iThing apps above, I feel like such a geezer, clinging to my shell and vim and gnuplot...
 
CyberQ Wifi app set up

Hi guys I am a newbee on this forum. I have three Guru products a Digq DX2 a CyberQ II and a CyberQ Wifi. I was getting ready to give up on the CyberQ wifi until I read you guys post. The thing I missed the most on the Wifi model was the software like the cyberQ II has.until now I saw the app and it gives me hope. I have downloaded the software and will be trying it this weekend. I do have one question. Do I have to have the CyberQ Wifi on adhoc mode or will it work in infrastructure mode? Wight now I have it on infrastructure mode and port forwarded. Thanks
 
It will work in both mode's. Just enter your IP address in settings.
Note: I believe under adhoc mode only one connection is allowed.

Thanks for the fast reply. Now do I put the routers IP because I have forwarded the port or the IP of the CyberQ Wifi?

Port forwarding only matters for connecting from outside your local network. If your computer is on the same network as the CyberQ (e.g., your home network) then enter the CyberQ IP address. If your PC is outside of your home network then you would use the Router public IP address.
 
Palm,
I just sent a message via your website. The installation fails for me... Take a look and let me know if you have any ideas.
 
Will I be able to run this app if I only monitor from a laptop / PC, or do I need an cell phone to do it?

Thanks,
 
Guys thanks for all the help. Still not to happy with my CyberQ Wifi :tsk:. Did a dry run Sat. the CyberQ Wifi would drop from my router about every 15 mins. so had to buy and install a repeater so I could get a better signle out side. Did some ribs today and the software worked great over 6 hours low and slow. My cyberQ II worked great and the software was great. Cant make up my mind on which one to keep using. Guess I will wait for a frimware up date and a Ipad app. before I make a decision. Thank you all
