You need only to make sure the smoker temperature is STABLE
But some customers ask for this function and I add it on the web interface.
To add it on the controller itsself, it needs big LCD or LED, much more extra cost.

Wang - it is VERY IMPORTANT to me to know how much time has passed in a given cycle and I am sure the same is true for most people that might buy your controllers. You do not need a bigger display, you merely need to count down the TC time display for each phase.

What version of the lion firmware did you end up with? Version 4?

I don't know how to tell, but I ordered it at the beginning of this past April and it arrived near the end of that same month.

Wang - do you know the firmware version of the Lion that you shipped to me?

So it is V4.

In next version I may add "time- count down" or " Accumulated time".
There is such feature in FOX and Bear

Will I be able to upgrade the firmware by downloading the file from you and then uploading it to the Lion?

Is it possible to download the data from the Lion? Can I access the data via telnet or ssh?

Ok guys, I need the internet connection for dummies. I want to be able to do both, connect to the home wifi and be able to connect while traveling away from home internet. I can't get anything up except connected to Golden-Lion. Any help would be great. Thanks.

I got you covered. I can explain it all to you in beautiful detail, but I am away from my home setup. I hope to lay everything out nicely this weekend.

In the mean time, there are a few posts which basically put me on the right track. I can point these out to you if you cannot wait.

There is an excellent write up on Page 7 of this thread on how to configure the Golden-Lion so it can be controlled via your home WIFI network.

To control it via the Internet, you will need to configure your gateway router/firewall to allow port forwarding to the Lion. The config will vary depending on the router/firewall manufacturer.

Jamiwa is correct. These are the same instructions I followed. But it can be difficult to follow and I made a couple of mistakes. I will work on enhanced instructions tomorrow.
