I wonder if the guys at Guru have looked at a possibility of going with a new hardware platform for say CyberQ 2.0 utilizing the Raspberry PI platform. It's cheap enough, at $25 a unit and having seen a few already home DIY projects for home brewers using it for Temp and fan controls I thought might be an idea.
Once I settle on a Smoker I already know I am going with a CyberQ ... until I read this forum I was worried I was going to have to code an Android App interface but looks like that was taken care of by Chad (thanks) and Palmtree - dude that windows app is tight! Thanks for all your hard work. (Sorry not an Apple user - lol) Gerry

Got my CyberQ Wifi this week. It came with Firmware v1.1. The faceplate of my unit has a bit of a different look to it than the ones I've seen.
This thing is a breeze to set up. I powered it on, connected to it directly with an iPad(the Guru comes set in ad hoc mode), and immediately went into the Wifi Setup. I changed it over to infrastructure mode, typed in my router's SSID and password, submitted the values and rebooted the device. Gave the CyberQ a minute or so to boot up, logged into my router(DIR-655), and could see the Cyberq was connected as it was listed under my router's wireless clients info. I then assigned the CyberQ Wifi's MAC a static IP address from my router, and forwarded Port 80 to the Guru's static IP, and BOOM, I can connect to and configure the CyberQ Wifi from anywhere! It took me maybe all of 5 minutes to complete. I wish all of my electronic gadgets ect. would "just work" the way this thing does! I envisioned a lot of troubleshooting. Now, onto the apps discussed here. First off, I installed palmtreefrb's Windows controller software on my desktop PC. Everytime I launch it, it gives me the following error message: I click "Continue" on the error box and it disappears. From that point the program appears to run fine. I typed in my Guru's IP address and the controller software immediately connected to it and started reading the temp probes etc. Now, after clicking the "Stop Cook" button, when I try to close out of the program I get another error: I have to go into the Windows Task Manager in order to shut the program down. Moving on to HKChad's CyberQ BBQ Monitor for Android. I installed the app on my Droid Charge, typed in my router's WAN IP address into the "Server Name" setting under Preferences, and let 'r rip. The app picked up my CyberQ Wifi right away. No glitches, it works great! Oh, and I decided to purchase this little accessory for the CyberQ Wifi when I ordered it. Big thanks to HKChad and Palmtreefrb for all the work you guys have done creating the apps for the CyberQ Wifi etc. Much appreciated! All in all, I can't wait to cook with my new gear!

Gnomatic, try right click run as administrator. If that doesn't work Rick will have to help.

I don't know why, but some users have to set the application properties to "Run as administrator"
There are two places you can set this. On the Desktop icon or in the executing program folder. Depending on your version of windows it can be C:\Program Files (x86)\wedonet or C:\Program Files\wedonet Right click, select Properties, select Compatibility tab then Check "Run this program as administrator"" Quote:

I have a new CyberQ Wi Fi that's still in the box. I was going to use it to monitor temps only. I don't need a blower control on my smoker. After reading all of this, I think I'll sell it and just use my Maverick ET732. There are some very smart people on here. Great job!

This is a great site and a very helpful thread for issues with the CyberQ Wifi. I recently got the CyberQ Wifi and had troubles setting it up on my home network, iPhone and iPad. I discovered there are issues you have to know about if you use Apple products (which I do) and I thought it would be helpful to include solutions to these issues in this thread.
1. I couldn't connect the CyberQ Wifi to my home network in ad hoc mode. I have an Apple Airport Extreme router connected to an iMac desktop. I made sure the wireless card was turned on on my iMac. When I plugged in the CyberQ, I could see the CyberQ on the list of devices on my iMac, but still the CyberQ wouldn't connect. SOLUTION: The CyberQ can connect to only one device at a time in ad hoc mode. It was connecting to the Airport Extreme and therefore couldn't connect to the iMac. To fix this issue I completely powered down the Airport Extreme router by unplugging it. I then restarted the CyberQ and could easily connect to my Mac. 2. Before trying the above solution, I tried using my iPad and iPhone to connect to the CyberQ. Again, I could see the CyberQ Wifi on the list of available wireless networks on both my iPad and iPhone, but neither would connect. SOLUTION (Not really a solution, but the answer): Apple's iOS 6 operating system does not support anything in ad hoc mode. Give up trying to connect to your CyberQ Wifi with an Apple product using iOS 6. This information is from Damian at BarBQ Guru. 3. After connecting my iMac to the CyberQ Wifi as in step 1 above, I configured my Airport using these very helpful instructions: http://www.bbq-brethren.com/forum/sh...d.php?t=135197 , and started using my CyberQ in infrastructure mode. 4. When I would use Safari in my iMac to control the CyberQ, everything worked great. Not so with Safari in my iPhone or iPad. The information on the CyberQ web page would not update (this issue occurs only with Safari on the iPhone and iPad). SOLUTION: This is an issue with Safari for iOS 6. Download and install the Chrome web browser (free!) and use it to connect to and control the CyberQ. Works perfectly! I hope this is helpful for those who have Apple stuff. |

But true WiFi remains elusive for me. I have not been able to connect to my home WiFi Cisco Linksys router. I have no problem accessing the router and subsequent Internet with my Apple and my MS-windows products. Wish list: 1. An app to automatically set up my CyberQ WiFi connected to my Linksys and the Internet 2. Failing #1 above, then allow the cool CyberQ apps designed for WiFi and discussed on this site to also work in Adhoc mode. |

CyberQ Wifi Infrastructure Mode SSID Case Sensitive
Quote:
I had problems getting mine to work on Infrastructure mode. The problem was that I needed to set my SSID exactly as it is defined on the router. This means that the SSID on the CyberQ is Case Sensitive. Haven't seen that before but I typically don't have to type in an SSID. Hope this helps |

BBQ Remote for iPhone and Android
Hi Everyone,
We have received alot of feedback from people testing the iPhone and Android App for the BBq Guru. I have noticed that there are alot of people trying to download and install the app from the website. If you are unable to download and install this means that the app certificate has not been signed with your specific device id (UDID). Once the app is released to the app store for iPhone and Android this is no longer and issue. The website link is only used for beta testers. We have received alot of feedback from some of the beta testers and we are currently in the process of updating/enhancing the app and will be releasing it to the app stores soon. Sorry for not getting this out sooner but we were pulled away on another mobile project. I will post some more information on the website of some upcoming features in the app. Such as a twitter like stream were people can post pictures and text of their cooks and other people who have the app will be able to veiw. You will also be able to upload the pics directly to twitter and facebook. I will post some updated screenshots on the website when they are available. If anyone has some ideas they would like to see in the app. Please email [email protected] Thank You AppDesignGeeks |

My wife did not want to get me the CyberQ WIFI for X Mas so she told me to go get it and that she would be upset if I did not. So I took her advice Now all I have to do is figure out how to use it and put it on my I Phone and or computer- a Dell
