Good reading.

I tried it last night on a ~75 min spatchcock chicken. I was even able to get my firewall punched through so I can control the cook from beyond my home Internet. I tested it with my cell phone through the cell towers with wifi turned off. :clap2:Try 1.5 first before you revert.
And so the day began with that heavy feeling of having eaten way too much pork the night prior. But no matter. I was on a roll. A mission. Today was the day I would step that much more closely to success.I'd have to navigate the rest of it- including a new firmware update to 1.5- the next day.
On my ~ 5 hour (so far) baby back cook today, it's crashed about 5 times. :doh: I will be reverting back to 1.2 this week. For now, it's allllmmost time for ribs! :clap2:Try 1.5 first before you revert.
Been awhile, eh? I ended up scared to death of reverting from 1.5 back to 1.2. I had email notifications working (between system farts and manual reboots). I had The Pit Pal app installed and working (also between the crashes). And I cooked for about 8 months with the CyberQ WiFi making sure I was always near home for a manual reset.On my ~ 5 hour (so far) baby back cook today, it's crashed about 5 times. :doh: I will be reverting back to 1.2 this week.

That, dear readers is what you get for dropping out of the forums for almost a full year. The answer was here all along. Long live the brethren. :clap2:Great read! I got mine last weekend and had trouble getting it to find my home network, but I sent an email to BBQ Guru one evening and Chuck (with BBQ Guru) called me the next morning and got me fixed up. He got me uploaded to 1.7 and indicated that 1.8 should be out soon.

I have two Pi's. One of them was my daughter's (age 11) take home from a class last year on futzing with a Pi. I had to unhide my 802.11 network for something, but it wasn't the CyberQ. I think it was a tablet or... Maybe my Android phone... Anyway. SOMETHING around the house wouldn't see the hidden network a long time ago. I haven't tried with the Pi because I haven't needed to.You sound too nerdy to purchase an off the shelf solution. For shame!
Have you heard of Raspberry Pi or Heatermeter? I'll bet you one nerd dollar that you can't get an RPI connected to a hidden WiFi network. I'll GIVE you five USD to show me how, because I had to un hide my said to get things working! :/
(Not actually running any HM images yet, just regular RPI ones.)
Glad you bumped this post. Very interesting read.
