Winter has arrived!
11/13/2019 at 17:29 • 0 commentsWinter came a little early in the mid-western US. On the plus side, that's meant we've been building fires and I've been able to further test and refine this project. I've been updating the temperature & fan speed set-points as well as playing with the sleep cycle times to see how it impacts battery life (so far I'm in the multiple weeks realm of battery life, would love to get to months). No finalized code yet, but I will update when I'm done tweaking it.
In regards to the lock-up issues I've experienced with the temperature sensor, I'm still working on this. It seems likely that for the foreseeable future I'll have to use the cloud connection instead of solely the mesh connection.

Temperature Sensor Code Issues
09/19/2019 at 18:11 • 0 commentsShortly after publishing this project, I started getting random lock-ups with my temperature sensor controller/code. Been working on it since and ultimately got it working longer-term by getting rid of SYSTEM_THREAD(ENABLED) and the associated internet/cloud/mesh connection code. However, I'd still really like to have it work by only connecting to the mesh network (as opposed to requiring an internet/cloud connection) and will keep working on getting there. I'll update here and on the github once I hopefully get it working the way I'd like.
