Sweet!

I think I finally solved the problem. At least it's as good as it's going to get.  This December things went south again.  After that I replaced every wire in the system that had common connections.  I used 18 gage insulated solid copper wire.  The images show the before and after.  It's been good for some time now. 

Have a used (new to me) #2WiFi. Have done a couple simple smokes, and like it so far. The whole Wifi set-up and instructions are a bit confusing, but I mostly understand it now.
One thing I don't get is how to have notifications on the phone. Using Gen2 Wifi module on smoker and an Android phone. I checked to make sure notifications are on for the Smokin It app. Also even turned on unrestricted battery use for the app. When the smoker high temp is reached the controller on the smoker beeps, but nothing on the phone app. Same for when a step in multi-step ends.
Am I missing something? Do you all with Gen2 Wifi get any notifications on your phone from the app, and, if so, are they beeps/vibration or a pop-up message or something else?

I?ve read his posts and have found them very informative! I definitely understand the need to pursue other interests and being a lurker of a couple of years to this platform I appreciate your continued participation! I first came across the smokin Tex or some such, then saw the Smokin-it and just gravitated towards here. I sometime shortly after that point stumbled across Two Guys and a Cooler on YouTube and really became interested in the Smokin-It smoker. I?ll tell you what, though, after yesterday?s brisket I?m SOLD! All in convinced and so were 18 people! I feel it was in my top 5 briskets in the past 20 years, and maybe even top 3. I could?ve used more smoke but after 30 years of smoking and coffee drinking on the high seas my taste buds are slightly dead?. lol! Everybody said it was perfect as is and so I?ll accept the opinion of the general consortium in our gathering. I do feel I was toeing a fine line with the amount of wood used and will keep that in mind on my first salmon smoke. I?ve got a half a cow of Montana?s finest to conquer in my freezer and look forward to getting after it.

If anyone out there is on the fence with Smokin-it rest assured it?s a fine purchase that will serve well many tasks.

Thanks again, Old Sarge! I appreciate your input and look forward to chatting further!

I am new to Smoking It. My new 5Dwifi is having some connection issues I think. The blue light did work fine, it is not working at all now, they all features on my app are working. I have tried to reset, but even then the light does not blink. It does seem to connect though.
I have tried deleting the cooker,
deleting the app,
tried resetting the wifi connection, no visual response at all, ie light does not blink.
When I try to reconnect,
I reinstall the app, search for cooker, it shows up as a connection, put in the password and it connects? it shows up on my iPhone, I have control of the smoker, I can adjust any setting and I can export data, yet the blue light never lights up.i can looks at the cooker when I am away from it, 25mi away.
It was showing correctly and a couple of days ago I was doing a long cook, actually fermenting with it, on 80? it went off during the night and when I got up I had an alarm going off. I reprogramed the cook and it started right back up just no blue light.
