freefall_800

Open source replacement control firmware for Masterbuilt Gravity series electronically controlled charcoal smokers, reverse engineered from the stock control PCB and rebuilt from scratch. Basic functionality is working with a fully local control web app, plus an Android app and Home Assistant integration. Ongoing work includes interface refinements and more advanced control sequencing features.
