We'll see how it goes. Cooking a chuck roast right now with the new one that came in yesterday. It does seem that the Bluetooth is way more stable with this one. No dropouts And looks like I was a bit wrong about graphs. If you go into any one graph it saves them for all probe graphs. (Not intuitive but that's what it does)

I had the exact same thing happen. Just got one and they are sending a new Signals today although I suspect it has nothing with the hardware and is software related. It seems that when you "Save and start a new graph" while a cook is going on all heck can break loose. The app crashed, I lost connection and then the actual Signals unit was frozen. Temp was frozen a bit lower than the target temp so the fan was going non-stop and the unit wasn't registering the actual temp since it was frozen. That's kind of scary if you are away and can't fix the problem. I ended up unplugging the fan. Unplugging everything and eventually I could get the unit to turn off by holding the power button for a LONG time. Hope they work out the software kinks though because the unit holds temp VERY well. It's not a variable fan but when it's close to temp it turns of an on repeatedly like a bellows. Seems to work really well. Doesn't have a lot of bells and whistle's and the way the graph part is done is rather wonky. It should have a global option to start or end cook. Instead you have to go to each graph and choose to save and create new graph. It automatically starts a new one after 24 hours or so. I'm assuming that will get addressed. Also seems to be issues with the wifi/bluetooth setup. If wifi goes out bluetooth is supposed to take over. I have a really strong wifi setup but it went out a few different time and bluetooth wasn't found either (even though I was standing right next to it). Trying a few things brings it back. i.e. restarting Signals, logging in and out of the app etc. etc.. I know it sounds like I'm dogging it but I think when they get these software issues worked out in the app, probably their cloud setup and firmware updates it'll be a real winner. I imagine the open lid detection will be added soon as well. That's not a hard algorithm to program. I just unplug the Billows if I have to have the lid up for more than 10 seconds or so (annoying but not a big deal) The thing that scares me though is the fan running and not turning off. If that happens with the new unit they send I'll have to return it. Being away from the house, not being able to connect and wondering if the fan is going non-stop is kind of scary. Could turn that thing into a furnace.
