3 Years On
02/23/2022 at 18:07 • 0 commentsLooks like it's been close to 3 years since I finished this project and it's been working like a champ the whole time. No noticeable differences in response times, etc. so it appears that neither the smoke nor temperature sensors are bothered by the grease that they are regularly exposed to.

Project Update
11/13/2019 at 17:44 • 0 commentsBeen using this project in it's current configuration for ~6 months now without any issues. Definitely had some concern that there would be drift or complete failure of the smoke detector sensor due to the high-grease environment, but nothing yet. I haven't even needed to adjust my parameters for controlling the fan based on temperature or smoke levels, which was surprising.
Been one of those rare projects where it just works! I've been very happy with the responsiveness whenever any cooking begins, it's ramp-up as conditions worsen and with how long it runs after cooking stops. An absolute improvement over manual control of the exhaust fan.
