Title: MNBTDIY
Post by: LilMT on August 06, 2021, 04:36:44 PM
I see the new MNBTDIY dongle for Bluetooth to the DIY controllers.

And in the documentation I see reference to a BT-2 for Ethernet to Bluetooth.

Would either of these work with Classic 250?

Thanks,
LilMT

Different dongles.
Matt has been working diligently on the Classic Dongle though. I expect we can have beta units available very soon. Please send Beta Dongle requests to Ryan@midnitesolar.com.
I am sure we can come up with at least a dozen dongles. The reason it has taken so long is that we are attempting to make the phone app for this to be the same one for the Barcelona, B17, Rosie etc.
I will let you know about our progress here. Today is Friday and I get the reports from our engineers on Fridays.

I don't think so ?   

The software for the Classics are our own doing.

Would be nice though, wouldn't it !

The DIY series come with those products already and not made here in Arlington like the Classics are.

Look in the open source section.   There is a project for Classic that uses ESP32 to make a port that you can get to using wifi.
Also look here https://github.com/ClassicDIY
