After a long while, I decided to use my Joule. I had nothing but issues because I have to use a new app that won't connect. It could be that my Joule is outdated. Instead of using the unit or buying a new one, I use a pot of water with a thermometer and play testing. For a fraction of the cost, I can now have juicy meat. Everything should've stayed simple and compatible and not this terrible mess.
