Exciting New Brinsea App Controlled Incubator - Testers Journey!

[muddy75]

Still doing great up here!

We'll be locking down a day sooner than I usually do (five days), so three more days! We'll then head to MN for a family reunion. I feel so much safer knowing I can keep an eye on how my eggs are doing.

Just catching up on this thread! We should start seeing little fluff butts soon! Can’t wait

Bummer... I just candled a few of them and the embyos appear to be stuck on the side marked with an x. I will leave them on their sides with the O facing up and see if they get unstuck.

Did they get unstuck?

Real world Connect news today! I was out running errands and recieved a low humidity alarm from the Brinsea app. When I opened the app it also had a power failure alarm!

I got home and checked everything, all is well, the power must have barely blipped, phew! And yes, the humidity had dipped, my fault on that one

That sounds very helpful! Did the app let you know how long the power was out?

It doesn't, just that there had been an outage. There isn't a battery backup in the incubator so it cannot track that.

We got back last night from being out of state for 4.5 days. Of course, everything was fine. I put a Blink camera in there before we left, so it was neat to show everyone not only on the app how I changed the humidity right there and what the incubator was doing, but they could also see the eggs sitting in it.

I have a very hatching-naive 4th-grade school teacher who wants to learn how to hatch eggs in class next spring. She has been here to help me set the eggs, candle the eggs twice, and put the eggs in lockdown before we left. She was my backup should I have needed anyone to run over to physically do anything, which was very doubtful, but nevertheless, nice to know.

She is on standby to come over when I see them start hatching, so hopefully, it's during the day.
