But does ayone have a guess as to why the problem does not exist on the TIU running without the WIU using the MTH remote? It seems like on the surface that the electronics talking to the engines would be the same whether the "back end" function of connecting with the remote function was to the MTH remote or to a smart phone over the wifi connection?
That pesky problem of the app sitting on top of a 3rd party OS- hoping it's data packets go out the WIFI interface, not the cell data interface, hope they arrive at the WIU, hope it translates it to serial communications to the TIU- hope the TIU sends it to the engine, hope the engine responds in time, hope that response gets back to the TIU, hope the TIU sends the response out to the WIU, Hope the WIU sends it out back over the WIFI- hope it actually gets to your 3rd party device, hope the networking layer gets it to the app- all before it times out.
What could ever possibly go wrong........................
EDIT- the think the amazement is misplaced. You get angry because it doesn't work sometimes, you should be thrilled it ever does it right even once.
