That was me. Thanks for all that experience. Current state of play here is: (a) wife wants an oven she can depend on for Christmas; her campaign to scrap the oven and buy a new one is heating up (b) I'm looking at existing oven's relays and thermo-probes, considering what components I can retain to be controlled by a Pi. Managed to get a wiring diagram today from the manufacturer (which is De Dietrich, whose UK affiliate went bust a year or two ago; I learned today that a new UK distributor stepped in only recently). -- Jim Nagel www.archivemag.co.uk >> "from" address is genuine but will change. website has current one.
