Artisan cannot roast manually with Kaleido M10. How to override the PID control?

It is a shame to confess, but I overlooked something very basic. The default settings from Kaledio had the box "Playback Events" checked. So, Artisan tried to play back the events from the background profile. PID has nothing to do with it. Once I unchecked the box, everything is normal

ADVICE? Kaleido M6 or M10?

Finally, my M10 arrived a few days ago. I like it. Before I used Hottop for several years, and Kaleido is so much better and it is so powerful. I can do anything. I did a few roasts, ruined a couple of the first ones, and now I am enjoying everything. My next step will be to learn

Kaleido Sniper Coffee Roaster

ARTISAN ver 2.8.3 (beta) NOW SUPPORTS KALEIDO AND FAHRENHEITS. I installed it and Config>Machine>Kaleido>Legacy Bingo! You have to change the port baud rate to 9600. For some reason I could not get the edition Config>Machine>Kaleido>Serial running (I have Windows 11, by the way). But the legacy edit...

Artisan cannot roast manually with Kaleido M10. How to override the PID control?

I just got a new Kaleido M10 roaster replacing my old Hottop K+. Generally, I like the new machine, looks solid, much more powerful. However, I ruined already 6 batches with it. Here is the problem. As compared to the Hottop Artisan settings, with Kaleido I have extra buttons "Auto/Manual Power" (Se...

ADVICE? Kaleido M6 or M10?

The price difference is only $250, and I am in indecision. I think I will mostly roast 1 lb at a time, so M6 should be more than enough for that. But I could buy M10 as well, just in case. Is there a difference in getting good roasting profiles? The most important is what I get in the cup

Best home PID electric roaster?

Yes, and I would like to get some recommendation on home Roasters that would not be terribly expensive, and would be electric, as I cannot have a gas roaster even in my basement, I guess

Best home PID electric roaster?

But in #2 and #3 I posted videos where the PID was quite successful, right? So, you are saying that no one can guarantee a similar success for any reasonable profile produced by the designer? My frustration comes from the fact that I did a dozen or more roasts with Hottop during last couple of weeks...

Best home PID electric roaster?

Sorry for an amateur question, but my understanding is that you set up all the alarms before the roast, and yes, it adds consistency. But I do not understand how PID can "cooperate" with the PID control. Can you add alarms on the fly? Maybe it is a naive question, but I don't know much about the
