main problem with these DIY T12 stations is simply they are manufactured not by companies but by chinese amateurs on CNC thats why 99,9999% of these soldering stations have funny potentiometer (rotary encoder) instead of three simply buttons to set temperature !!! it seems they have big problem to drill 3 smallest holes for buttons to make these stations managment much more better just take a look on aliexpress most or (whole) of oldest design 936 soldering stations to use with older tips technology have buttons to setup temperature like they should because they manufactured by chinese companies !
When you press it and turn it clockwise, the boost will increase to +50 and it will return to normal operation to -50 at the end of the set time, please, a final touch. Also, although I choose sleep at the beginning in the settings, there is no sleep at the beginning, it starts to work normally.
Erm... 65 euro for that, must be a joke...

2) encoder is not pot
3) angle of screen does nothing with job. its not a clock
I decided to keep the diode in. Seems to be pretty stable this way without modifying anything at the stand at all. And worst case the voltage level is still too low and the iron does not properly leave standby mode. Not that big of a deal. I can still fix this problem if I really have issues in future.
Maybe I now have found the first small issue. I have a "Standby time" set in the "IRON" menu. I also would like to keep this in case I unplug the holder and want to use the small station "on the go" with a holder without switch. In this case I only want to change one setting (stand to vibration switch). The way it is programmed currently, a configured "Standby time" combined with "stand switch mode" causes the iron to go into standby while working with it if it is not placed regularly to the stand. In my opinion in "Stand mode" the "Standby time" setting should be ignored. Only the "Sleep time" should be still active but the iron should only go to sleep if it is kept into its stand for the full "sleep time" value.
The timeouts are always active, even in stand mode.
However they won't be refreshed without the shake sensor.
