AuberWifi

Great system and application. Most critical is that it is connected to a 2ghz network. If your router has a combined 5 and 2 ghz network, it will likely be unreliable. Get a cheap $20 router that has a dedicated 2ghz network and you’ll be set.

I love working with this app when I am grilling. There are two significant improvements that I would love to see. First, there needs to be an IWatch app to go with this that would show the Pitt temp along with the food temperatures. Second, there needs to be an option in the iPhone app that would allow you to save settings for particular menu items such as a saved Salmon setting, a Brisket setting, a Pulled Pork Setting, A Prime Rib setting, etc. I would like to see the ability to name and save 8-10 settings. With this feature, you could simply recall the item you are cooking and it would populate the Pitt temperature, the low and high warnings, the desired ending food temperatures. If it could also save the step programs as well, that would be great as well. Both of these suggestions would seem reasonable upgrades that should not be that difficult to add.

The app for the Auberwifi Smoker controller works like a charm when you can get it to sync with the controller. Making the connection is not intuitive, and the device manual isn’t helpful in setting up the sync. Once you figure it out, it’s a great tool with a lot of flexibility, and the controller is extremely accurate.
