SmartThermo2

I just purchased one of these devices for use with my smoker. While the device HW is good, the app integration with the device leaves much to be desired. First, despite using two probes, I couldn’t find a way to have different settings for each and record at the same time. For example, I wanted channel 1 to use the profile mode for my meet and channel 2 to monitor the temp in the smoker. However, when configuring channel 2 and clicking “start” to overrides the settings for channel 1. I also found the app would override settings configured on the device upon the BT connection reconnecting, leading to false alarms. Finally, it only records and graphs while your settings are active; once you set temp or timer expires, it stops measuring. Very frustrating.

You have to hit START, even when you’re not using the timer. “Start” applies to both functions, and of course, you need to select “allow” when it asks for notification permissions. I didn’t check out the app before buying, so these were concerns I sorted out. Admittedly, it’s not obvious.

It works but lord is it confusing and not intuitive.
