FAQ’s
Absolutely everywhere. That’s why I purchased it. It functions similarly to the Traeger Grilles WiFire technology, which enables me to monitor one temperature probe, the temperature of the grill, the temperature setting, and others wherever I am as long as I have access to a cell phone or another Wi-Fi network. I wouldn’t require this if Traeger had more temperature probes.
You may check the temperature at the grill level using one of the probes and the accompanying clip.
If you look at its permissions, it requests access to more than just your GPS location. It also requests access to your Device & App history, Identity, Contacts, Location, Photos/Media/Files, Camera, WiFi Connection information, Bluetooth Connection information, Device ID & Call information, as well as your Identity, Contacts, and Location. Without a doubt, that is a security issue.
I am unsure if it will. It still won’t connect to the Wi-Fi, despite my best efforts. I’m not happy with my Wi-Fi Inkbird purchase so far.
With butts, it most definitely works. Depending on how thin you are speaking, I suppose. On 1″ it will undoubtedly work, on 34″ maybe. It would be challenging to insert the probe in the middle as you get considerably thinner. An instant read thermometer might serve you better.
Yes, you can use it to gauge grill temperature with a meat clip.
You can connect to Xfiniti Xfi, of course! Just now! The name and password were the same for both my 5.0 and my 2.4 GHz. I changed the 2.4’s name and password in my network’s “edit” and was then able to join my iPhone to the 2.4 before connecting the InkBird.
Yes, you may configure it to notify you if the temperature falls too low.
Although I haven’t tested, I don’t think so, but the pro app had a Bluetooth setup, so perhaps they could use their Bluetooth on that app.
No, a built-in battery.
Yes, it will keep vibrating until you turn it off. You may do this using your phone, in which case the alarm on the gadget will also be turned off.
