Look elsewhere product isn't worth it.
I really wanted to like this product, but its just not ready for prime time. I bought this product at the beginning of this summer and have been using it a lot over the past few months, probably 1-2x a week. If you have line of sight no walls and are within 30 feet this product rocks. The temp at first was mostly accurate and you'll have no issues seeing whats going on in your smoker/grill/oven. Over the coarse of the summer this is what I found out: Product was used with a Samsung Note 4 and Samsung S6 Edge+. The grill is about 7 feet from the back door. Say you have a man cave in your basement that you and the guys like to hang out in when its 90+ you should look elsewhere as this product won't connect even if the phone is placed within 15 feet and 1 wall. Say you are on the first floor of your house, this product won't connect unless you are within 15 feet with phone in hand (If its in your pocket, good luck) If you're on your second floor you have to be about 10 feet away from the back wall. If you're in your attic, well just don't be in your attic. Say you want to use Sidesync while leaving your phone on a window ledge with LOS of the iGrill and within 10 feet,and hooking the phone up to a PC/tablet/laptop via WiFi the product will connect until the batteries in the iGrill reach 60% at which it will start to lose connectivity. Lately ( 4 months past purchase ) I have found that some of the temperature probes have been a bit off. Probes 2 and 3 ( Meat Probes ) have generally been about 10-20 degrees high for the last 2 or 3 cooks. All in all the product is a big let down with too many compromises. If you don't have walls, and can stay within 30 feet of the product its great, but yeah the whole point of the product is so that you can see your temps while chilling back on your sofa drinking a beer... I am a huge tech guy and really love using all sorts of new techie things, but I think I should have gone old school and just gotten one of the old wireless probes for half the price. The only thing that is cool about this product is using Samsung side sync and having the temperature display on one of my side monitors while doing whatever on my main. But that's really more of a Samsung feature than an IGrill.
