Has anyone tried this? If so, can you give me your opinion on it?

EDIT: Here's thread
quote:I went ahead and bought a redi-check brand wireless thermometer to hold me until the Meater gets done...if that ever happens. I've used it twice and it works well. I'm a little worried the ambient thermometer might be off slightly, but I'm going to test it tonight with an oven thermometer. I like the functionality a lot though.
Latest email has pushed back again and more likely August, so they say

Will update later, off to buy premium brisket.
Same for me. It's cool but just doesn't work near as well as the other comparable products...well the igrill 2. There really isn't a comparable product. In 5 years when they get all the kinks worked out and it works through 1/4" steel from further away than 5 feet it might be pretty cool.Random Ag said:
I would not buy it...it's significantly off from my thermoworks. It's a cool idea and pretty but I'm disappointed with the function
I would be interested in beta testing. I currently use the Thermoworks Smoke, Bluetooth functionality only, for all my cooks. I plan to add the wifi gateway eventually, but it's still limited to dual probes. Great product nonetheless.Leeman said:
A friend (fellow Ag) and I have been working on a Wifi/internet thermometer device for some time. We are about ready to look for others (beta testers) to try it out and give us feedback.
The unit has a lithium battery, ports for 4 probes, a two line LCD display and uses Wifi (much longer range than bluetooth) to connect to the internet (obviously your home router). We have android and iOS apps in addition to a web interface. You can be at the store or at a friends house and monitor your smoker !
Alarms (notifications) can be setup for max and/or minimum temperature for each probe. For example, you can setup one probe to monitor your brisket temperature (with target temperature) and another to monitor your smoker temperature (with min and max temps).
Sessions are recorded in a database in the cloud which can be observed real time (graphs) or at a later date (for comparisons, etc).
My experience with bluetooth probes had been poor. The iGrill I have would barely get through an exterior wall into the house.agcrock2005 said:
How do you like he cyber q compared to igrill2? I really like my igrill2 and don't know what it would take for me to like something better. Have 1/4" steel pit and I can't be pretty far away and still connect to my phone. I guess I'd like for it to connect to my network so I could leave my house but that's it.
I'd be down to beta test. I live in the mountains of WV and winter is coming. I often have overnight cooks in cool/cold weather, if you want to do some robustness testing in cold weather.Leeman said:

Sorry. Meant to say i "can" be pretty far away. I've had great luck with mine.Leeman said:My experience with bluetooth probes had been poor. The iGrill I have would barely get through an exterior wall into the house.agcrock2005 said:

I am down the "road" in San Antonio and would be willing to handle shipping if needed. Sign me up for testing alongside the Thermoworks Smoke. Email in profile.Leeman said:
Any of you guys in the Cedar Park/Round Rock/Austin area ?
We are ironing out "Over the Air" updates for the unit. When that is working reliably, then we will be ready to get a few beta testers.
I'd be interested as well.Leeman said:

I would be so in. I'm in DFW.Leeman said:

I'd definitely be in for testing. Been putting off buying the Thermoworks Smoke with Gateway now that that has been released, or deciding if I wanted to step up to a Flame Boss 300 for my Akorn.Leeman said:
