This WiFi Enabled Interactive Temperature Controller controls the temperature of your EGG for worry-free cooking. Remotely manage the cooking temperature of the EGG, monitor the temperature of your food, and receive alerts when your cook is finished. Control the device through your smartphone, tablet or computer to remotely manage and monitor the internal temperature of the Egg Monitor the temperature of your food; view graphs of your cooks Receive alerts when your cook is finished or when the Egg temperature is too high or low Quickly and easily reach your desired cooking temperature as the blower ramps up to fan the lighted charcoal; once the desired temp is reached, the variable speed blower automatically adjusts the blower speed to optimize the set temperature Automatically lowers the pit temperature to keep your food warm when the cook is complete Detects the sudden temperature drop from opening the dome and turns the fan off temporarily to avoid over-stoking the fire In the case of a power outage, the unit continues running at the saved set temperature and reconnects to the WiFi network automatically when power returns Includes 2 industrial-duty thermometer probes for accurate readings to 500F/260C. Use up to 3 meat probes at once additional meat probes with Y-cable can be purchased separately Use up to 3 meat probes at once additional meat probes with Y-cable can be purchased separately Review: Wow, really great! - Today is my first use. The installation instructions are lacking so you have to look at a youtube video or two, but it's not very complicated. I've had NO connection issues, and as a 20 year tech guy, I am amazed at how good the app is. Simple and intuitive. For the last 3 hours, it held my 225 degree temperature within a degree. When I opened the top of my egg so I could wrap the ribs in foil, as expected the Egg ramped up in temp from the extra air, and now it's been slowly decreasing. But from 225 the highest it hit was 240 and now it's almost back. As you probably know, there is no way to "cool" the egg, you just wait it out until it settles back in. When you take a break for the "texas crutch" there is no choice but to allow an influx of air. Otherwise, it is BEYOND my expectation since it's held within one degree all day so far. One note, is that you have to bring the Egg up close to temperature before you turn it over to the Genius. Because as good as the genius is, it doesn't know when you are starting up the coals, or just maintaining them. My target was 225 so when my dome thermometer hit about 175, I put on the Genius and turned it over to it and it brought it up to 225 and held constant for my first 2.5 hour stage of my rib technique. Review: Works well when it works but bad software - Can hold the temp well, even on the XL Green Egg, but it is very frustrating to use. Takes several (mostly failed) cycles to get a connection. Sometimes hangs in process and I have to restart (and reconnect multiple times) - for example sometimes when I try to change the pit temp in process it doesn't accept the change and I can't get out and have to close the app and restart. It's totally unacceptable that I can't just plug it in and have my device recognized by the app and immediately connected.

Outstanding product. It really delivers as far as keeping the temperature steady. Had some initial issues getting wi-fi to work. Called customer service and got the developer personally who walked me through set up. Highly recommend.

Absolute Game Changer..but it now you won’t regret it!
The is an absolute game changer. I have been smoking meat on my Green Egg for over a decade. Moving from a backyard hobby to catering parties. This device allows me to get my meat on the egg and keep up with it while prepping other food and running errands. I wish I had bought this years ago. I would like to see a sturdier gasket arrangement to secure the fan into the air intake on the egg. Also, an additional meat probe would be helpful to track meat temp on more than one butt or brisket at the same time.

Overrated.
Don't buy. It isn't worth the money. It doesn't hook up to your wifi. We never could get it to work.

Impossible to connect
Impossible to connect and customer service does not answer the phone or call you back. I rate this product a zero out of 10; however, I love the big green egg itself, and I am quite disappointed with this item.

These controllers work great. A real stress reliever
This thing is wonderful. Holds the temperature perfectly. I did a 20-hour brisket at 225 degrees the only reason to open the egg was to add smoke chips. Well worth the price, super simple to use with the app. I used the earlier version of the controller and loved it but this one is better! Super easy set up. very small and light but looks to be durable. I have a suggestion for BGE, have a charcoal starting mode.

This is my second cook with the egg genius and it is amazing! First cook was pork ribs at 225 and egg genius kept the pit temp right where I wanted it! Kids said they were the best ribs ever! Second cook is in process 11lb pork butt. Going to be awhile but the egg genius is keeping the pit temp right where I want it 225. Initially It took a couple of try’s to get connected to wifi but nothing unusual. Just followed the instructions. Can’t recommend it enough. Allows me to do other things rather than baby sit the cooking.

This product is pure junk !!! Yes I read the reviews, and arrogantly thought "I'm sure these people just aren't very computer smart " WRONG !!!! PARK your modem , phone and egg genius within 3 ft of each other and it might work for part of the cook , but sketchy at best . The picture posted is the pit prove after a 270 degree smoke . Can't imagine what cooking temp would've done to it ? Another 400 buck donation to the Hartland Landfill . WHAT A GREAT BIRTHDAY PRESENT !
