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. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07JDFX67G | | Best Sellers Rank | #205,767 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ( See Top 100 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ) #427 in Grill Thermometers | | Brand Name | Big Green Egg | | Capacity | 14 ounces | | Color | Green | | Customer Reviews | 3.9 3.9 out of 5 stars (165) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00665719121028 | | Is Electric | No | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 4"L x 4"W x 4"H | | Item Weight | 1.02 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Big Green Egg | | Material | Stainless Steel, Plastic, Glass, or Ceramic | | UPC | 665719121028 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | One Year Limited Warranty | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Big Green Egg - **Color:** Green - **Item Weight:** 1.02 Pounds - **Material:** Stainless Steel, Plastic, Glass, or Ceramic - **Product Dimensions:** 4"L x 4"W x 4"H ## Images ![Big Green Egg Egg Genius WiFi Enabled Grill Temperature Controller and Meat Thermometer - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51zjTkNDSML.jpg) ![Big Green Egg Egg Genius WiFi Enabled Grill Temperature Controller and Meat Thermometer - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Xss+LoaYL.jpg) ![Big Green Egg Egg Genius WiFi Enabled Grill Temperature Controller and Meat Thermometer - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61C73hmD2+L.jpg) ![Big Green Egg Egg Genius WiFi Enabled Grill Temperature Controller and Meat Thermometer - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51YuckbT+lL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: My old genie is not compatible with 5g networks, is the newest genie compatible with 5g?** A: Yes, the Green Egg Genius is compatible with 5G.

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.
