New app update, cant power on grill "safety reasons"

[peanutlasko]

When I attempt to use the Pitboss app, seems like I can no longer power the grill on anymore and get a message stating "Due to safety reasons please turn on your grill via the control board on your actual grill"

Is this a new change? Now I have to physically go outside to turn it on and warm it up.

I don’t have a app but there’s folks in here that can help you

I could never start my smoker through the app, always had to do it by the controller. Safety issue and liability issue Pit Boss doesn't want I would guess.

I agree with Mike, it's never been possible to turn on the grill from the app on either one of mine. Turning off is no problem.
