Smoke IT App

[UncleTom]

I just tried it, it did not work for me. I turned Bluetooth off inside the actual app settings.

I worked with the APP support and they said I had a bad controller.... due to low connectivity.
I think they need to do a scrap and write a new software load....
I have written and compiled a lot of software for hospitals... and this app has so many bugs in it i don't think even the ORKIN MAN could get all the bugs out

Told me same thing... however I do notice the it light on my grill doesn’t flash if I turn off WiFi or Bluetooth from my understanding it stays solid of connected and flashes of not so mine should be flashing when I turn those 2 things offf.

A very poorly written and designed app.
1. Get rid of the knob to change the temp with. It barely works.
2. Temperature is different than display on my Pit Boss PB850PS2.
3. Whats up with the "Grill Calibration" that asks if you can set your grill to 225? and it does nothing when I say no? Or is confusing as to what the purpose is.
4. Poorly designed error messages. If my grill is turned off and I go into "Grill Controls" it tells me I have an error and to call support. It should say turn on you grill. Way to many calls are going to support desk because of your poor design.
Get you act together! Your giving a Great Grill Company a Bad Image!

The app uses the grill calibration question to determine if it's an older controller (with 225 as one of the presets) or a newer controller with the 10 degree increments. Since you obviously can't dial in 225 degrees on a controller with 10 degree increments, how you answer let's the app know which controller you have.

The APP works well but not perfect. I have an iPhone and the sound notification can't be changed or if it can I don't know how to do so, it makes a chime sound which if I'm sleeping or not right near my phone I can't hear it wish I could set it to be a better sound or what my ringtone is. Other than that it works pretty good....my readings are always accurate on the app and led of the grill and app allows me to change the temp with no issues and yes when you first use it will ask if you can set to 225 so it knows if it's the older or newer one. If they can fix the notification sound it would be really great...I do briskets overnight so it would help when I'm sleeping or not near my phone.

Ok I just got the 1150 pro 2 and just love it! I literature states that the wifi app has a smoke mode. I have opened the smoke it app and see anything related. Got to say the app really looks BAD!

smoke mode is S on the grills display panel, 180 on the APP...if you set smoke mode on the display panel the app will read 180 its the same thing.

Yeah I thought the same thing that the smoke move was connected with the app. It seems that the smoke mode is nothing more than the adjustment of the chimney! Or at least that's the consensus. It kind of makes sense because that is what I do with my bigger smoker is control air flow.

If you cook on smoke mode which is the S on the led display of the smoker it's cooking at 180 degrees, the 180 will show on the app but you will need to adjust it manually on the smoker there is as of now no way to adjust to smoke mode using the app. I spoke to the developers last night and he's not sure why but going to look into it. I use smoke mode all the time when I do a brisket that I put on at 11pm and cool though the night so it doesn't overcook on me.

The Smoke it app doesn’t seem to be working. Can’t figure out how to use the time....I can change the set temp using the dial on the app but it won’t change the set temp on the actual smoker.

It's horrible. I've tried everything on my 1600Pro. Bluetooth, 2.4 Wifi, etc. Occasionally, it gives the info you want, but lags incredibly and is so unreliable, I can't trust it. So, I rarely bother.

I try using the app and it just says connecting to Bluetooth please wait. I go into my settings go to Bluetooth and it says I am connected. I go back to the smoke in the app and it still says connecting to Bluetooth please wait it will not turn on for me
