So a couple of months ago, I gave up on the app for the Masterbuilt 560. No matter what I did, I could never get a wifi connection for the grill, even using 4 different Android devices. I tried a friend's iPhone that connected immediately, so I know it wasn't the controller. So I went the Fireboard route. It worked/works perfectly, with tighter control of the grill than the Masterbuilt controller. So when I got a new 1050 grill, I switched over the Fireboard to the 1050.
I bought an abs printed faceplate that adapts the Fireboard to the hole left by the Masterbuilt controller. The only problem was standing on my head trying to connect the temp probes. I fabricated a jack panel several days ago, and got everything mounted today. I made 4" connectors from the Fireboard to the panel with plugs for the probes.
The probes showed a negligible difference in sensitivity after making the connections. Now I have a far better controller for my Masterbuilt with 5 extra probes and easier access for plugging them in
