I tried 3 and have used BBQ Go this last time on an iPad and locked the screen open. BT drops often but the graph never clears.. so that is the sweet spot.. The bad news is the battery drains like crazy so have to keep it plugged in. But for those of us who like the graph:
1) Use BBQ Go (I did...
@Inkbirdbbq so the issue is when the app is always showing and the BT drops.. it is all fine.. but you have to set the phone to always have it showing.. if you minimize the app and the bt drops.. it will zero the graph.. and the BT drops a lot for a few seconds.. non stop.. even sitting next to...
Well, call can do is ask.. their app is not competitive and even they recommend others.. their product is the thermometer not the app. But I will look around. All they have to do is contract someone on upworks to add that for like $200.. they would then have a competitive edge :)
that is an awesome list.. I did download a few of those and you are right exactly the same .. so there must be a common code base. I did some quick googling and all I found were some web based hacked up stuff.. ,maybe ink bird can share where they get their code from .. or they can add a...
yah same here.. great connection... except the BT just drops every few hours. I like the graphs to see what is happening over time.. and also it helps me see when it starts to trend so I can adjust the fire before it ranges too far. I wonder where they all get the same software?
I am not having range issues at all.. in fact I walked all over the yard and house trying to find the range and never could make it disconnect.. I just think the BT disconnects on it's own.. for a variety of reasons.
They should open source it then and then I could write a patch.. such an easy thing to fix and add a simple reset button to clear the store.. trivial. Inkbird?!?!?!
yes but even if it drops, which is a very normal thing with wireless and BT, the graph should not erase. Good software should be designed to handle dropped connections.. this is the way.

I am using the ink bird 4 probe, and working great until the connection drops.. even though I am like 10 ft way after a few hours it just drops..and.. not big deal but the graph then resets .. so all memory is lost.. very bad design given connections drop or probes change or even battery dies...
Not sure what is going on here.. this is the ambient temp probe.. just got this today.
but I can't scroll up, can't pinch, can't zoom, no settings.. I give up.. .. I like the thermo and the graph and alerts and the BT works great all over my house and yard.. but now showing the top graph is not...
I am designing a custom brick offset smoke and has been a while since I worked with firebrick.... ,my last experience was building a Rumford and I used some throat pieces that had a 1/2 steel angle iron threaded through it. I saw some custom builds here and some folks us a steel plate to cover...
