    Results of battery life test with a 20 minute charge. I think this is probably the most important test everyone should do with their probes to determine if the probe batteries are performing as advertised. It will also give you a feel for how long your probes will last after they alert about...

    Here are the results of my 10 minute charge test with the TBIS set to 3. 1 over 50 hours, 1 is 4 hours short of 50 hours and 2 are 12+ hours short of 50 hours (same 2 that have been underperforming. Their brochure states up to 50 hours on a 10 minute charge. Technically, I guess that is true...

    Agree with wanting to do my own, I have an old weber one that allows me to start with their recommendations, and then change as needed. Taking the time to do all the settings for multiple probes for multiple pieces of meat is a pain. I like a 10 degree warning alert and then a done alert...

    The solution is definitely on the right track and I will be happy to recommend it and/or buy as a present for family and friends. With continued fixes to known/discovered issues it will work really well (assuming my upcoming distance test work as advertised). With some enhancements to their...

    What setting(s) do you have the probes set too?

    Mostly good news! I started my 3rd battery life duration test on 1.1.29-46 last night. Basically, a repeat of the 1st test with each probe set differently. I am seeing unique behaviors to each one that relate to the related setting. This is really good to see from my perspective, wished this is...

    The ThermoWorks Team I respectfully disagree related to the battery life statement you are making that it has been resolved for me. I think you missed a key detail. While they are lasting longer than the advertised battery life, they are not reporting as often as they should. Technical...

    Thermoworks Would it surprise you have been in contact with tech support since the day I opened up the box and could not set up the Gateway because of the application "Next" button placement issue. Maybe I have even spoken with you. After the above issue that you are responding to too, I...

    What are you seeing that indicates near live data with the gateway? I have yet to see anything in my tests that indicates readings that are less than 1 minute apart, other than in the first couple of minutes of a session and they are all going to the cloud. Sear mode or equivalent not...

    With the RMA - are you shipping them back and getting a refund? If not, is there an expectation that the new Gateway and/or probes will perform differently? If so why? You mentioned the cloud sight, I have been calling that the web interface, the app and the web interface are both dependent...

    My tests are still going with all on the 3 setting. 56 hours, 1 at 40%, 1 at 20% and 2 at 10%. Speculation again. They have 2 development teams. One for the application, one for the web interface. One or both are handling the database side. Suspect they are colliding with each other. Could be...

    My tests have all been just on the table. Asked them early on when they were not performing well if that was a valid test. They said yes. When I mentioned that you were seeing battery degradation, they started throwing out disclaimers - mostly related to how people may not put them all they into...

    Just a reminder, this is what what was covered up on the probe documentation that I received. Update Rate , 10 min. charge (80%) , 20 min. charge (100%) Sear Mode, 4 hrs 30 min , 5 hrs 45 min 10 sec , 5 hrs 36 min , 7 hrs 15 sec , 8 hrs , 10 hrs 30 sec , 20 hrs , 25 hrs 60 sec , 52 hrs , 65 hrs...

    Just checked my test, at 29 hours, 1 is at 80%, the other 3 are 60%. I will be lucky if completes by on Tuesday. At this rate, my poorest performing probes will make 60 hours and my best performing probes will go 70 - 80 hours, maybe more. If they got it right, I would think they woud exceed...

    The only thing I did was set the temperature interval to 3 degrees for all of them. I do that before I take any of them out of the charger. I suspect at the moment, the termperature interval has reverted back to time, they way the first ones are shown in the videos over the summer. I also am...

    I am in the middle of my second test on 1.1.29-46. First test 4 probes set to 1, 1.5, 2, and 3. Readings and changes on the app for temperature were showing up every minute for all probes, I was able to verify by looking at the history of the sessions. The only exception was the first 2 minutes...

    As I check my current test, I am looking at my phone and my laptop. Assume the phone is considered local, on the wifi, and my laptop is getting the data from the cloud. They are updating at the exact same time. I have my setting at the temperature-based interval of 3 degrees. There does not...

    With that last realization from cwood, I will be starting my tests over, all 4 thermometers set to the same temperature interval of 3 and working my way down. That should identify battery differences between the serial numbers fairly quickly.
