Somehow they managed to make the connectivity worse. After many tries I got it to connect to mes, but the control did not respond. When pressing the light button, my iPhone flashlight came on.

The Bluetooth range didn't work for me before so I couldn't use the app. And, now that the thermometers no longer read correctly, there's not much point in using it. The app that came with an independent thermometer is what I use now and the Bluetooth range on this really cheap therm is much better than the MES.

Since the smoker now has to be set at 275℉ to get up to 225℉, there's no point in having the ability to adjust the smoker temp from an app... which would have been nice before.... but never worked anyway.
