Using it for the first time today. Disappointing to see that the alarm setting is useless. If you set a temp alarm for your meat, it won't go off on your iPhone unless it is unlocked. Once your phone goes to sleep you are SOL.
That won't work for me. |

I don’t think that’s true but I will check.

Let me know if you can figure it out. I've searched high and low and found others complaining about it. I tried it a couple times and the only time the temp set point alarm was ever audible was when my phone was unlocked.

Seems to be that way. If your sleeping you could unlock your phone for one cook though. Also, I can't find any other WiFi therms that can. Not really seeing a problem. I'm normally charging at night anyway.

To me it is a large problem, you set a temperature set point alarm for a reason. So it goes off and alerts you to go pull the meat or check on it. I might be prepping something else, I might be just relaxing. Either way, I'm not going to constantly stare at my phone to make it work. That defeats the purpose of technology. Poor implementation of the app in my opinion. |

I tried using the Inkbird this past weekend on a brisket cook, but found a few things lacking. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I didn't see a way to set alerts, for example, at certain temps. I also found the graph data didn't populate unless I clicked on the button that says something like "change data source" (my inkbird isn't on, so the app doesn't show it).
I did like the hardware of the unit, including the color coded probes, the seemingly watertight fittings on the probe apertures, the backlight on the large screen. The app is not good. I ended up going back to my Fireboard for the brisket cook, and was reminded of how good the Fireboard app is. Overall, if you have a Fireboard, you already have, what I believe to be, the best unit out there. I haven't tried the new Thermoworks devices (I own the Smoke and the wifi gateway, it's not good), because they're so expensive and the Fireboard works great.

I have no experience with CyberQ, but I can say the Fireboard will not disappoint you.

@Happy Hapgood - THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS REVIEW. I bought one after reading this review! I've been wanting a WI-FI thermometer probe for soooooooo long. This thing is rad! I can go to any room in the house ... OR EVEN TO THE STORE. I've always been worried my cook would go out of control and couldn't tell someone to shut down the cook if I forgot something from the store.
I'm having my first cook with it today, tri-tip. I'll post a thread with the results. THANK YOU!

I certainly see your point but look at the price differences. The Ink Bird @ $100, with code Kenink is offering for $50. How much is a Fireboard? On edit I'm seeing the cheapest Fire Board @ $189 from their website.
