Looks like a new ATL on the Inkbird WiFi 4 probe thermometer
App companion
Colored probes and magnet to slap it on your grill
Rechargable 2000mAh lithium battery (~26hrs listed use)
Monitoring ranges of 32℉~572℉ (0℃ to 300℃) (short time) and 32℉~482℉ (0℃ to 250℃) (continuous monitoring)
High and low alarms.
You're pretty safe with these probes, I can't remember exactly but i think it's 2 meters. Currently out for dinner so i can't check them atm. But definitely lengthy enough for oven use
from pictures & videos I've seen they're quite long
they also have the rounded oven probes - https://www.ebay.com/itm/324274761446
cables should be long enough, I'd say they are closer to 1.2 - 1.5m. The unit has a magnet on it too so you might not need to have it sitting on the bench depending on your setup. I paid about twice this and I'm still happy with it. this is a good unit and a great price point
Thanks all for you help :D Have purchased, now to perfect my slow roasts :D
Yup, roughly 1.5m, you'll be fine. I use mine on oven as well as smoker.
is wifi worth it over the (much cheaper) bluetooth version?
Yes. I can be at the other end of my house or at Bunnings and I can see what my temps are. Sometimes I put some meat on my pellet grill and tell the missus when to wrap etc.
These thermometers are well worth it. I'm considering buying a second.
Are these to put in the meat as it’s cooking (to check when it’s done), or for the grill temperature to replace the inbuilt thermometer? Or both? Or something else?
I think both, since you can use 4 probes at once
Both. If I'm cooking on my kettle I have one on the grate for accurate temps, and one in the meat.
Mine came with a couple of little clip things you can use to hold a probe in place to measure air temp. And one or more of the other probes go in your meat to monitor temps as it cooks.
Couple of possible gotchas - the app has always been horrible to use, notifications seem to get more unreliable with each update and as soon as you turn the unit off it wipes all your cloud-saved graph data so you can't review your cook. The unit also only uses 2.4GHz Wi-Fi which may be an issue with some Wi-Fi setups (it really didn't play well with my old auto-sensing Wi-Fi). It can be a real art to get it to connect to Wi-Fi. Plus side is being able to monitor temps while at the pub.
I bought one of these in the last sale and just got around to using it to smoke up some beef ribs yesterday on the Weber Kettle.
It's a great unit and highly recommended especially where you have a need for monitoring temps across a number of pieces of meat(perfect for low and slow cooking).
The biggest selling point to me was that it can connect in to Home Assistant to track temps and set up automations however you see fit-for example I have it announce on my google home speakers when the temps on any of my probes reaches a certain temp or time so I know to check the meat as well as monitor the cook overall- here's what my cook from yesterday looked like(9hrs long)
How can I get this working in Home Assistant?
Hooks in via WiFi to the Local Tuya integration. But of playing around with the various raw inputs convert to usable entities but feeds well and suprisingly quick refresh rate once set up.
If you have home assistant then no need to spend extra for the wifi because it will work even with the Bluetooth version provided you're running HA on device with Bluetooth.
Wifi will give more range, my server is no where near where the bbq will be
Not really, my experience shows my pi pick up the Bluetooth signal all the way to the backyard, the amount of data being transferred is minimal too, whereas for similar distance you'll struggle to get any sound out of your speaker.
Didn't realise that(and I've just added a bunch of Bluetooth proxies for other sensors around the house so would fit in great- my wifi is a bit flakey where I have my smoker positioned so Bluetooth probably has better coverage in that area).
I still feel it's worth it going for the 4T considering the price difference is only about $15, uses USB C to charge, displays all 4 probe temps at once and personally it looks better than the Bluetooth model
These are great, being able to see the temp graph to get an idea of the rate of change of the temp is super handy. No brainer at this price.
Not sure if I’m missing something but full price appears to be $100 bringing it down to $85 or $83 with the coupon…any thoughts?

they must have been jacking their prices up for the fake '20% sale' which started today.

simple to setup and pair
Anyone know how long the cables are on the probes? I want to use this when I'm slow roasting in the oven…
