About this app

Remote control for your Big Green Egg!
Remotely manage and monitor cooking temperatures, monitor the temperature of your food, view graphs of your cooks and receive alerts when your cook is finished or when the EGG temperature is too high or low.

The EGG Genius app works with an EGG Genius WiFi Temperature Controller to:
• Control the device through your smartphone, tablet or computer to remotely manage and monitor the internal temperature of the EGG
• Monitor the temperature of your food; view graphs of your cooks
• Receive alerts when your cook is finished or when the EGG temperature is too high or low
• Quickly reach your desired cooking temperature as the blower ramps up to fan the lighted charcoal; once the desired temp is reached, the variable speed blower automatically adjusts the blower speed to optimize the set temperature.
• Automatically lowers the pit temperature to keep your food warm when the cook is complete.
• Detects the sudden temperature drop from opening the dome and turns the fan off temporarily to avoid over-stoking the fire.
• In the case of a power outage, the unit continues running at the saved set temperature and reconnects to the WiFi network automatically when power returns.
• Use up to 3 meat probes at once – additional meat probes with Y-cable can be purchased separately.
• Powered by Flame Boss®

Ratings and reviews

Well, there's four hours of my life I will never get back. Could not get a code to enable cell alerts...that was just the beginning. Finally got connected to internet (2 hours) only to have the connection fail with no discernable way to get it back. This unit is not "plug and play", and the instructions are not easy to follow. Perhaps my expectations of plug and play were unrealistic, but I certainly did not expect to need an IT degree to make it work. STRONGLY recommend passing on this item.

Poorly designed app. Difficulty connecting locally, completely unable to connect with the network, and disconnected frequently during last few attempted uses. The temperature control is also terrible. Had to set the pit temp almost 40 degrees higher than the temperature registering on the Egg's mounted thermometer. And the meat probe registered drastically higher. The connections were checked multiple times take sure no user error. Reset 3 times without improvement in performance.

Worked last week...now I cant connect. I tried resetting the password, resetting the machine, reloading app. Using the online version.... nothing is working. Something is wrong. I've used this 10+ times without much issue with the device itself. But it's peripheral sensors are fragile. I've had to have them replaced after 4 uses. It's not very intuitive....so troubleshooting issues is tough. I just need it to work do I don't ruin my pork shoulder today!
