I'm not sure, once I found the power button and got it on to WiFi, I stopped reading the manual.  It has functionality to work with a Bradley and control the smoke generator.  I am not sure if that is related to it or not.  One of these days I will sit down and take a read to learn more.

Any update?  I'm going to be out of town for a bit next week, and I was really hoping to get this by Father's Day.  😬

So being that you and I are in Utah, and the store says it takes 2-3 days to ship, it’s about 7 business days from ordering to receiving. That means the best case situation if you were to order tomorrow is Wednesday the 13th. He needs to have it available to order by Wednesday for you to safely get it on time. I would probably call Steve at this point instead of relying on the forum. He can give you the latest update and possibly take your order over the phone:

Good luck and you are a good person to get this for the lucky father!

I had emailed a couple days ago and Steve's reply was that they will be announced on the website and social media once available.

Does anyone know if the Wifi is capable of transmitting data online for remote reads? It would be awesome to be able to leave the network and still access the cook data. I have a "Meater" which can do this via the cloud so the newly designed PID should have the ability.

Did Steve give any indication of how soon that might be?

I got the same response as LandToSea.  He told me they had no set release date.  So, I was given no indication of even a remote time frame.

I emailed Steve also and his response on 6/4 at roughly 5pm was "We hope to have the wifi units available by the end of this week".

Given that this is a new product with all of the difficulties that entails if it were before the end of June I would be very pleased.

Waiting to order my first smoker so it is worth the wait for the new controller.

Auber web site lists the Model WSD-1500H-W which I believe is very similar or identical states the following. "Access the device remotely. It allows you to check the temperature readings, or change settings from your smart phone at anytime from anywhere (yes, anywhere!) as long as you have cellular or Wi-Fi internet access. You’ll be able to monitor the device when you are not at home, or doing grocery shopping."

So, if I understand correctly upgrading to the new PID controller will give me 3 additional features. 1) easier control of PID via the app 2) Remote capability because of the app and 3) 2 Additional meat probes.

I am assuming the meat probes can just be used to monitor and don't have to be involved in the programing? Am I right in that?

Thanks
