NEW: ThermoWorks BlueDOT

[allsid]

ThermoWorks announced today the release of BlueDOT, combining the simplicity of DOT— a top-rated basic Cooking Alarm Thermometer—with the connectivity of Bluetooth^® giving you one simple, connected, powerful thermometer.

I understand Bill McGrath has one which he will be testing and reviewing in the near future.

Meh. Should have been WiFi dot IMO.

I agree, but if you have an old cell phone laying around, you could use an app to convert the signal to wifi:

I don't know anything about this app, but it could be helpful.

Interesting. I'm still liking my baby monitor solution for now though.

Agreed. Considering how the same antenna can do both BT and Wifi (2.4GHz)i, as well as availability of low cost BW/Wifi chips, at that price point I think it should have been Wifi instead of BT. The direct BT competition for this is the Weber iGrill Mini, at $49.

I've never used Bluetooth, but with our internet, Bluetooth is 100% more reliable, even without the Russian malware attacks.

Seems like quite a price jump from the origin DOT, but if you are using a Smoke with the gateway it can be like an extra probe when date comes up on the app.
