What makes our wireless setup different? Is it reliable?Updated 8 months ago

The most common complaints we’ve seen about competing wireless thermometers are signal reception problems and initial setup problems.

It’s super-aggravating to disconnect in the middle of a cook. Tie that to creating an account or configuring a WiFi set-up and suddenly you’re dealing with sign-ins and passwords and electronic handshakes every time you lose signal.

No thanks. 

We’re not immune to signal loss or disconnects (we are still bound by physics, after all), but we’ve done everything possible to minimize the annoyance it can cause.

First, we’re transmitting at a much higher power because we use the latest Bluetooth 5 chip for our radio. We also optimized the antenna design on both the Predictive Thermometer and Display to get the best performance for the minimum power—our design is very close to the theoretical limit of efficiency. 

Most importantly, our software is designed to work around interrupted signals and occasional disconnects. When the signal is lost, your Combustion Display (or app) automatically catches up on all the data as soon as it’s back in range. So momentary signal loss is frankly not a problem.
