Ambient temperature alarm INT-14 BW

Questions & Answers
1

I recently purchased the INT-14 BW and tried using it today. Even though it registers the food and ambient temperature it seems it is ONLY possible to set an alarm for when the food is ready. It is not possible to set an ambient temperature range and have it alert you whenever the temperature in the grill is above or below this range. This pretty much makes the thermometer useless for long cooks as I have to keep staring at it the whole time. Seems very weird that inkbird have not launched the product with this feature as all it would take is tweaking the app. I have contacted INKBIRD and unless they are planning on fixing this issue very soon will be asking to return the item.

Does anybody else know any work arounds? Like adding it to IFTTT or Home assistant or anything like that?

Hello,
Sorry, INT-14-BW doesn’t have this feature :cry:.
I’ll send it to the engineers as a suggestion.

I have also purchased this device and found this basic requirement for a wireless thermometer missing, not very happy with this purchase

Very disappointed in the lack of this very basic function. Also surprising that it was not mentioned in any of the reviews of the product as it is such a major drawback. Have asked inkbird to return the products and am hoping they will be cooperative.

Unfortunately Inkbird has not accepted a return of the products as its been a little over 30 days since purchase, even though this was the first time they were used.

It is very strange that a huge flaw like this has not been mentioned in the product reviews as this makes it pretty useless for barbecuing. And considering the premium price tag of the INT 14-BW I was definitely expecting it to have basic functions like this.

For anyone on the lookout for a wireless bbq thermometer I would avoid inkbird and look at other brands.

I agree. It really needs this feature. My other probes have it. Must be able to set high and low.

Some other things I’d hope it has at this price range:

  • Needs to be able to predict cooking time remaining - e.g. I have it set to 50c, it should be able to estimate how long it will take to cook
  • The iPad app cannot work in landscape mode… why do apps do this I cannot fathom, just get it done.

In the days of AI and intelligent this and that, your app looks black and white. Probes seem great, software needs a bit of work.

Ambient temperature alarms is the bare minimum at this price range but also agree that those other features also would be expected at the asking price. All this would take is a tweak in the software to provide ambient alarms in the app (even if the hardware would not be able to give an alarm). As inkbird did not accept a return I am now stuck with this very expensive and poorly functioning thermometer so would appreciate if inkbird stopped sleeping on this and sorted it out.
