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?
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.
