Auber Instruments
WIFI BBQ Temp Control Kit
Best precise temperature control for serious barbecue enthusiasts.
This is the 2nd generation WIFI BBQ temperature controller kit from Auber Instruments, released in November 2020. It features a new Wi-Fi module for push notifications and OTA updates, and supports three temperature probes (one pit, two food) for enhanced monitoring. The controller uses well-tuned PID algorithms for precise pit temperature control and offers flexibility with 6 cooking profiles and 6 steps each. It includes a 6.5 CFM blower and is compatible with Weber Smokey Mountain smokers.

What customers say
Customers consistently praise this kit for its exceptional reliability in maintaining precise temperatures, transforming long barbecue sessions into effortless experiences. The integrated WiFi connectivity is a significant advantage, allowing users to monitor cooks remotely with ease and confidence. While initial setup might require some attention, the consistent performance and robust construction are frequently highlighted as key benefits. This product is seen as a valuable investment for achieving perfectly cooked results every time, greatly enhancing the overall barbecue process.
Know before you buy
While the kit is optimized for the Weber Smokey Mountain, it can be used with other charcoal smokers provided you have the correct adapter or can securely mount the 6.5 CFM blower to your specific intake vent.
The controller monitors for a sudden, sharp drop in pit temperature that typically occurs when the lid is opened. It automatically pauses the blower to prevent the fan from over-stoking the fire while the lid is off, then resumes normal PID control once the temperature stabilizes.
The Wi-Fi is primarily used for remote monitoring and receiving push notifications via the app. The controller itself operates independently using its internal PID algorithms, so your cook will continue to run accurately even if the internet connection drops.
The three-probe configuration allows you to monitor one pit temperature and two separate food items simultaneously. This is particularly useful for tracking different cuts of meat or ensuring even cooking across multiple racks.
Yes, the controller supports up to 6 cooking profiles with 6 steps each. This allows you to program specific temperature changes over time, which is ideal for recipes that require varying heat levels throughout the smoking process.
The controller supports over-the-air (OTA) updates via its Wi-Fi connection. When a new firmware version is released, you can update the device directly through the smartphone app without needing to connect it to a computer.
