Just a bit of clarification. The MEATER 4 Block connects to WIFI, bluetooth (the block is the repeater) or you can use it in stand-alone mode. I can take my phone anywhere an monitor my cooks from their App. My experience with the unit is that my grills have thicker metal (Lynx Professional, RT700, Cast Iron smoker, and others) so the signal will randomly drop out for no reason especially during the rotisserie cooks when the protein rotates to the back side of the grill’s chamber. I have tested it with line of sight and no interference and it has stayed connected for over 9 hours. I have also worked with several of their technicians using different firmware loads and it is still not trustworthy. If I use the Weber Kettle, which is very thin metal, it works very well but I haven’t tested it for a prolonged cook yet. I hope their next version will have a boosted antenna signal that can work better in my scenario. YMMV.
