Austin, Texas – Supermechanical today announces Range Dial, its most advanced smart cooking thermometer yet. Range Dial is a highly accurate Bluetooth LE cooking thermometer for iPhone and iPad. It’s designed as a premium tool, made with thoughtful details and better materials to match fine kitchen appliances.<\/p>\n
Range Dial has two versatile ports to plug in a variety of temperature probes for every task from smoking and roasting to homebrewing and cheesemaking. It works as a thermometer for third-party homebrewing and coffee roasting apps – iBrewMaster and Roastmaster, respectively. The free Range app has convenient features like remote temperature monitoring, predicted done time, graphing and logging temperature data, and presets for cooking a variety of gourmet foods. Yet the interaction has been carefully considered to eliminate direct use of the app as much as possible, in the spirit of iOS 9 and messy hands.<\/p>\n
Features:
\n* App-free operation. We thought through the flow to eliminate interaction with a smartphone as much as possible while retaining the benefits. Turn the programmable knob to a preset, and you’ve set an alert. Then both Range Dial and your phone will beep when the temperature is hit, with cues for progress along the way. If you want a glance at more detail, you can view remote temperatures and predicted done time on your lock screen.<\/p>\n
* Remote monitoring. As long as one device is within range via Bluetooth, all your other Internet-connected devices will see the temperature as well.<\/p>\n
* Design. It’s made with machined stainless steel, silicone and laser-etched polycarbonate to fit in with your other kitchen utensils, not your gadgets.<\/p>\n
* Engineering. On the inside, it uses better electronic components and custom circuit design to get faster and more accurate readings and better Bluetooth performance.<\/p>\n
* Versatile. It has two ports for a variety of temperature probes and other forthcoming sensors, and technically minded cooks can create their own sensors and even replace the firmware.<\/p>\n
App features:
\n* Set alerts for rising, falling, or temperature ranges one-handed
\n* F and C, USDA and gourmet presets
\n* Done-time prediction
\n* Graphing with PDF and CSV data export
\n* Customize presets on dial
\n* iOS 8 or newer<\/p>\n
Hardware specifications:
\n* Reads temperatures from -40F to 450F (-40C to 230C)
\n* Accurate to 0.9F at 150F (0.5C at 65C)
\n* 2xAAA, 6 months battery life
\n* Two multipurpose sensor ports
\n* Bluetooth Low Energy (requires iPhone 4S, iPad 3, or newer)<\/p>\n
Range Dial is on Kickstarter now starting at $64, with a preorder discount of up to 38%, and will be shipping in March.. The campaign has passed its goal and ends on November 12.
