Description

The RFX Gateway is the central receiver for the system. Its primary function is to receive temperature data from the RFX Meat probes via a powerful radio frequency signal and then transmit that data to your smartphone or tablet through Wi-Fi. This allows you to monitor your cook from anywhere with an internet connection, without being limited by the short range of a Bluetooth signal.

Key Features of the RFX Gateway:

• Superior Connectivity: The Gateway uses a sub-GHz radio frequency (RF) signal to communicate with the probes. This lower frequency allows the signal to “blast through” obstacles like thick oven doors, smoker walls, and even house walls, which are known to weaken higher-frequency Bluetooth signals.
• Wi-Fi Connectivity: Once the Gateway receives the data from the probe, it connects to your home’s 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network to send the information to the ThermoWorks ETI app. This enables truly remote monitoring.
• High Probe Capacity: A single RFX Gateway can connect to and monitor over 50 RFX Meat probes simultaneously, making it ideal for professional kitchens, caterers, or barbecue enthusiasts who are cooking multiple cuts of meat at once.
• Includes an Ambient Probe: The RFX Gateway comes with a separate, wired Pro-Series Air Probe. This probe plugs directly into the Gateway to accurately measure the ambient temperature inside your grill, oven, or smoker, avoiding the inaccurate readings that can occur with sensors located on the meat probe itself.
• Compatibility: The Gateway is compatible with the optional Billows BBQ control fan, allowing for automated temperature control in your smoker or grill.
• App and Cloud Integration: The free mobile app allows for real-time monitoring, setting high/low alarms, and viewing live temperature graphs. You can also create a free cloud account to access your cooking data from any browser.
