Weber Connect Smart Grilling Hub — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Weber Connect Smart Grilling Hub?
The Weber Connect Smart Grilling Hub is a Bluetooth/WiFi-enabled digital grilling assistant that transforms nearly any grill into a “smart” grill. It monitors ambient and food temperatures via probes, provides flip/serve notifications, cook-time countdowns, and step-by-step guidance through the Weber Connect app.
What comes in the box and what’s the specification?
• Includes: the hub, a meat probe, an ambient probe, a grate clip, and a charging cable.
• Dimensions: ~2.95″ H × 3.86″ W × 1.34″ D.
• Connectivity: WiFi + Bluetooth (supports remote monitoring).
• Probe support: up to 4 probes simultaneously.
• Power: rechargeable battery (via included cable).
• Operating limits: the device should not be placed on surfaces hotter than 150 °F (65 °C) per the manual’s “hot surface warning.”
• Compatibility: works with iOS (12.1+) and Android (7.0+) devices.
• Warranty: 2 years on components.
How do I set it up and use it?
1. Download the **Weber Connect** app, enable WiFi/Bluetooth on your phone.
2. Plug in the probes to power on the hub.
3. Pair the hub in the app; confirm pairing by pressing the hub when the lights indicate readiness.
4. Clip the ambient probe to a grate or mounting point; insert the meat probe into your food (avoiding bone contact).
5. Follow guided instructions in the app, then monitor for flip/serve alerts, doneness countdowns, and temperature graphs.
6. After cooking, remove probes to power off and preserve battery.
What are the advantages and limitations?
Advantages:
• Helps reduce guesswork by sending alerts (flip, serve, readiness) so you don’t have to constantly monitor.
• Works with virtually **any grill** — not limited to Weber models.
• Allows multiple probes (up to 4) to monitor different meats or zones simultaneously.
• Rechargeable battery avoids constant battery replacement.
Limitations / cautions:
• Should not be placed on or exposed to surfaces exceeding ~150 °F, or the internal electronics and battery may be damaged.
• The probes should never be submerged or exposed to water at their wire junctions — they are not waterproof.
• The hub’s battery charging should be done only in temperatures between 32 °F and 113 °F (0 °C to 45 °C).
• Deep or incorrect insertion of the meat probe (e.g. near bone) can give inaccurate readings.
• As with all smart grilling devices, WiFi or Bluetooth signal dropouts or app bugs may affect experience — firmware and app updates are important.
• While the hub is weather resistant, long-term exposure to rain, heat, or sun may degrade performance; storage indoors when not in use is recommended.
