Does anybody know of a wireless (wifi or bluetooth) oven thermometer?

I have searched and I can find many wireless thermometers with probes for internal meat temperature, etc., but that's not what I'm looking for.

I just want to know the oven temperature. A counter-top remote read-out, or a link to an iPhone or iPad would be fine.

No good?

I would like something like that as well, but it never occurred to me that a unit with any sort of transmitter would survive inside an oven.

What would any size battery experience at 350F give or take 100F for any length of time? What would happen to a lithium coin battery?

Many of the meat temp probes can also be used for measuring ambient temp as well.

Check the ones in your price range and the specs/details should let you know it they are capable of ambient.

Most of them have a stand alone display device and several will connect to iThings™.

(The Meater, was going to be my first suggestion.)

I use the "Meater".

The best. Meat temp, ambient (oven or grill) temp, and target temp of your finished product. Alerts you to flare ups and updates you as cooking progresses (app).

I have a Meater and for Christmas my son got me a Typhur. Typhur seems to be a better Meater so far.

The probe has to be physically wired, and snaked out of the oven door.

The handheld Omega product will tell you THE temperature.

The Type T thermocouple is sensitive to the typical cooking temperature range.

Why does it have to be electronic? Do you need to know precise temp? I check my ovens with the standard mechanical thermometers every couple months just to know where they are running. They are more accurate than the sensors they put in your run of the mill home appliances these days. They will get you to within five degrees or so. Put it in your pre-heated oven for five minutes and pull it out and see what ya got. Simple.

Oven Thermometer

lastman - thanks for the link. I now have one on order!

ThermoWorks is my goto for Thermometers.

They have a wireless: https://www.thermoworks.com/rfx/

However, I use this one: https://www.thermoworks.com/smoke/

I use one of the feeds to measure oven, grill and smoker temps. The connecting wires are thin enough to allow the over door to close.

This is what we use as well.

I use this one quite a bit. It works well and doesn't break the bank.

Meater is really excellent, but one end must be in the meat. It will be damaged if you try to use it without being inserted to the marking.

I've found that the oven temp portion of it is slightly affected by proximity to the meat and the pan shielding it from air circulation. Ultimately it does a good job showing oven temp after 15 minutes or so of cooking.

It can solve the question of oven temp accuracy if you use it for cooking, but not standalone.

I suspect that higher end 'net-enabled ovens can provide this (most likely on a web page), but I also expect that buying a new oven is not the solution you are looking for.

As to a temperature sensor inside an oven, You'd have to have a certain amount of electronics in the non-heated space as the oven enclosure would be an effective Faraday cage.

This might be an interesting project for a SBC-based computer, perhaps a Pi Zero W. with a Sense Hat or a Seeed Arduino-compatible unit. Finding an appropriate high-temp proof sensor and cable to go inside the oven would be the hard part, there are plenty of similar environmental monitoring projects on the Pi pages. I doubt it would be over $80.00 total. For few bucks more this same unit would support a camera so you could check your slow-roasting brisket (but probably not from inside the oven).

I also love the meater for most things as well

I use a Webber "Connect".
It has four ports and uses probes. there is a probe attachement allowing the probe to be attached to the grill grate or oven shelf.

Cost at Ace Hardware was 130.00

I use it for oven temp, smoker temp at grate level, and internal temp of meat.

The Thermoworks Smoke and Weber Connect have wired probes which I don't believe is what V-Tail is looking for.

Because I need to be able to see it on an app, on my smart devices, both phone and pad. Do you expect me to get up and go over to read that, leaving my devices on which I'm posting online at this time, I need to see a digital message informing me of the temp? no way, you guys are troglodytes.
