After owning a Traeger Exec for 7 years and waiting for someone to develop a smart, connected controller for it, I've submitted an invention idea to Quirky, a New York City based invention company that takes inventors' ideas and, with the help of the Quirky community, turns the best ones into products. The Traeger Cloud Controller:
* Enables cloud connectivity via Bluetooth, Zigbee, WiFi, or an optional longer-range radio device.
* Adds multiple probes for measuring food and grate temperature.
* Enables remote monitoring, alerts, and control via a smartphone or tablet app.
* Alerts users to over/under temperature conditions, such as when the smoker runs out of fuel, that could cause the loss of expensive smoker contents if not addressed quickly.
* Intelligently detects and properly reacts to a flame-out, attempts recovery, and alerts the user and shuts down the grill if recovery is unsuccessful.
* Provides continuously variable temperature control.
* Has flashable firmware that enables future feature upgrades or bug fixes, something that requires an expensive replacement today.
* Adds programmable temperature profiles for a set-it-and-forget-it experience.
Here's where I need your help: the inventions that have the best chance of getting developed are those that get the mosts votes and comments from the Quirky community. So if you'd like to see this product developed, I'd appreciate your vote. While you're there, you can submit your own ideas. If Quirky accepts it, they bear the development costs and share the profit with you. The guy who invented the Power Pivot has made over $500K to date!
