IDevices Adds Apple Watch Support for iGrill Remote Food Monitoring Thermometers

IDevices announced support for Apple Watch through its Connected app that works with the company’s iGrill and kitchen thermometers for remote food monitoring. Apple Watch users can receive an alert when food has reached optimal temperature, said iDevices. The customized version gives an overview of real-time temperatures and allows users to preset temperature notifications for particular foods, it said. A graph shows details of temperature progression through the cooking process, it said. IDevices announced in March its Icontrol One dealer platform that’s said to offer the features of a large service provider platform with a business model tailored to independent security dealers. With Icontrol One, dealers can upgrade customers from 2G to 3G with a new radio module that includes Z-Wave and 3G capabilities at a cost that’s less than a traditional stand-alone radio, said iDevices. The company is targeting Icontrol One to mass market smart home buyers. Schlage parent company Allegion bought an undisclosed equity stake (see 1502120042) in iDevices earlier this year.
