Designed for competition BBQ teams, commercial smokehouses, professional chefs, and those who want to cook like them, Signals with built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth wireless technology boasts 4 channels of continuous temperature monitoring with all the powerful features and convenience you've come to expect from ThermoWorks.
Finally, a 4-channel alarm thermometer that works with your smart device AND as a stand-alone unit with physical buttons (so you don't have to soil your smartphone). Signals comes with both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth wireless technology onboard so you get a continuous signal and real-time alerts whether you're in a field or across town. Setup is quick and easy without ever needing to read the instruction manual. Signals stands apart from the competition, from its huge, backlit dashboard display and sturdy, self-standing weather-resistant case to its programmable channel names and new high temperature silicone color bands so you know at a glance which channel goes with which probe. Signals uses commercial-grade Pro-Series temperature probes exclusive to ThermoWorks to deliver better accuracy, faster response, wider temperature ranges and longer useful life. Cook more at once and worry less about the results with Signals.
Signals is designed to track temperatures over an extended period of time with moderate-heat cooking methods such as smoking, oven-roasting, deep-frying, homebrewing, and Sous Vide and to be used while grilling. Signals is not meant to be used in place of a digital instant-read thermometer, such as a Thermapen ONE or a ThermoPop, or used with broiling.
Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Wireless Technology Built In
With the flexibility of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth wireless technology built right in, you'll always stay connected to your smart device. Easy-as-pie setup unlike the other guys.
Free ThermoWorks App
Receive real-time alerts on the go with the ThermoWorks BBQ App on your phone or tablet. Customize channel names, set alarms, view and download graphs. Monitor multiple Signals or your ThermoWorks devices simultaneously using the same app.
Cloud Functions
Signals uses Wi-Fi to store your cooks in the cloud. Access your graphs, Max/Min readings, and alert history at any time in the app, or download them to your phone for archival storage. The cloud keeps a live record during your cooks allowing you to track your temperatures from any phone or tablet at the same time.
Four Channels
Accepts four probes. Comes with three Pro-Series High Temp Cooking Probes and one Pro-Series High Temp Air Probe for monitoring your pit temperature.
Pro-Series Probes
Signals works with all of our Pro-Series probes. ThermoWorks' Pro-Series Probes are the best in the business for accuracy, durability, and heat resistance. Get the confidence that comes with ThermoWorks probes and meters.
Easily Identify Each Probe
Input a different four-character name for each channel display (i.e Beef, Pork, Lamb). Plus, Signals comes with 18 High Temp Silicone Color Bands (2 ea. of 9 colors) that roll onto each end of each probe, so you can see at a glance which input matches with which probe.
Also Works as a Stand-Alone Unit
Control all functions on Signals from your phone or with the physical buttons on the device. The big, bold dashboard-like display shows the channel name identifier, current temperature, high and low alarm settings, and alarm state for each channel, plus volume level, battery state, and wireless status. Control all functions on the unit with physical buttons or from your phone.
Water Resistant
Molded-in seals for splash-proof protection rated to IP66, safe for outdoor use. NO additional waterproof bags or cases needed.
Includes Battery and Power Adapter
Rechargeable battery delivers up to 16 hours of continuous use. Includes 12V USB power adapter and cord for plug-and-play or recharging the battery.

Download Signals Operating Instructions
No, you cannot change the rechargeable battery to a standard battery. Because of the amount of power required for Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, we had to choose a non-standard battery. Signals' housing is also completely sealed to make it waterproof to IP66, so the battery compartment isn't accessible. Mobile phones, tablets, and other high-functioning electronics are built the same way.
The ThermoWorks app requires a 2.4GHz connection. We specifically designed Signals to work with a 2.4 GHz network because it has a longer range than a 5 GHz network does. Also, a 2.4 GHz frequency network is not as negatively affected by the number of walls, floors, and other objects between the router and the device as a 5 GHz network would be. This makes a 2.4 GHz network the best option whenever a device cannot be placed close to a Wi-Fi router.
We do not have a public API available for Signals at this time.
Here are the main differences between Signals and ThermaQ WiFi:- Signals uses Pro-Series® Probes with thermistor type sensors.
- ThermaQ WiFi is the most accurate and rugged BBQ thermometer available. It uses Type K thermocouple probes which are known for high accuracy and durability. Signals comes with 4 probes and ThermaQ WiFi uses 2 probes (probes sold separately).
- There are thousands of Type K probe options available for use with a ThermaQ WiFi thermometer. There are a limited number of Pro-Series probe options available to Signals users.
- Both Signals and ThermaQ WiFi feature high and low alarms and continuous Min/Max displays for each channel. Signals has four channels and ThermaQ has two channels-
Signals includes the ability to track your cook on your phone or tablet using Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connections. You can also use Signals without Bluetooth and Wi-Fi by using the hardware’s buttons and alarms. ThermaQ WiFi includes Wi-Fi technology, but doesn't include Bluetooth technology.
- Signals includes control circuitry to run Billows; ThermaQ WiFi does not.
Yes, it will. Signals and all four of its probe fit in the Large Zippered Storage case nicely.
No, there is not storage on Signals itself. Signals uses the Bluetooth phone/tablet connection as a backup for the times when the Wi-Fi connection is lost. As soon as the Wi-Fi connection is re-established, it begins using it again.
If you are at a competition and are concerned about losing data if the Wi-Fi connection is lost and Signals is not within Bluetooth of your phone or tablet, you may want to consider using a dedicated phone or tablet that you keep within Bluetooth range at all times. As long as all of the phones/tablets are logged into the ThermoWorks and connected to the Internet, you can access the data from anywhere.
(Note: The new ThermoWorks App + ThermoWorks Cloud allows you to add read-only users to you account so other team members can see what is happening with the cook using their own logins.)
You have the option of setting the interval update rate to 15, 30, or 60 seconds apart.
Signals will both alarm on the hardware and in the app on your phone or tablet. Both will continue to alarm until you shut the alarms off. The loudness of the alarms (on both the hardware and your phone or tablet) is determined by the settings you choose. The alarm on the phone will wake you up if you turn the volume up on your phone or tablet, assuming you do not have your phone set to "do not disturb."
The operating range is 32 to 122°F (0 to 50°C), meaning that is the range that the plastic body can be directly exposed to. For instance, you don't want to attach the body with its magnets to a smoker where the temperatures will go above 122°F as the high heat can melt the plastic. It can be used in atmospheric temperatures outside of that range, though. (When it is a very cold or very hot day.) You'll want to keep Signals display out of direct sunlight for long stretches, as it can damage the LCD display.
We have a similar set up here and have found that while Billows will blow, it doesn't move as much air as it should. In order to move air at full capacity, Signals must be either plugged into AC power or a portable power station with 120V AC outlets.

Accuracy and durability/build quality. The built in system my smoker came with gives nonsensical values.
Looking for the highest quality product lead me to this.
Already have the ThermoWorks billows.
