It’s a smoker add on. I’d assume so you can adjust the temperature without actually opening it.

Why does a grill need a screen and buttons? Maybe I’m living in the stone age, but what I call grilling involves putting charcoal to a flame.

When you want to intergrate your smoker into homeassitant so you can adjust it from the office.

It’s a smoker, with a port for a temp probe in the meat.
When you smoke something for 10-12 hours it’s nice to get temp readings from wherever. It might also have automatic control for temperature management.

Why that needs to be connected to the internet is an entirely different matter though.

So you can get updates while you are at work.

That’s a pretty basic program with simple software needs.
If the programming is such shit there is a chance they need connectivity to update it or patch the code once it’s gone into production, it might be best to look into another product.
