- App Permissions: Make sure the ChefsTemp app has all required permissions—especially location access—enabled on your device. For iOS, please enable “Allow connecting to your nearby devices” in your settings.
- Bluetooth and Wi-Fi Settings: Turn on Bluetooth on your device and ensure the connected Wi-Fi on your phone is on a 2.4GHz network. If your router is an automatic dual-band (or only has the 5GHz Wi‑Fi), simply separate the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands (or create a guest 2.4GHz Wi‑Fi network) in the router app.
- Password and SSID: Use the orange magnifying glass to auto-detect the SSID, and double-check that the Wi-Fi password is entered correctly, as spell-check may alter it.
- Router Settings: Disable fast roaming (e.g., 802.11r) on your router, as it may prevent the thermometer from connecting.
- Reconnection: After making sure the above settings are correct, delete all your current connections on the app, exit and reopen the app, shut off the Base to restart it, and connect the thermometer from the beginning.
- Use the original charger to power the fan.

Please confirm that the firmware of your S1 and Breezo Fan has been upgraded to the latest version. Ensure that the app is also the latest version. After completing the firmware update, it is recommended to delete all devices and reconnect to check for any issues. How to Update Firmware on ProTemp S1 & Breezo Fan | Step-by-Step Guide
❤️For best results, we recommend keeping the top vent nearly closed and allowing the Breezo fan to add the necessary air to maintain your desired temperature. Opening the top vent too much can lead to overshooting your target temperature, especially at lower temperatures used for smoking. For higher-temperature grilling, such as searing, you may open the vent slightly more to accommodate the increased airflow needs. These settings work well across various grill sizes.
