FireBoard adds Amazon Alexa voice integration to its smart thermometer

September 08, 2016 —

KANSAS CITY, Mo., Sept. 8, 2016 /PRNewswire/ — Whirling around the kitchen, keeping track of everything cooking can be a tall order, but a new voice assisted feature available through Amazon’s Alexa platform makes cooking just a bit easier.� Now you can ask “Alexa, ask FireBoard temperature” and receive a friendly audible update on the temperature of your food, either on the barbecue or in the oven.�

The technology is made possible by pairing a Cloud Connected Smart Thermometer called the FireBoard, with a device enabled with Alexa voice recognition software.� The FireBoard is a 6 channel, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth thermometer available via Kickstarter at a discounted price of $149.

Alexa enabled devices include the Amazon Echo, Dot, Tap and the Fire TV.


According to FireBoard founder Ted Conrad, adding voice integration to the FireBoard was a natural extension of FireBoard’s existing software.� “The main goal of the FireBoard is to make it easier to monitor temperature, and by adding Alexa skills, our users can now get temperature updates hands free.” ��

FireBoard provides iOS, Android and web applications for users to check their realtime temperatures or receive alerts remotely, wherever internet is available.� The FireBoard cloud based thermometer also serves as a data logger, keeping a history of previous cooking activity.��

More information and a link to the campaign can be found at fireboard.io/kickstarter.� Additional company information including product photos are available at fireboard.io/press
