Ready when you are

Great cooks start with a connection.

Tap Connect above and choose your HALO grill to bring temperatures and probe readings into view.

Close other grill apps first. Your grill can connect to one app at a time.

Share a live view

Let someone else watch the cook on their own phone. This needs the small share server (included) running on any web host. Readings go to that server every 10 seconds; the viewer page is read-only.

What are you cooking?

Claude assistant (optional)

Add an Anthropic API key to let Claude plan cooks from a plain description and give advice using your live readings. The key lasts only for this page session and is sent only to Anthropic. Claude gives advice; the grill is only ever adjusted by the cook plan's fixed rules and limits.

How setting works format: not found yet

Nobody has published this grill's command format, so the first time you press Set target the page tries a few cautious command shapes, one at a time. After each one it waits a few seconds and checks whether the grill's own target reading changed. It stops at the first shape that works and remembers it, so after that, setting the temperature is instant.

Safety limits: only works while the grill is already lit (so it can never start a cold grill), only changes the target, and keeps it within 180–500°F.

Other settings

Only the target temperature has been decoded so far. Probe targets, smoke modes and shutdown will be added here once we find their bytes — change one on the grill's panel while the Raw data tab is open and send me the log.
