Pros: Easy to install, connect and calibrate; great to have a low alarm. Cons: Calibration seems to result in alarming when bin is about 40-50% full. I expected to alarm around maybe 20%. Sensor is still worth purchasing.
I actually found a slightly used pellet sensor on FB marketplace and found it to be a great addition for wifi cooking and convenience. You must remember the unit is a proximity sensor and apparently aimed at the auger port. It's not going to map out the entire surface region of the pellet box and calculate the overall pellet quantity. Experience will guide you at interpreting your actual pellet remaining condition.
Doesn’t really work that well. My hopper will be full and it says it’s low and when it gets to 70% it says empty. I love all of the Traeger products I’ve used and I’ve used a lot of them but not a huge fan of this one.
I bought this as a gift for my son in law. He was very excited to receive it! I rated it a 5 for his enthusiasm, but I can’t speak about how well it works. We just gave it to him two days ago.
