CyberGrills — Smart Grill Mobile App

App Cyber Grills

2022UI / UX

A mobile app for controlling a smart grill — grill controls, cooking presets, recipes, and real-time temperature monitoring in one guided cooking experience.

Overview

CyberGrills is a mobile app for controlling a smart grill and connected accessories. It brings together grill controls, cooking presets, recipes, and real-time temperature monitoring into a simple, guided cooking experience.

The goal was to create a guided cooking experience that simplifies grilling, reduces manual configuration, and helps users cook with confidence from setup to serving.

The Challenge

Many grill controllers prioritize device controls over the cooking experience. The challenge was to design an experience that combines:

  • Grill controls
  • Live temperature monitoring
  • Cooking presets
  • Recipes
  • Guided cooking flows

The interface needed to support both experienced grill users who prefer manual control and beginners who rely on step-by-step guidance.

Design Goals

  • Simplify grill setup before cooking.
  • Reduce cognitive load during cooking.
  • Guide users through the entire cooking process.
  • Make automatic cooking modes easy to understand.
  • Create a scalable interface for multiple connected devices.

Key Features

  • Bluetooth device pairing
  • Connected grill dashboard
  • Real-time chamber and food temperature monitoring
  • Guided cooking presets
  • Manual cooking mode
  • Recipe-based cooking
  • Flip reminders
  • Cooking progress
  • Smart notifications

Outcome

The final experience helps users focus on cooking instead of managing grill settings, while keeping advanced controls available when needed.
