Looking to see if it is still around and whether they are releasing another batch of them?

I have had great luck with the tip top temp, it will hold the set point within (+/-) 6 degrees. Best $20 I have ever spent on a grill related item.
The smobot looks to work on the same principal, I imagine the price point will be well over $20.....however, I love gadgets just like the next guy. I will keep an eye on it to see how it unfolds. -
The Tip Top Temp really is a genius little, inexpensive device.
I think they'd be more popular if they charged two or three times their price cuz at just $20 I bet many folks think it is just a junky little toy.“Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.” ― Philip K. Diçk -

I still wish there was a better way of keeping it in place other than gravity!

I will add a photo of my final solution to the thread I started about the topper. -

Since not all kamados have the same diameter top vent it's not surprising that some tweaks may need to be made to suit a particular kamado. @dsleight solution seems to work well.“Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.” ― Philip K. Diçk -
Here was my attempt using a ductwork step-down piece. Turned out to be a failure and saved the TT but trashed the ductwork!

Thanks guys, and sorry for the prolonged absence.
I've been struggling to stay afloat chasing loose ends and supporting everyone who was gracious enough to play with the Beta prototypes. More to follow, but I need to check in with moderators on what the rules are on discussing this now. A hobby/fun project may be regarded differently when it shows up on kickstarter (coming in about 2 weeks, we hope).. ;-)
I'll be in touch soon!
Kind regards,
Eric

I am ready to participate and help fund kickstarter!
