They don’t want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don’t want well informed, well educated people capable of critical thinking. They’re not interested in that. That doesn’t help them. That's against their interests. - George Carlin

I haven't seen/heard anything from them in a long time.
Are you having any issues with yours? I can't seem to log into it to control settings while at home, but it works otherwise. Probable my issue and not theirs.XL BGE, KJ classic, Joe Jr, UDS x2 -

The Smobot has no issues. I love mine. Very reliable, and very simplistic for setup.
I particularly love the portability of the demo unit. As I understand, the production unit will not have a battery compartment, but you can buy a very cheap battery source for it, it requires very little power.
I know they had issues with the original probes, mine did as well. They sent me some replacement ones that they were told are better although they look the same. So far, so good with the new probes.
they guys that run it are super nice too. -
They've been active on Twitter.

I have a Smobot, and am a Beta Tester for the Medium Egg. It is a great item, wouldn't live without it for long cooks. Had an issue about a month ago, returned the unit and they fixed it pronto. No issues with the probes.
I heard they are getting ready for a Kickstarter also.
