Quick answer
Worth it if you want to follow a long cook from your phone and prefer a brand with its own app. The box holds two probes, one for meat and one ambient, though it takes up to four. A fair rating, not a glowing one (4.2 out of 5 from 802 reviews), and the listing gives no range, battery life or temperature range.
Weber thermometer with Bluetooth, WLAN and the Weber Connect app; it takes up to four probes and two come in the box. Good for long cooks from your phone, if the range holds up: the listing does not publish it.
The Weber Connect Smart Grilling Hub (model 3202) is a cooking thermometer with Bluetooth and WLAN, operated from the unit itself or from the Weber Connect app. The listing title says "up to 4 probes"; what is in the box, according to the seller's bullet points, is one meat probe and one ambient probe, so two. It includes one AA battery. The listing publishes no dimensions, weight, material or temperature range, and gives China as the country of origin.
What sets it apart from a plain thermometer is the app. According to the listing, it gives step-by-step instructions, lets you choose how done you want the meat and sends a push notification to your phone when it is ready, with "flip and serve" prompts. That last detail shows who it is aimed at: the traditional barbecue, with steaks and burgers. Nothing says the app caters for indirect cooking in a kamado, so the sensible way to use it is as a temperature display with alarms, not as a recipe guide.
In a kamado, the useful part is the pair of probes in the box. One goes in the meat; the ambient one, at grate height, gives you the real [ambient temperature](/glosario#ambient-temperature) of the chamber rather than the reading from the dome thermometer. On a [low-temperature smoked brisket](/recetas/brisket-ahumado-baja-temperatura) that means watching both meat and fire without lifting the lid. The unit sits outside, so kamado size (46 cm, 33 cm or 61 cm) makes no difference; what you do need to check is that the ambient probe reaches the grate, because the listing publishes neither its length nor its heat resistance. More context in our [guide to thermometers and probes](/guias/termometro-y-sonda-para-kamado).
Now the drawbacks. Bluetooth and WLAN range, battery life and temperature range are not stated. The unit sits outside the dome, so the ceramic is not in the way; what counts is the distance to the router or your phone, and the kamado is often on the terrace: test the coverage before trusting it on a long cook. Guaranteed software updates are listed as "unknown", which matters for a device that depends on an app. And the rating is fair rather than excellent: 4.2 out of 5 from 802 reviews. To reach the four probes in the title you would have to buy more, and the listing does not say which.
The catalogue has two siblings from the same brand, the [Weber iGrill 3](/accesorios/weber-igrill-3-bluetooth) and the iGrill 2, both out of stock and Bluetooth-only going by their titles. This one adds WLAN and the Weber Connect app. Among the multi-probe WiFi models in stock, the closest alternative is the Inkbird IBT-26S. Verdict: a sensible buy if you want two probes with an app, with the caveat that you check the range yourself.
A Weber thermometer with an app, sensible for watching a long cook with two probes. It is worth whatever its coverage is worth, and the listing does not say what that is.

Goes well with
NaturBraza marabu charcoal, pack of two 5 kg bags (10 kg)
A long cook with a thermometer starts with the fuel. This NaturBraza marabou charcoal comes as a pack of 2 sacks of 5 kg (10 kg). With the Hub's two probes you keep an eye on chamber and meat while it burns, with no guesses from us about how long it lasts, because we have not tested it.

Weber apple wood smoking chips 700 g
For a brisket or pulled pork, smoke is the other half of the recipe. Weber's apple wood chips come in 700 g and go onto the coals. With the Hub's ambient probe you can watch how the chamber temperature shifts when you add them, without lifting the dome.
€8
Weber 17896 – Premium Leather Gloves for Embers and Hot Grates
Placing the ambient probe on the grate or repositioning the meat probe means touching hot parts inside the kamado. These Weber leather gloves cover that moment. It is a complementary purchase: the Hub does not include them, and the listing says nothing about the heat resistance of its probes.

FAQ
How many probes does it come with, and how many does it take?
It takes up to four, according to the listing title, but the box holds two: one meat probe and one ambient probe. That is exactly what you need for a long cook in the kamado, one in the meat and one at grate height. If you want to watch two pieces at once without giving up the ambient probe, you would have to buy extra probes, and the listing does not say which are compatible. Check that before ordering.
Is it suitable for long cooks in a kamado?
On paper, yes: an ambient probe plus a meat probe, phone alerts and Bluetooth and WLAN connection. What we do not know is the range, the battery life or the temperature range, because the listing does not publish them. Nor does anything say the app has indirect-cooking guides; its "flip and serve" prompts point at the traditional barbecue. Use it as a display with alarms, and test the coverage from wherever you will be sitting before a long cook.
How does it differ from the Weber iGrill 2 and 3 in the catalogue?
The iGrill 2 and 3 titles mention Bluetooth only, and both are out of stock in our catalogue; the Connect Hub adds WLAN and uses the Weber Connect app. The Hub also takes up to four probes and ships with two. We have not tested any of the three, so we cannot say which is more accurate or more stable. In stock, the catalogue's WiFi and Bluetooth alternative is the Inkbird IBT-26S.
What rating does it have on Amazon?
4.2 out of 5 from 802 reviews, which is a fair rating and little more. A number like that cannot tell you whether the faults are concentrated in the connection, the probes or the app, and we are not going to make it up. What we do know is that it has been on Amazon.es since February 2020, that the manufacturer is Weber, and that it does not state how long software updates will continue.
