Abstract:
Embodiments are directed to communicating with and controlling operation of electronically-controlled appliances. In one scenario, a computer system receives a first input from a computing system indicating that an electronically-controlled appliance is permitted to communicate with a cloud computing platform. The computer system generates a notification that is to be sent to a software application, where the software application is configured to control functions of the electronically-controlled appliance. The computer system transmits the generated notification to the software application, where the generated notification indicates that the cloud computing platform is communicably connected to the electronically-controlled appliance. The computer system then receives a second input from the software application indicating that specified functions are to be performed on the electronically-controlled appliance, and transmits instructions to the electronically-controlled appliance to perform the specified functions. These functions are then interpreted and carried out by a hardware controller on the electronically-controlled appliance.

Claim (Index 1):
A cloud computing platform for communicating with and controlling operation of a wood-pellet grill comprising a hopper having an auger and for loading combustible pellets into a combustion area of the wood-pellet grill, the cloud computing platform comprising:\n at least one processor; and at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions thereon that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the cloud computing platform to:\n receive a first indication that the wood-pellet grill is in network communication with the cloud computing platform; \n generate one or more notifications indicating that the cloud computing platform is in network communication with the cloud computing platform to a remote device; \n transmit at least one generated notification of the one or more notification to one or more software applications operated on a mobile device; \n receive a second indication from the remote device that one or more specified functions are to be performed by the wood-pellet grill; and \n transmit one or more instructions to the wood-pellet grill to perform the one or more specified functions; \n receive usage data from the wood-pellet grill, the usage data comprising at least one of digital probe information, food item temperature information, grill temperature information, cooking cycle usage information, fuel burn rate information, ambient temperature information, duration of use information, amount of power drawn from components of the wood-pellet grill, recipe usage data, alert information, ignition data, power off data, component failure data, cooking time data; and \n transmit the received usage data to one or more of a remote diagnostics system and a remote diagnostics system.
