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 17):
A wood-pellet grill, comprising:\n a hopper and an auger; a combustion area, wherein the hopper and auger are configured to load combustible pellets into the combustion area; and a controller comprising:\n at least one processor \n at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions thereon that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the wood-pellet grill to:\n establish communication directly with a cloud computing platform; \n receive one or more communications from the cloud computing platform, the one or more communications comprising instructions for controlling the wood-pellet grill; \n in response to receiving the one or more communications, adjust at least one cooking characteristic of the wood-pellet grill based on the instructions of the one or more communications; \n monitor usage of the wood-pellet grill; and \n transmit usage data representative of the monitored usage to the cloud computing platform.
