iKamand App

The iKamand II is a smart BBQ controller that gives you full control of your Kamado Joe all from your smart device. The device attaches to the bottom vent of your kamado and controls the airflow in your grill with the iKamand app. From the app, you can start, stop, monitor and change your cook with ease. Grill or smoke using your own temperature and cook time, or choose from a variety of recipes included with the app. When an iKamand recipe is chosen, the cook time and temperature is automatically loaded to cook your food perfectly. The app also features constantly updated content, such as videos, tutorials and posts that will keep your kamado grillmastery at its peak. The iKamand starts up quickly and operates quietly. The device is also designed to hold up to four (4) temperature probes and to be weather resistant. All metal components are made of stainless steel. This model fits Kamado Joe Classic grills.

Although this seems fairly awesome, the makers - Kamado Joe/Desora - have discontinued the iKamand app and the Kamado Joe users have been left with a paper weight. Thanks to some great research though it was discovered that iKamand has an API that can be called directly to control it's functions.

This project is a web app that exposes the capabilities of iKamand to heat the Kamado Joe to a predefined temperature and has 2 main functions:

Serve a single page application to control iKamand
Forward HTTP requests to iKamand (needed because of CORS restrictions)

Requirements

A server to run the app (e.g. laptop, RaspberryPi)
- NodeJS installed (version v14 or v15)
An iKamand already connected to your network
The IP of the iKamand

Deployment

To start, download this repo and run:

npm install
npm install -g pm2
pm2 start index.js --name "ikamand" -- -i <ip of your ikamand>

To stop run:

pm2 stop ikamand

To see the logs run:

pm2 logs ikamand

Usage

Access the web app on the server at http://<serverip>:3000
Click the status to turn on/off
Click the target pit temp to adjust it
Click the target food temp to adjust it
