IMPORTANT: Update your firmware before setting up your EGG Genius!
Big Green Egg's latest firmware update was released on April 2019. Here's what it corrects
- Addresses controller connectivity issues when used in areas with weak WiFi signals or slow internet connections.
- Helps users whose controller (green box with blower assembly) frequently drops its connection to Flame Boss cloud servers.
This update must be downloaded completely during one connection. If the download is interrupted, it will start from the beginning when the controller is reconnected to the server.
How to Download the Latest Firmware to Your Controller
Step 1: Open the EGG Genius App on your mobile device and make sure you are logged into your account.
Step 2: Bring your controller is as close to your WiFi router as possible (do this part indoors).
Step 3: Plug the controller into a power source and look for a slow blinking green light (called AP Mode).
DO NOT PLUG IN ANY PROBES AT THIS POINT. If you are not getting a slow blinking light please contact Flame Boss Customer Support at 1-800-978-9078.
Step 4: A solid green light on the controller display confirms the controller is connected to WiFi and a download is in process.
DO NOT TOUCH THE CONTROLLER UNTIL YOU RECEIVE A TEXT MESSAGE SAYING YOU HAVE SUCCESSFULLY UPLOADED THE FIRMWARE. (this can take up to an hour).
Once that is complete, you can attach the controller to your EGG and insert the probes.
If you still cannot update or connect your device please contact Flame Boss Customer Support at 1-800-978-9078 and they can have you up and running in a few minutes.
