Paired base unit and receiver for long-range, wireless monitoring of thermometer temperatures

A wireless communication system for monitoring thermometer temperatures comprising:

• a transmitter device;
• and
• a receiver device,
• wherein:
• the transmitter device and the receiver device are paired to communicate only over a preassigned channel;
• the transmitter device wirelessly transmits a probe temperature signal only over the preassigned channel to the receiver device;
• and
• the transmitter device displays a temperature upon receiving the probe temperature signal over the preassigned channel.

A computer-implemented method for monitoring thermometer temperatures comprising:

• pairing a receiver device with a transmitter device, wherein pairing causes the receiver device to only receive transmissions from a preassigned channel uniquely associated with the transmitter device;
• identifying a temperature of a food item based on a probe connecting the food item to the transmitter device;
• transmitting a temperature signal that includes the temperature of the food item from the transmitter device over the preassigned channel;
• and
• based on receiving the temperature signal directly from the transmitter device on the preassigned channel, displaying the temperature of the food item on the receiver device.
