DADO Labs, a digital solutions innovator with the passion to further connect consumers to their 'things,' today announced that Char-Broil, LLC, the leading manufacturer of gas grills and smokers in the United States, will leverage the DADO Platform to introduce a series of smart products within its Char-Broil and SABER lines in 2015. The DADO Platform enables consumers to easily control connected appliances with a free mobile app that monitors multiple functions during the cooking process via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi.

"For more than 60 years Char-Broil has been listening to and working with our customers to create innovative products that deliver the best-available user experience," said Christine Robins, president and CEO of Char-Broil, LLC. "Today's connected consumer is looking for products and services that simplify everyday activities. With DADO's smart technology, we are making it easier for that busy consumer to customize and enjoy their outdoor cooking experiences."

The DADO Platform is a lightweight and true smart appliance solution, manufactured directly into products, connecting them to the Internet of Things.  Char-Broil and SABER products that feature the technology will be available to consumers in mid-2015.    

"At DADO our goal is to connect consumers with the Internet of Things, offering a simplified and enjoyable experience," said Tom Worley, founder and CEO of DADO Labs. "Our partnership with Char-Broil further validates the desire amongst mainstream consumer brands to improve the user experience." 

Char-Broil's Robins will present a keynote address at CES 2015 during the "Connected Consumer: Keeping it REAL" event on January 7, 2015 (at 1pm PST) at the Inspire Theater. Executives from DADO and Char-Broil will discuss the value and opportunities of consumer-centric innovation in home/cooking products.
