ROHDE myKiln vs Firebound

With the ROHDE myKiln app you can control your ROHDE kiln directly on your smartphone. See the live status of your firing: With your ROHDE myKiln app, you can manage one or more kilns and you can have the most important parameters of your firing kiln live on your smartphone or tablet. In addition to the status, you can also see the current segment, temperature and duration of your firing and get a graphical firing curve of your target and actual values. Manage your programmes and send them comfortably to your controller: In the ROHDE myKiln app, you can create as many programmes as you like conveniently on your smartphone, check the programme in a schematic firing curve and save as many programmes as you like in your account. Each programme can be transferred to the controller with one click and then be started at the controller. Managing your firing programmes has never been so convenient! Archive your firings and add pictures and comments to your firing curves: Each firing is automatically stored in the myKiln app and can be accompanied by pictures of your results or comments. This way you can keep track of your past firing curves. Requirements: An account is required for the ROHDE myKiln App. In addition, a controller with wifi function is required (ST 411, ST 630 and ST 632). The kiln or the controller must be within range of a WLAN and connected to the Internet. Every ROHDE kiln can be retrofitted with a suitable controller and thus benefit from the many advantages of the myKiln app.

Firebound is a working log for potters and ceramists Keep every piece, glaze test, and kiln firing in one place, from first pull off the wheel to the moment it comes out of the kiln. Track your work through every stage Log each piece as it moves from greenware to bisque to glazed to fired. Attach photos at any stage, see a piece's whole journey side by side, from raw clay to finished glaze. Test and remember your glazes Record glaze combinations with cone, clay body, and a quick rating, so you stop guessing which combo made that one gorgeous bowl six months ago. Schedule and track kiln firings Log bisque, glaze, raku, and luster firings with start and open-kiln times, cone number, and a photo of the load. Predict shrinkage before you throw Enter greenware and fired measurements to calculate your clay's real shrinkage rate, or work backward to see how big to throw a piece for a target finished size. Firebound is built for the studio, no clutter, no account required, just a clear log of what you made and how it turned out.
