The new NanoQ is the simplest yet state-of-the-art pit temperature controller. This extremely accurate device combines simplicity and ease of use. The NanoQ is the Digital replacement for our Pit Minder E-Temp control. Right out of the box, the NanoQ will control at a default setting of 225°F. To change your temperaure in 5° increments simply push the up or down arrow one time for every 5 degrees. Once you set the NanoQ to the desired temperature, use your Pit thermometer to read the temperature of your cooker. The simple sophistication and reliable design of the NanoQ makes use of the temperature indicator already built into your pit. User friendly, simple pit temperature control (one probe control) Setpoint.

Features:
• Capture Feature sets your setpoint to the desired temperature.
• Adaptive Control Algorithm learns your pit for optimal control.
• Open Lid detect reduces temperature fluctuation and overshoot.
• Real-time blower status indication 50 to 475 deg F range with +/- 5 deg F repeatability.
• Runs on 100-240VAC (for worldwide use) or 12VDC for automotive supply use.

Does it use the same probes as the Pitminder or did they convert to thermocouples over the RTDs?

I believe their previous entry level model used a thermistor (RTD is typically 3 or 4 wire when accuracy is needed). But looks like all of the new line uses thermocouples (the probe in the pic is identical to the CyberQ).
