TAP Kiln Control Mobile

We were receiving an error message on the controller. I contacted SDS, had a response within an hour. After a couple of emails, Scott (the tech) decided to send a new circuit board—at their expense. Fed Ex delivery in 2 days; complete instructions and 20 minutes later my kiln is back in business. Can’t thank you enough! Great job SDS!!

I love the ease of use. The update has been great. I have added many unique programs. I can do it quickly.

This is really an incredible app to use with your kiln. I can monitor, start it, stop, and edit it everything from my my mobile phone. It’s worth the $5 bucks a month!!!

I’ve had my jenken kiln with a tap controller for a year now and I just ordered the TAP upgrade for my Evenheat kiln. Scott at SDS was very patient with me when I initially had problems connecting to the WiFi. We finally solved the problem and I have loved using the app. Make sure to pay for the upgrade as the best features are available then. I can start my kiln from the app, and I can also make on-the-fly changes to the program. The best part is that I can enter unlimited programs and give them names that mean something to me. I got to the point where I was so tired of reprogramming my Evenheat that when I saw there is a kit to replace my ramp master with a TAP I jumped at the chance. I’ve also seen upgrades to the app in the past year. The team is very responsive to suggestions. I highly recommend sds Industries and their products!

I initially had trouble connecting my kiln to the app, so I emailed their support team with my issue. They responded quite quickly and after running a needed software update on my kiln, everything went smoothly. 5 stars for the app and 5 stars for their support.

The App and controller is great. This company is amazing. They are so supportive and the customer service is great. Anytime i had a question or issue, they were on top of it and helped me immediately. Scott is wonderful. Worth every penny. Makes firing so much easier and now i dont have to get out of bed to check my kiln at night. I can just check out what’s going on in the app. It’s great. You wont be sorry working with this company. I love this Jen Ken Kiln with the tap controller. Both are so good and customer service couldn’t be better. Thanks for being so supportive. Wish everybody had customer service like you. Especially these days. Hugs all.

What a marvelous app. One of best things that has happened to me in fusing glass. Very responsive customer service now backed up by this perfect way to program my kiln, start the process, skip steps, monitor various steps in the process, check to see what the temps are while I lie in bed. Allows me to look at all my precious schedules without bending over to look at the controller. Flawless so far ok 8 months of use. Not a single hiccup. Simply superb. You will not be disappointed.

I love that I can start and monitor my kiln from anywhere!

Love this App, so happy the developer moved forward with a paid version. They deserve the income for creating such an amazing product. Imagine you’re in jewelry production and can remote activate, change firing patterns and monitor status of your kiln all from your smart phone! Well with TAP you can do all this and it’s super simple to use. The Alarm Features on the controller it’s self are very nice as well. My location is pretty big and sometimes I will get very busy and I will forget I’m doing castings and I will here a load Beep letting me know I’m at my next stage in the firing pattern. The APPS come a long way from original version! It’s pretty much flawless now! I will always reconvened TAP to anyone who’s a jeweler doing jewelry castings. Specially those of you/us that use castable resins that are 3D Printed ! It’s essential to have a solid firing pattern. With a good Kiln, good Air Flow and the TAP Controller you are golden !

Update: After putting the kiln on its own dedicated wifi network, it’s been working flawlessly and I can’t complain. None of the past issues have come up again and using the app is now easy and makes this whole process so much better for me. As a first time kiln owner, I have nothing to compare it too, but I feel having the wifi capability is indispensable. Waited 8 months for my pottery kiln. This app is nice, when it works. Often disconnects, says IP address on kiln is disconnected. Directions given for a restart are not clear enough. Had to figure it out on my own and even that didn’t fix the problem.
