Users Develop Local Server Solution for June Oven After Cloud Shutdown
Two customers are working on a solution called Project July to restore functionality to the June Oven after Weber, its parent company, shut down its cloud service. The project replaces June’s cloud server with one that operates locally over Wi-Fi and brings back app control and live camera features lost in the shutdown. The development highlights user efforts to preserve paid-for functionalities of smart home devices when companies discontinue support. It also underscores concerns about reliance on third-party cloud services, which can be abruptly terminated without long-term guarantees for users. This incident adds to growing discussions around product longevity and ownership in the tech industry.
