Weber shuts down June Oven's app and cloud services

Weber, which acquired June Systems in January 2021 and stopped manufacturing the June Oven in 2022, has now disabled the smart oven's app and cloud connectivity.

Weber said it considered open-sourcing the technology but declined because June's IP is tied to its Weber Connect platform.
