Weber officially shut down cloud servers for June Oven units on September 22, 2026. This move permanently disables several smart capabilities for the high-end appliances, which were priced as high as $1,500.
Why it matters
The shutdown fundamentally transforms how owners interact with their devices, turning once-connected smart appliances into offline-only machines. Weber maintains that the app technology remains proprietary, as it is integrated into their broader Weber Connect product ecosystem.
Weber discontinued software updates, parts support, and all cloud-dependent features for June Ovens following the server shutdown. Owners were first notified of the upcoming changes in July 2026.
The players
Weber
A major manufacturer of grills and outdoor cooking equipment that acquired the smart-oven brand June in 2021.
June Oven
A line of high-end smart ovens featuring integrated cameras and cloud-based AI food recognition.
The details
The cloud server shutdown removes access to remote app control, live camera viewing, and AI food recognition features. While these smart capabilities are lost, the ovens continue to function for cooking via their built-in physical touchscreens. Weber has declined to open-source the application, citing the need to protect intellectual property used in their current and future product lines.
Timeline
2021: Weber acquired June.
July 2026: Owners received notification of the upcoming server shutdown.
September 22, 2026: Weber shut down the cloud servers for all June Oven units.
The Home Front
This server shutdown follows a documented industry trend where manufacturers discontinue support for cloud-reliant smart appliances. It underscores the challenges homeowners face when the longevity of an appliance is tied to proprietary server infrastructure.
If you own a June Oven, plan to rely exclusively on the physical touchscreen for all cooking operations moving forward. You should review your kitchen appliance inventory to ensure you have alternative methods for any cooking tasks previously automated by the oven's AI features.
The takeaway
Owners of connected appliances should be aware that cloud-based features may be time-limited depending on the manufacturer's product strategy. It is wise to verify whether your smart-home devices maintain core functionality if the manufacturer decides to discontinue server support.
