'Yes you can use the i-Grill in the oven.
It has meat temps and things like that in the app.
I had the first generation i-Grill but found it not too helpful because I had a
pretty good way of determining doneness already.
It is a neat little gadget though.

I use my meat thermometer to check meat temperatures, not to determine when it
is time to flip the meat.
If you are cooking something like a boneless chicken breast, flip after 4 or 5
minutes.
Thicker meats take longer and thinner cuts take less time.
