[Small-Appliance-Cooking] wyfy instant pot

Mon Aug 19 21:33:06 UTC 2019

Please explain how you got the app working from your iPhone! I truly
want to know what I am doing wrong. I went to Instant Start in the
menu. I know that where it says "Play Now" or something like that is
what starts the program. I just can't seem to get the time to work.
For example, if I want to Pressure cook for 10 minutes, I can find the
pressure cook. But I cannot set the time from my iPhone to ten
minutes. Any and all help would be appreciated!!
