[Small-Appliance-Cooking] wyfy instant pot

Mon Aug 19 23:01:02 UTC 2019

I wasn't able to do that from my iphone either, so was hoping that someone
who has been able to do that would write and tell us how they did it.  So
far, the only way I've actually been able to ooperate my instant pot is
through the amazon echo.

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!!
