[Small-Appliance-Cooking] wyfy instant pot

Mon Aug 19 23:50:35 UTC 2019

Well that is the only thing I can’t get working is the time. So I just have to use my Apple Watch or my Apple phone to keep track of the time. I really haven’t found a way to set a time when there is a recipe that you are following from there it automatically does it for you. I tried to change the time using the numbers on the phone in the app but nothing happens. They still have a lot of work to do with this app.
