I haven't connected that many times yet, but I figure if the pot isn't connected, you just push that button to get it to connect again because it doesn't loose the settings.

Yes, I know where the button is, but a friend of mine says that you don't have to press it every time.

I thought when you asked alexa to set the time for 15 minutes she did it and you didn’t have to worry about that any more. 
I am still waiting for a friend to come this weekend so we can get it set up. 
Learn where the button is to start the wifi when we use the pot each time.
Just some thoughts.

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.
