Re: Unable to pair instant pot wifi smart cooker
Hi, not sure if this was mentioned but the Wi-Fi is on the role of three buttons it would be the top one on the first row of three. You to hold that in 43 four seconds to hear a double beep. If you have problems on the app don’t connect I was told you can hold it in for like 10 seconds and you’ll get a long beep and that will reset the Wi-Fi so you can try to again. Good luck. I haven’t had much luck with the app after I got everything . but I haven’t had a chance to really take a good look at it. Hopefully they’ll make it more voiceover friendly. Sorry the message is a little messed up using dictation on the iPhone.

Re: Unable to pair instant pot wifi smart cooker
Well as long as the buttons are labeled I can do fine with the app. Yes I am sure it might need some work but if it's usable it's a go.

Re: Unable to pair instant pot wifi smart cooker
This is a very interesting thread. This is the second message saying there are two distinctly different control types--Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. I have mine, but have not yet opened it. Will have to be very sure which one I got before cracking the box open. If it's the older one, I think I'll be exchanging it for the newer Wi-Fi-connectable model.

Re: Unable to pair instant pot wifi smart cooker
If they did it right, they'd do it like the Amazon devices, where the device sets up an ad-hoc network, the phone finds it, logs into it, and does its thing. But with my luck, it's probably just as you say, requiring sighted assistance to set up the Wi-Fi portion on the pot.

Re: Unable to pair instant pot wifi smart cooker
There really isn't though I'm sure they think the app is accessible since all the elements are labeled. The problem is mainly with navigation. You just can't move through the options the way you should be able to while using VO. I will definitely be emailing their support address and explaining why I am returning the cooker.

Re: Unable to pair instant pot wifi smart cooker
I certainly hope you have communicated with the instant pot people and told them that you’re sending the product back and won’t be recommending it to any blind people until they get their crap together and get it fixed so it is accessible as the old app wise. There’s really no excuse for this kind of thing.

Re: Unable to pair instant pot wifi smart cooker
Hi all, So the bottomline on my adventure with the wifi instant pot is that it's going back to amazon. I did finally get it paired -- turns out I had the wrong app. The weird thing is that the wrong app was very accessible, but the right app was not so much. I want to be clear. The app is probably usable with some determination, but I just don't have that much. Not for a pot anyway. I've cooked for over three decades without an instant pot and I guess I will continue to do so. Thanks again to everyone who tried to help.

Re: Unable to pair instant pot wifi smart cooker
Hi, Thanks for all the responses. I have reached out to the instant pot support email and explained my situation. I found out from youtube about pressing the button on the pot itself, but when I do I get a message that says app with a blinking wifi indicator. However the pairing never succeeds. I am standing right in front of the pot when I do this. Anyway, I'll see what the instant pot folks say about it. Regarding the app, it does seem very accessible with the exception of the recipe area. You can access the recipes by moving your finger around the screen then double tapping the one you are interested in, but you can't flick through the list of recipes which makes navigating a bit tricky. Once in the recipe itself things work pretty well and all ingrediets and instructions are readable. I'll let everyone know how this all works out. Thanks again for the responses.

Re: Unable to pair instant pot wifi smart cooker
Contact the InstantPot company, you can do this through the Help function in the app, and ask for their help. I do not have the wifi model, but when I couldn't get the BlueToot model to pair, I asked the FaceBook Instant Pot group for help. The person who responded told me there was a small button on the front of the pot that needed to be pressed in and held for a few seconds to activate the initial connection. After I did this (I needed sighted help), the Bluetooth connection worked. Sometimes I have to attempt the whole pairingprocess more than once. With Bluetooth, it helps to be in front of the actual pot -- not pairing from another room -- and sometimes it also helps to unplug the Instant Pot and then plug it in again. Good luck, I hope you get this to work, and I'm also interested to know if the app seems to be totally accessible, as it was for the Bluetooth model.

Re: Unable to pair instant pot wifi smart cooker
So on the older model which did pair with the Bluetooth he would hold out a button on the cooker for about six seconds while impaired mode. So I’m assuming you may do the same thing with the new word cooker check the manual please you could also call the manufacturer are the instant pot maker’s and see what they say they will probably help you or go online hope that helps Sent from my iPhone > On Nov 29, 2018, at 1:11 PM, Mary Otten wrote: > > If the Wi-Fi model is like the Bluetooth model, you have to press one of the > buttons on the unit in order for it to become seen by the app. Also, there > are two apps, one of which is for the Bluetooth only and the other for the > Wi-Fi model only.

Re: Unable to pair instant pot wifi smart cooker
Also, since it's WiFi, you probably have to do something to put it on to your home network first. That part may definitely not be accessible since you'll have to enter things without any verification from the device. I wouldn't assume this is anything like the bluetooth model based on what I've heard.

Re: Unable to pair instant pot wifi smart cooker
If the Wi-Fi model is like the Bluetooth model, you have to press one of the buttons on the unit in order for it to become seen by the app. Also, there are two apps, one of which is for the Bluetooth only and the other for the Wi-Fi model only. So you want to make sure you have the correct app. I hope they have a customer service number that you can call and order to get some help to find out which button you might need to press in order to accomplish the pairing.

Unable to pair instant pot wifi smart cooker
Hi all, I received my instant pot wifi smart cooker today. I downloaded the app but no matter what I try, I am unable to pair it with my phone. I go to add a smart cooker, it says searching and after a few seconds I hear unable to find a smart cooker. Can someone please help? I'm about ready to pack it up and return it.
