RE: WIFI-enabled Instant Pot app
Hi Mary, You can use the built in program buttons on the pot and get notifications of what the program is doing on the phone. However, I don't know what happens with the plus and minus time buttons or the increase/decrease pressure buttons. I will have to experiment and let you all know. Using manual settings where you pick the cooking process and the time and pressure level, I am not sure what kind of announcement feedback you get back. I have forgotten to mention as well that I don't see a count-down timer on the app and just have to wait till the automated process of a program is finished. HTH,.

Re: WIFI-enabled Instant Pot app
Well OK, it wasn’t too clear to me that you could, for instance, accessibly change the time on something. That’s the big deal for me. I often make soup stock in my Insta pot. And for that, I raise the time up to the max.

It sounds though that if you hit a button on the pot, the responses would read on the phone so that's not all that bad really. I agree that for htose of us with the older model, may it work forever.

Hi Terry, So your inability to find the dashboard means you can’t control the pot from the app, right? I shouldn’t say you’re in ability, like it’s your fault or something.

If someone who has one could contact me off list, perhaps we could share information without cluttering up this list? I have some of my questions listed below. The good news is that I was able to connect the pot to our WIFI network. quite easily. This is where the questions begin. 1. The app for the Bluetooth-enabled pot has a dash board that enables the user to control the pot from the app. I do not see where to do that in this app. 2. When I open the app and jump from heading to heading on the first screen I have the following headings: Featured Recipe Categories Instant pot today Newest Recipes and Instant Pot Today. Under Featured Recipes I find Cauliflower Mac and Cheese. When I do a one-finger double tap and then flick right, I get "Star Image" 4 times, followed by "Star outline", followed by the name of the recipe's author, the recipe's difficulty, prep time, and more. But where is the recipe? 3. When I go to Categories, and one-finger double tap on a given category, I get inconsistent results. « Double tapping the Desserts button sometimes produces a list of recipes. If I have been in the app too long and pressing too many buttons, double tapping the Desserts button produces no result at all -- I remain in the Categories list. Closing and reopening the app solves that problem. But this is not true of all of the Categories buttons; on some of them, such as Meat, Poultry, and Pastas, double tapping the button produces no result at all. Thanks for your help.

FW: WIFI-Enabled Instant Pot App
-Original Message- From: Terrie Terlau Sent: Tuesday, January 01, 2019 8:30 AM To: 'viphone@googlegroups.com' Subject: RE: WIFI-Enabled Instant Pot App Hi Les, Here is the WIFI Instant Pot button layout. I am attaching an Excel file with the same info except that it is in rows and columns corresponding to the rows and columns of buttons on the pot. This is for the newe WIFI model, not the old blue tooth or other models. There are 3 rows of 2 buttons and then three rows of 4 buttons on the pot. starting rows of two with the top row first. row 1 left button: soup/broth right button rice row 2 left button meat/stew right button multigrain rrow 3 left button bean/chili right button poridge Row 4 left button cake second button pressure level and wifi on/off. hold for 3 seconds to turn wifi on or off,. third button keep warm right button steam Row 5 left button slow cook second button decrease time third button increase time right button yogurt Row Six left saute second button delay start third button cancel right button pressure cook I am including other notes I took on the Quick Start materials that came with the pot: For pressure cooking, add at least 1.5 cups of liquid unless otherwise specified in the recipe. Liquids include: water; broth or stock; fruit or vegetable juice; beer or wine with low alcohol content; water-based cooking sauces. Do not fill inner pot higher than PC Max, 2/3 line. for foods that expand such as rice or beans, go to the 1/2 line. Liquids must be water based. Be cautious when cooking with more than 1/4 cup oil, oil-based sauces, condensed cream-based soups, and thick sauces. Add suitable liquid to thin out sauces. Avoid recipes that call for more than 1/4 cup oil. Before pressurizing, make sure vint is sealed, turned towards the back. Pressurizing: until pot pressurizes and vowelve pops up, lid is removable. Once pressurized, lid locks till depressurized. to depressurize, can let it cool and depressurize naturally, vowelve goes down when depressurized, or can turn handle on vint. NR versus QR: normal release versus quick release: Normal release, let cool naturally and vowelve goes down when pressure is released. Quick release use the handle to unseal the vent. HTH.

Re: WIFI-Enabled Instant Pot App
I don' tthink the recipe part has ever been accessible. My understanding is that you could use the buttons from the phone with a little study. I don't htink they flick well from what I've heard. But I would never expect th eprogramming to work based on previous experience. You really don't need that though. I have found it frustrating that people haven't been able to reliably describe what does and does not work with this. I have the older model and don't need the new one, but eventually I'm sure we all will need it.

RE: WIFI-Enabled Instant Pot App
Has the developer broken the app recently? After reading messages on the list in November, the app seemed to work--aside from difficulty with initial setup. I bought one. It's sitting in its box in my garage; I was awaiting assistance to set up the WiFi. Now, I will return it if the app isn't accessible. I will appreciate any feedback. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Richard Turner Sent: Monday, December 31, 2018 11:06 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: WIFI-Enabled Instant Pot App >From everything I've read, there is no real work around until the App >developer fixes the accessibility issues.

WIFI-Enabled Instant Pot App
I received one for Christmas and have a lot of questions about the app. If anyone who has one and has figured the app out, even a little bit, could contact me off list, we can share information without cluttering the list. The good news is I was able to connect the pot to our WIFI network very easily; the problems are in pulling up recipes.Here are some of my questions. 1. The app for the Bluetooth enabled pot has a Dashboard that can be used to configure the pot from the app. How does one control this pot from the app? 2. I see the buttons for categories of recipes but get inconsistent results when I do a One-finger double tap. On some, such as Meats and Poultry, nothing happens; I remain in the same screen I was in before double tapping. With Desserts, I get a list of desserts, at least sometimes. If I have been in the app for a while, tapping and backing out of screens, I have to close and reopen the app to get the buttons to work. 3. Finally, I am having trouble finding an entire recipe. I find screens with what are called “main ingredients” but cannot always find the complete list of ingredients or the instructions. What am I doing wrong?
