RE: Instant Pot Smart WiFi Pairing Guide

2018-11-30 Thread Alan Lemly
Actually, the name of the new Instant Pot cooker is the Instant Pot Smart WiFi 
6 Quart Electric Pressure Cooker if you look at it on Amazon which seems to 
clearly indicate it is a wifi as opposed to a Bluetooth model. It is still on 
sale for $90 versus its regular retail price of $149.95. You can find it at 
this link:

 

https://www.amazon.com/Instant-Pot-Smart-Electric-Pressure/dp/B0777XQ4S8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8

What's interesting is that the sale advertisement did not indicate one way or 
the other which type of networking is required, and neither is it stated on the 
box!

I guess folks could buy the wifi one and see if they can work around the

RE: Instant Pot Smart WiFi Pairing Guide

2018-11-30 Thread Cristóbal Muñoz
SO! Many! Exclamation marks!

The only one being sold is the wifi model. There is no bluetooth version 
anymore. Hasn’t been since I think early this year or last. If you bought one 
with connectivity, it’s by default the wifi version.

Where did you buy it from that it didn’t say which model it was? Outside of a 
private sale perhaps, I’m incredulous that the listing didn’t say what model 
instant pot it was anywhere. Be it ultra, wifi, mini, etc. How did you 
otherwise know you were buying the one you wanted then?

It has been made clear multiple times that there are indeed two different 
models. A bluetooth model that has since been discontinued which some of us 
have and can be accessed via a fully accessible app and this new wifi model 
which apparently has some app accessibility challenges.

I don’t know if people were giving “bad information” as much as perhaps people 
not keeping track of which one is which… I know I’ve always refered to my
