Glad you were able to resolve that issue. I was the person that had the same trouble you did and that was the answer for me as well. Take caer.

Someone on another list mentioned that bluetooth may have been turned off. This appears to be what happened in my situation. I don’t know if there were different BT instant pots, because one manual I came across said to press and hold for three seconds, while another one stated press and hold for 10 seconds. In any event, pressing and holding for 10 seconds and then pairing worked. For reference and if anyone who may need it in the future, this is the manual where I found the instructions: Instant Pot Smart Bluetooth User Manual <https://manualzz.com/doc/74591845/instant-pot-smart-bluetooth-user-manual?p=14> Cristóbal From: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > On Behalf Of Mary Otten Sent: Monday, May 5, 2025 10:34 AM To: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> Subject: Re: Instant Pot bluetooth smart cooker seems to have finally given up the ghost Mine is still working, thank goodness!. I don’t know of any other app or way to use this device if you can’t have your phone except for the one you mentioned, i.e. brailing the stuff out. Whoopee! I have heard that the new ones are not very accessible even with their app. I don’t have one so I don’t know. Like you, I would use what I have and just make do. But I’ve got my fingers crossed that it just keeps working. Mary Sent from my iPhone

However, a few days ago, when I tried starting the pressure cooker, I got error message that there was no IP connected and to add an appliance etc. Odd, but whatever. I was able to pare it with my phone again and went on with my day. Yesterday, I wanted to make some oatmeal and ran into the same connect appliance problem. This time however, no matter what I tried, the IP just wouldn’t connect. I didn’t delete the app from my phone as it no longer appears in the app store. Otherwise, I would have tried that. I know there’s a new app called Instant Connect, but from the looks of it, it only seems to support their WiFi models. Does anyone know if there’s still a way to connect the bluetooth IP to either the Smart Cooker app or at this point, any other iOS app? Worst come to worst, I’ll just have to Braille out lables for the various buttons as I have no need to get another pressure cooker as this one works perfectly fine other than the BT issue and I wouldn’t be exactly enthused to buy another IP since who knows how long they’ll support any newer models going forward. I have’nt bothered reaching out to Instant Pot because all they’ll suggest is to buy one of their newer models which again, isn’t going to happen.
