After creating your account and connecting your device to your 2.4 Ghz Wi-Fi network, the app provides two ways to control your sous vide cooking: Direct Control for those users that know the temperature and time values as well as a robust Cooking Guide that allows the user to select the ingredient and level of doneness to pass the temperature and time values to your device.
