10. Follow the steps, and enable the app to search and connect to devices in the network; tap “OK”.
11. Go to network settings, connect to “Photon-xxxxxx”, and return to the app to verify the connection.

Troubleshooting
If you enter the wrong password, the roaster will not connect - try again.
The roaster can only be connected to a password-protected Wi-Fi. Not an open network.
The roaster cannot connect to 5Hz networks.
“ACTIVATE” button is only enabled when the bean drop handle is in an open/upward position.
If the roaster does not respond - restart (switch roaster off and on).
Corporate networks can create problems. Port 9001 and 1883 must be opened.
