Is there a way to control and monitor two or more Precision Cookers (BT + WiFi) from the same iPhone?  If not at present: Are there any plans to include this feature in a software update? ---

I have more than one unit and I am unable to control two at the same time via the android phone. Pretty simple programming. Maybe one day each one will have a MAC address that you can access and control separately. ---

Hi @klip, unfortunately right now there is not a way to control two devices with one phone. But fear not! It is definitely being worked on right now. The app is currently going through a lot of development, so you should be seeing some awesome changes in the near future šŸ˜ƒ ---

@HunterC Hello So whatā€™s the state on controlling to APCā€™s from the Android app? Iā€™m also thinking about buying another one but wonā€™t do so if the app canā€™t control both of them. ---

Hey @theo.baumgartner, unfortunately it is the same for the Android app currently, but I have passed on this feedback to the app development team and they are definitely planning on building into the app soon! ---

While we wait for a way to control multiple APC with one device I am taking an alternative approach. I use my iPhone to control my WIFI APC and my iPad to control my Bluetooth APC. Works for me for now. This may be an option for many people that have more than one device (or access to more than one in a household). ---

So the multiple APC control function will only be available for the Nano or will the ā€œoldā€ APC Gen1 and Gen2 have this functionality available as well? Iā€™m asking about this because Iā€™m thinking about buying another APC Blu+Wifi despite still not having the multiple APC control functionality available. ---

It looks like the Gen 1 will not support multiple APC, but Nano and Gen 2 will.
