Hi @hodag!

You will use the Anova Oven app to set up a staged cook after you are paired to the oven via wifi.

Click on the oven tab, and you can set each stage there. Each stage can be triggered to move automatically once a certain criteria have been set, for an example a timer or a probe target temperature.
