I have been using the same IBBQ-4T for couple tears now. Last night I noticed that I lost connection to WiFi. I reset the device and upgraded the app to Pro. I was able to add the device, but, when I moved the app icon to my home screen, I lost my device and now it will not pair. Only can use fast flashing wifi icon. When I try to pair, the fast flashing wifi icon goes out after 15 seconds and it does not pair. Is there a way to factory reset this device? Any other ideas??
