When you receive an IRIS4 remote for the first time, do not change every setting immediately. A safer path is to finish Wi-Fi, cloud binding, and machine selection first, then configure target yield, auto standby, and OTA behavior. This checklist is useful for new users, delivery staff, and support calls.
1. Check Three Things After Power-On
Language
Choose the interface language during first boot so admin, OTA, and prompts are easier to follow.
Power
Use USB-C power during first setup, OTA, backflush testing, or long admin sessions to avoid power loss while saving settings.
Touch
Swipe left or right to switch pages. Tap the left or right half of the screen to adjust values. If touch feels wrong, restart before continuing.
2. Join the Device Hotspot and Save 2.4GHz Wi-Fi
- Connect your phone or computer to the hotspot shown by the remote.
- Open the local admin address shown on the device. Initial hotspot mode usually uses 192.168.4.1.
- Select a 2.4GHz home Wi-Fi network, enter the password, and save.
- Wait for the device to reboot or refresh, then check the new LAN IP on the settings page.
| Network Condition | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Router combines 2.4GHz and 5GHz | Choose the SSID that clearly marks 2.4GHz. Some combined SSIDs can slow or fail connection. |
| Phone says the hotspot has no internet | Do not switch to cellular immediately. Stay on the device hotspot or use a computer for admin access. |
| No IP after saving | Wait 30 seconds, restart the remote, then check the red IP on the settings page. |
3. Bind the La Marzocco Cloud Account
In the admin portal, save the account used by the official La Marzocco app, then wait for the machine list. A machine visible in the official app is easier for the remote to synchronize with boiler state, presets, official firmware, and backflush-related status.
4. Do Not Change Too Many Items First
For the first pass, finish only network, cloud, and machine selection. After the home page is stable, open Bluetooth scale and target-yield settings, or read the full online manual.
