1.2.43 - Active Power Management, Temp Mode Improvements
More responsive temperature control
Faster, more responsive preheating:
Up to 35% faster to reach set temperature at common cooking ranges (250–450°F), based on internal testing.
More accurate preheating at low temperatures:
Reduced overshoot during initial preheating. Internal testing shows a reduction of up to 15°F during initial preheating.
These updates make it easier to dial in exactly the level of heat you want—and trust it stays there.
For the best temperature control performance, we recommend high-quality tri‑ply stainless steel cookware, which provides the most responsive and consistent results on induction.
Introducing: Active Power Management
We’re introducing Active Power Management: a system that automatically adjusts power in real time to improve cooking outcomes and help avoid unwanted behavior like boil-overs and overheating.
At higher power levels, more energy doesn’t always lead to better results. Depending on what you’re cooking, how a pan behaves, or how many elements are being used, the cooktop may reduce power to keep things controlled and consistent.
When this occurs, you may see a dashed lightning bolt indicator on an element, along with a short message explaining why power is being adjusted. This appears only when the cooktop’s actual output differs from your requested level.
You may notice this in situations such as:
- When the cooking surface temperature approaches the element’s maximum allowable level
- When a pan has reached its effective heating limit and can’t safely absorb more power
- When total requested power exceeds the cooktop’s maximum output (15 kW)
Clearer feedback, thoughtfully introduced
We’ve begun rolling out audio alerts to provide clearer feedback during cooking, starting with key moments like errors and important system states.
Everyday usability improvements
- Longer standby time (now 10 minutes) based on customer feedback
- More consistent element behavior during edge cases
- Improved system responsiveness and reduced interruptions
Reliability & polish
This release also includes a range of behind-the-scenes improvements:
- Improved update reliability
- Enhanced safety checks and sensor validation
- General UI refinements and accumulated bug fixes

- When turning the knob, all cooking levels are now visible so it’s easier to see where to move next (for example, Low / Medium / High in Power Mode, or Melt / Brown / Sear in Temperature Mode).
- A new on-screen hint shows how to press the knob to switch between cooking modes.
- In Power Mode, cooking levels are now shown first, with Watts shown second. This layout better matches how folks typically think about cooking and makes Power and Temperature modes easier to tell apart.
- The cooking unit is now shown directly next to the set power level or temperature. This was previously at the bottom of the colored bar.
Note: You may occasionally see these cooking levels appear or shift slightly without an intentional knob turn. This is a known behavior. We’re continuing to tune knob sensitivity in upcoming releases to make the interaction feel even more precise.
More informative cooktop behavior
- Updated turn-off animation to better communicate sleep vs. power down states.
- The display now indicates when shutdown is delayed due to a hot cooking zone.
- Improved handling when cancelling shutdown while a element is cooling.
Performance and behind-the-scenes system improvements
- Smoother, more responsive UI performance.
- Improved stability when the stove connects to wifi.
- Onboarding system improvements for long-term reliability.
- Demo mode support for factory and showroom use that disables power output.
