CHAPTER 7

Adding equipment

The setup wizard takes care of everything: it talks to the equipment, hands over your network password and registers it to your account. There are six steps and it takes just a few minutes.

7.1 Before you start

  • The equipment must be plugged in;
  • Have your Wi-Fi network name and password at hand — and confirm the network is 2.4 GHz;
  • Stay close to the equipment during the process.

7.2 The six steps

1 · Device type

Choose Controller, KH or Display.

2 · Prepare your device

Power the equipment on and wait for the ready signs: the startup beep and the blinking green LED — the blinking is what indicates it is in setup mode. If the LED does not blink, unplug it, plug it back in and wait.

3 · Connect to Aquarino

The equipment creates a temporary Wi-Fi networkAquarino for the Controller, AquarinoKH for the KH, AquarinoDisplay for the Display. The app shows the name and the Open Wi-Fi Settings button:

  1. Connect your phone to the indicated network.
  2. It has no password and no internet — when the phone warns you, choose to stay connected.
  3. Return to the app and tap I am connected.
The equipment's temporary network in the Wi-Fi settings: open, no internet — and that is by design.

4 · Network

The app lists the networks the equipment can see, from strongest to weakest. Pick yours, enter the password and tap Configure. Your network didn't show up? Refresh networks runs the scan again, and the Manual SSID option covers hidden networks.

5 · Configuring

The app sends your e-mail to the equipment — that is what links it to your account —, hands over the network and restarts it. The screen shows a 5-minute countdown and stays awake until the end; the app polls the cloud every few seconds until the equipment shows up as registered.

6 · Done

Product photo, green icon, Done. The equipment joins your list and is already responding — from home or from anywhere.
