Daily use of the WiFi controller

Starting a session immediately, scheduling a session, recurring schedules, and timing tips for different conditions.

Once paired, the WiFi controller works through the Harvia app.

Starting a session immediately

  1. Open the Harvia app and select your sauna
  2. Set the target temperature
  3. Set the run time
  4. Tap "Start"
  5. The cabin begins heating. The app sends a notification when target temperature is reached.

Scheduling a session

  1. Open the Harvia app and select your sauna
  2. Tap "Schedule" or the equivalent in your app version
  3. Set the start time, target temperature, and run time
  4. Save the schedule
Recurring schedules
The app allows multiple saved schedules. Set up a recurring schedule for the times you typically use your sauna (every weeknight at 8 PM, for example).

Tips for scheduling in different conditions

  • Standard heat-up time is 30 minutes from cold start
  • In extreme cold (below -20°F / -29°C), schedule 35 to 40 minutes ahead
  • After a session that heated the cabin recently, schedule less time ahead because the cabin retains some heat
