Standard or WiFi controller
Both controllers operate the same heater. WiFi adds remote start and scheduling — useful if your schedule is unpredictable.
Both options operate the same Harvia heater with the same maximum temperature, same heat-up time, and same stone capacity. The difference is how you start and schedule the sauna.
Choose the standard control if
- You sauna at the same time most days and don't need scheduling
- You're comfortable walking out to the unit 30 minutes before your session
- You want fewer connected devices on your home network
Choose the WiFi controller if
- Your schedule is unpredictable and you want to start the heater remotely
- You want the sauna ready when you finish work, dinner, or other commitments
- You want to schedule recurring sessions
