WiFi controller will not connect

Pre-checks (2.4 GHz network, range, password, pairing mode) plus a five-step pairing reset procedure.

Check first

  • Is your home WiFi router on a 2.4 GHz network? (Some 5 GHz-only networks won't pair.)
  • Is your router within reasonable range of the sauna location?
  • Did you correctly enter your WiFi password during pairing?
  • Is the controller in pairing mode (the indicator light should be blinking; consult the controller manual)?

Pairing reset procedure

  1. Power off the controller
  2. Wait 30 seconds
  3. Power back on
  4. The controller should re-enter pairing mode automatically
  5. Open the Harvia app and re-add the device

If pairing repeatedly fails, the issue may be with your home network. A WiFi extender or mesh router can resolve range issues. If the controller is unresponsive to pairing attempts, contact our team.
