WiFi Sauna Heaters

Yes. We find that the UKU WiFi control system is the definitive way to heat your sauna either on-site or via your phone. By adjusting settings through the HUUM app, we enable users to enjoy a safe and smart sauna session with real-time temperature feedback.

To connect the system, you must access the UKU control panel settings menu by holding the main button for 10 seconds. We suggest navigating to the Wi-Fi settings, selecting SSID, and then picking the correct 2.4 GHz network from the menu to establish the link.

We believe the added value lies in the lifestyle flexibility it provides. Whether you are returning from skiing or landing after a stressful flight, having a hot sauna waiting for you is a premium treat that significantly enhances the usability of your investment.

Yes. We offer the full Harvia ecosystem, which includes Xenio digital and WiFi-enabled control units, as well as remote panels designed specifically for the W-series heaters.

Yes. The Xenio CX170 WiFi integrates full wireless functionality, enabling remote control via the MyHarvia app. We note that this allows you to monitor temperature, humidity, lighting, and ventilation from your smartphone once safety door sensors are in place.

Xenio WiFi is compatible with many Harvia electric models, including the Cilindro, Club, Virta, and KIP series. For higher outputs up to 17kW, we utilize the CX45 or CX170 power units to ensure stable performance.

We offer KIP models with built-in manual dials for simple operation, as well as units without controls that are designed to be paired with the advanced Xenio digital or WiFi panels for more precise management.

Yes. Most Virta models require an external control unit like the Xenio digital panel. These are installed outside the sauna, such as in a dressing room, and provide the infrastructure for optional Wi-Fi and timer functionality.

Yes. It works seamlessly with Harvia Xenio Wi-Fi control units and the MyHarvia app. We prioritize this model because it includes built-in safety features that prevent operation if objects are placed on the heater, making it safer for remote start.

We offer both variants. Some Cilindro models feature built-in time and temperature controls on the base, while others require a separate external digital or Wi-Fi enabled control panel for operation.

Yes. Modern WiFi-enabled heaters from HUUM, Harvia, and other top brands use proprietary apps that allow you to start the unit, set target temperatures, and monitor heat levels remotely via a cloud connection.

Most sauna controllers require a stable 2.4 GHz signal. Since saunas are often located in backyards or basements, we frequently recommend using a WiFi extender or mesh node to ensure the signal reaches the outdoor controller box.

Some high-end systems are compatible with Alexa and Google Home, allowing for voice commands like setting the temperature. However, we note that safety protocols usually still require a manual door check for North American compliance.

To meet North American UL standards, remote-start heaters must use a Door Sensor. If the door is opened while the heater is in standby, the remote start is deactivated to prevent fire hazards if someone left flammable items on the rocks.

If the connection is lost, the heater will continue its current programmed cycle until the safety timer expires, which is usually 60 minutes. You can always override the system manually at the physical wall controller.

Yes. Most smart applications include a lockout feature that prevents the heater from being activated via the app or the physical panel without a passcode, ensuring that children cannot accidentally start the unit.

It depends on the heater type. If your unit uses an external control box, we can often replace it with a WiFi-compatible version. Heaters with built-in mechanical dials generally cannot be upgraded to WiFi functionality.

No. Both the power unit and the WiFi control panel must be installed in a dry location outside the sauna. The temperature sensor is the only electronic component that goes inside the cabin.

Most major brands like Harvia and Finnleo do not charge a monthly fee for app usage. If you utilize a 4G/LTE controller for remote cabins without WiFi, there may be a small annual fee for the cellular data SIM.

In the US, UL safety standards require a sensor for any heater started remotely. If the door is opened, the system assumes safety has been compromised and disables the remote start to prevent potential fire hazards.

Standby mode is a manual safety check. You must physically set the sauna to standby at the wall panel, which confirms you have inspected the room and ensured it is clear of obstructions before using the app.

While not a standard feature, some premium controllers like the HUUM UKU include auxiliary ports that a professional can wire to shut off the heater if a smoke detector or heat-limit switch is triggered.

Most major brands currently use proprietary apps. While direct HomeKit integration is rare, we find many users successfully bridge their heaters into Apple or Google Home using third-party software like Homebridge.

Yes. High-end WiFi power units act as a central hub, allowing you to toggle internal lights, adjust dimming, and trigger ventilation fans directly from your smartphone.

Yes. Unlike older mechanical units, modern 240V WiFi power units require a four-wire connection including a neutral wire to safely power the low-voltage electronics and the WiFi radio.
