The Hayward Wireless Waterproof Remote communicates to the home network
router, through the 2.4 Ghz Wi-Fi.
It DOES NOT connect directly to the OmniLogic or HLWLAN.
Important: The remote MUST be connected to the same network as
the OmniLogic; including the same network name (SSID).

The HLWIRELESS communicates through the router and not directly with the

to the same network and not one with a different SSID or network name.
Once connected, tap the check mark in the

will populate with the dashboard information
seen on the MSP.

check mark and retry Config>Network. If it still
fails reset the Wireless Remote (next section).
