Remote: How Communication Works
4
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
OmniLogic unit.
NOTE: IF the OmniLogic is connected to Wi-Fi, make sure the HLWIRELESS is connected
to the same network and not one with a different SSID or network name.
Once connected, tap the check mark in the
lower right.
The remote will automatically scan the
network for the OmniLogic.
IF the scan was successful the wireless remote
will populate with the dashboard information
seen on the MSP.
IF the scan fails a pop-up will appear, press the
check mark and retry Config>Network. If it still
fails reset the Wireless Remote (next section).
