Step 1: Check the Wi-Fi Signal
Use your smartphone to check the signal
strength for the desired Wi-Fi connection
at the controller location. If the strength
is poor the connection will not work. In
this case, move the controller or router to
improve the signal.
Important:
Obstructions such as interior
walls and landscaping can block
the signal.

Step 2: Installing the WAND Module
1. Remove the Wi-Fi cover from the X2
controller.
2. Insert the WAND module.
When installed, WAND disables the
controller’s dial and button functions, the
existing schedule, and settings.
Manual operation functions such as Start/
Stop Station and Test All Stations can still
be activated from the controller.
All programming is now managed via
Hydrawise cloud-based soware from a
smartphone, tablet, or desktop browser.

Step 3: Navigating WAND with X2
Locate the following:
A. Wi-FI status LED
B. Wi-Fi setup button
C. WAND serial number
The serial number is used to enable
Hydrawise management for the WAND.
You will be prompted to enter the serial
number during the online setup process
when adding the controller to your
Hydrawise account.
Leave the WAND module installed with the
dial in the RUN position during setup to
remain connected to Hydrawise soware.
If the WAND is removed, the controller
will revert to the programs and settings
congured via the dial and buttons.
To ensure the X2 controller operates with
Hydrawise, you must have the dial in
the Run position. The controller will not
operate remotely if the dial is in any other
position.
