The WAND Module allows your X2 Controller to connect to the internet via a Wi-Fi router using a direct connection method called SAP. Once connected, you can access and manage the controller with your smartphone, tablet, or computer. You can follow the in-app step instructions to connect the X2 Controller to the Hydrawise® App using the WAND device. Review the checklist below before starting the setup process.
| Check List | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| √ | Wi-Fi Signal | A medium-to-high 2.4 GHz signal strength is preferred to maintain a stable connection between the controller and the router. In some cases, a Wi-Fi extender should be installed to increase the signal. Learn More |
| √ | Serial Number | You will be prompted to enter the serial number during the online setup process when adding the controller to your Hydrawise account. This is located on the outside of the WAND device. |
| √ | App | Download the latest version of the Hydrawise App from the Apple® App Store or Google Play™ Store.

IMPORTANT: If you have previously attempted to install and connect the WAND to your Wi-Fi network, we recommend performing a factory reset. Learn More
