EVA experience web app – Network connection

Technical tablet requirements

The EVA Experience Controller can only be operated with a touchscreen tablet, not with a smartphone. We recommend a screen size of 9.7 inch to 11 inch for optimal functioning of the web environment.

The following tablet operating systems are generally suitable:

Android tablets with Android version 12 or higher.
Apple tablets with iOS 15.3 or higher.

Setting the PCB and WIFI

Before you want to connect to the home network or create a new network, the rotary switches must first be set correctly and the WIFI must be switched on.

1. Setting the Printed Circuit Board (PCB):
Go to the green Printed Circuit Board (EVA SP-ECA-PRO). This is located in the Motor Control Unit of the EVAstream or in a separate power supply box.

Set the Rotary switches at 000

2. Turn WIFI on for installation
On the green Printed Circuit Board, set the ENA WIFI button to ON by sliding switch 2 to the right.

The green Printed Circuit Board (EVA SP-ECA-PRO) is the master in all cases for control. The EVA LED underwater lighting and EVA Piezo can be linked to this if desired

Network connection

An internet connection is not required to operate the EVA Experience Controller with a tablet. However, the tablet must be connected to the same WiFi network as the controller. WiFi networks of 2.4 GHz are supported. There are 2 options for this:

1. New network (Access Point Mode)

Create a new WiFi network with the EVA Experience Controller, and connect the tablet to this network. This option is suitable if the home network does not provide sufficient coverage around the pool:

  • Due to the EVA Experience Controller’s own network, it is not necessary to further expand the cover age of the home network.
  • Your device is not connected to the internet.

2. Home network

Connect the tablet and the EVA Experience Controller to the home network. This option is preferred if the home network provides sufficient coverage around the pool:

  • The tablet remains connected to the home network while operating the EVA Experience Controller.
  • Switching networks on the tablet is not necessary to operate the controller.

New network (Access Point Mode)

Create a new WiFi network with the Printed Circuit Board (PCB) and connect the tablet to this network. This option is suitable if the home network does not provide sufficient coverage around the pool.

Step 1

Connect tablet to Printed Circuit Board (PCB):
Open the screen on the tablet with WiFi connections, and connect to the network.
