The Wilo-Smart connect function in the Wilo-Assistant app for smartphones or tables (iOS and Android devices) enables the Stratos MAXO to be monitored and operated both near and far using a modern app.
The connection to a Wilo-Smart connect compatible pump (e.g. Stratos MAXO) can be established via a wireless Bluetooth connection (local remote control).
Local remote control via Bluetooth does not require any additional technical components for the connection, e.g. IR-Stick or an adapter, because of the Bluetooth LE wireless standard used. Unlike IR communication, Bluetooth wireless technology has the advantage of not requiring a direct line of sight between the pump and operating device.
Although remote control works locally via Bluetooth even without an internet connection, there are also functions in this type of use that also require an internet connection to the Wilo-Smart Cloud:
- You need to log in to MyWilo to use it. The user is identified and data is synchronised with the Cloud. This ensures that all Smart connect data is still available if the mobile device is changed.
- PDF reports are created via a Cloud service. Reports are therefore only available when the app has internet access. If a report is to be generated from a pump at a location where there is no mobile internet or WIFI, the app records all the necessary data and produces the PDF report when an internet connection becomes available again.
