I’m learning about testing and results thanks to you guys! Now I‘m hoping someone can help me with the equipment part. I’ll post pictures below. Type slow, I’m already confused. 😂
There is some sort of controller box that magically connects with the Aquapod 2.0 remote and our internet…..somehow. The remote batteries are shot. Works great, but the battery can’t hold a charge for more than 2 minutes even after an overnight. Rather than fiddle with the remote, I’d much rather use my phone vs screaming "Where’s The Remote" ?!?! I found an app called AquaConnect that I hope I can use on my iPad/phone instead.
I started the set up and I got as far as it asking me for a MAC Gateway address. I looked all over the outside controller box and couldn’t find anything labeled that. I looked on my router and put in a few of those numbers, but it tells me that isn’t correct either.
Maybe I’m looking in the wrong place? Is it even compatible?
Thanks!

Thank you!
You need the Aquaconnect box on your system to use the app…

Thank you! I don’t think I have that. This thing is on the side of it. Can I assume this is what allows the remote to work?

Thank you! I did search and read those, but was hoping I could app it instead. Now that I know about the AquaConnect and the price difference of replacing the AP 2 being small, I might just go with that Since I’m pretty sure the charging base is toast as well.
I want to search around for user experiences first though.
