If at any point during configuration or when the Effegibi product is working through the app the product or app do not operate properly or completely, it is possible to carry out the RESET procedure. This will reset the wi-fi module in the Effegibi product to its original status, before configuration. Once you have done this, you will be able to reconfigure your product.

If you have a sauna, make sure it is plugged into the main and the SAUNA function is not activated, then press the COLOUR CHANGE button in quick succession and then the MOOD button. Next press the COLOUR CHANGE button and keep it pressed down until the REMOTE led flashes twice.

If you have a Hammam, make sure it is plugged into the main and the HAMMAM function is not activated, then press the MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE button in quick succession and then the MINIMUM TEMPERATURE button. Next press the "third temperature slide from the left" button and keep it pressed down until it flashes twice.

How do you configure a product during the manual connection procedure if you want to use it remotely?

If you have connected your product manually and you intend to use it remotely, you have to carry out another configuration. Open the drop-down menu in the Effegibi app and select “Configure new wi-fi connection”. The app will show you all the wi-fi connections available (the Effegibi wi-fi connection will not be visible), select the […]

If you have connected your product manually and you intend to use it remotely, you have to carry out another configuration. Open the drop-down menu in the Effegibi app and select “Configure new wi-fi connection”. The app will show you all the wi-fi connections available (the Effegibi wi-fi connection will not be visible), select the wi-fi connection in your home and insert the password, making sure you enter it correctly. Do not select any “suggestions” which your mobile phone might give, even if the actual password is one of these “suggestions”.
A message will appear on the screen “Connecting to the XXX network, please wait”. Once it has connected, the app will return to the page with all the available wi-fi connections. Just press “BACK/QUIT” until you get back to the STANDBY page. If the product’s control panel is displayed on the page and your product is shown under “Products:” in the drop-down menu, it is a good idea to check it is working properly. To test the product, just press one of the buttons on the control panel on the STANDBY page. If the Effegibi product executes the action, configuration is complete. If, for any reason, the product does not execute the action, repeat the manual configuration procedure. If the problem persists, contact customer service.

How is the sauna despatched?

After being fully tested for function and safety, each sauna is packaged in a single box holding the walls.

I have completed configuration and I can see the control panel of the Effegibi product on the STANDBY page in the app, but every time I select one of the selectable commands, a message appears saying: “Enable home automation of product” and the product never executes the command I select.

To enable the product to work using the app, first you must activate the relevant light on the control panel of the Effegibi product. If it is a sauna, make sure the SAUNA function is not activated and then keep the SAUNA key pressed down until the REMOTE led lights up. Once it has lit up, open the app and select any of the selectable commands on the STANDBY page to see if the product actually executes it. If it is a Hammam, switch the control panel on using the ON/OFF button. Once the panel is on, keep the ON/OFF button pressed down until the HOME icon comes on (a small house appears on the Hamman control panel). Once the HOME icon is on, open the app and select any of the selectable commands on the STANDBY page to see if the product actually executes it. If it does not, you need to reset and reconfigure the product; if, after reconfiguration, the app still does not work, contact customer service.

I have received my confirmation email but when I open it and click on the link, nothing happens.

Open the app and enter your credentials. If this does not work, contact customer service who will activate the account manually.

I managed to connect my device to the Effegibi wi-fi module but when I open the app, a control panel appears on the STANDBY page which does not correspond with that of my product. Furthermore there is a product in the drop-down menu under “Products” which does not correspond with the product I bought.

In this case we suggest you close the app and open it again. If the problem persists, carry out the RESET procedure on the product’s control panel (see the paragraph “RESET PROCEDURE”). Disconnect the product from the mains for a couple of seconds then reconnect it and switch on the product control panel. Now open […]

The product has been successfully connected to the wi-fi but keeps disconnecting.
• Check whether there are any firmware updates for the wi-fi router.
• Changing the wi-fi channel used by the router may improve connectivity by preventing interference. Channels 1, 6, 11 are recommended because their working frequencies do not overlap.
• Check that no other electronic devices are interfering with your wi-fi network when they are switched on (e.g. microwave ovens, cordless telephones, baby monitors).
• Move the wi-fi router closer to the product or use a range extender. If the products are at the limit of the wi-fi cover range, it may be difficult for them to reconnect.

The wi-fi signal is weak or there is no wi-fi coverage where the product is installed

When you are unable to move the wi-fi router closer to the product, you can use a range extender to improve the strength of the wi-fi signal. Ask an IT expert to recommend the most suitable product and install it.

Each model is equipped with two temperature probes.
The first, or “operating” probe shows the temperature set by the person about to use the sauna and this then switches off the heat generator when the right temperature has been reached. A second, or “safety” probe monitors the functioning of the sauna and if any problems occur, it cuts off the heat at 120° C, the maximum temperature permitted by current regulations.
All Effe saunas are built in compliance with EC safety regulations.

The connection between your router and the Effegibi product has failed. Close the app completely, check you are near the product and that the wi-fi signal from the router is strong. Connect your mobile phone to the wi-fi network at home then open the app and start the guided procedure again. When it asks you to enter the password of the wi-fi at home, make sure you enter the correct password and do not select any “suggestions” which your phone might give, even if the actual password is one of these “suggestions”.

When I am near the product, I am able to use it with the Effegibi app but I can’t remotely when I’m out of the house or generally when I’m not close to the product.

The product has not been remotely configured or configuration was not successfully completed. Carry out or repeat remote configuration (see the previous paragraph).

You must always be near the Effegibi product (no more than 5 metres away) when you are connecting. If you are sure you have purchased the Effegibi Comfort Control wi-fi module and, when you look for the wi-fi connection of this module with your device you can’t find it among the available networks, you are probably already connected to it. It is a feature of our wi-fi module that it does not show the Effegibi connection once the device is connected to it. To verify this, just open the app and check that the control panel of the Effegibi product associated with the app appears on the STANDBY page. Next open the drop-down menu and check that the name of your product appears under “Products:”. If these controls are not successful, we suggest you carry out the RESET procedure on the product’s control panel (see the paragraph “RESET PROCEDURE”). Disconnect the product from the mains for a couple of seconds then reconnect it and switch on the product control panel. You should now see the Effegibi connection but if it is not listed in the wi-fi networks detected by your device, please contact customer service.

When I select any of the selectable commands on the STANDBY page of the app, a message appears saying “Do you confirm the action?” and after I select “Yes”, the product does not execute the action.

Where does the steam generator go? What does it need?

The steam generator is fitted outside the cubicle and it needs a connection to the water supply and drains and to the electricity supply. The walls have to have a PVC sheath so that the temperature probe or interior control panel can be fitted inside the cubicle, both positioned at about 160/170cm from the floor.

A sauna encourages sweating using a bath of dry air at temperatures from 50° to 80/90° in a wooden environment inside which the humidity is very low.

A steam bath operates at much lower temperatures (40°-45°) with very high humidity inside the cubicle to encourage sweating and fluid exchange in what is essentially a bath of damp air. Users of these natural body-care systems are free to decide which of the two experiences they find the more convenient and enjoyable
