Connecting to WiFi

Downloading the app

• The Moda Nexus is designed to work with the Smart Life app.
• Scan the code below to go to the app. Press install and follow the app’s instructions to create an account.
• NOTE – The Smart Life app is a constantly evolving third-party system. This guide was correct at the time of printing but may differ slightly from future versions.
• The app is designed to work on Android or iOS but older software versions may affect app presentation and performance.

Connecting to the app

1. Before pairing, ensure your mobile device is connected to your WiFi network. This must be a 2.4GHz network. If you have a 5.0GHz router, you will need to switch to the 2.4GHz band if this does not happen automatically.
2. Open the app and press the “+” icon in the upper right-hand corner.
3. The list of appliance types will load. Swipe down the list to find “Small Home Appliances” and select “Heater (WiFi)”.
4. You will be prompted to select your WiFi network and enter your password. This is where you can check that the band is 2.4GHz. You can follow the link in the app for advice if you need help with this.
5. Check that the heater is in pairing mode, as shown by the flashing symbol on the display. If the symbol is not flashing, hold down the key.
6. Check the frequency with which the symbol flashes and skip to step a. (if the symbol is flashing quickly) or b. (if the symbol is flashing slowly).

• The heater offers two connection modes, EZ and AP mode. This makes it easier for the heater to connect to different devices: EZ mode is faster, but may not work with all devices; AP is universal but requires some extra steps.
• When the symbol flashes fast, the heater is ready to connect on EZ mode. When the symbol flashes slowly, the heater is ready to connect on AP mode. You can change the pairing mode by holding down the key.
• a. The symbol flashes fast – twice per second. This is EZ or Smart mode. See Figure 5 below.
  • Select “Confirm the indicator is blinking”, then tap “Blink Quickly”.
  • The heater will begin connecting.
  • Figure 5: Connecting the heater to the app using EZ Mode
• The symbol flashes slowly – once per second. This means the heater is in AP mode. In this mode, your device uses a WiFi hotspot to connect. See Figure 6.
• Select “Confirm the indicator is blinking”, then tap “Blink Slowly”.
• Press “Go to Connect” to go to your WiFi settings.
• Connect to the WiFi hotspot named “Smart Life-XXXX”.

Troubleshooting

If the heater does not connect on the first attempt:

• Repeat the steps above but try the alternate pairing method. Hold down the key to switch pairing mode.
• Reset the heater by turning it off at the wall socket, waiting a few minutes, then switching it back on. Hold down the key if you need to reset or change the pairing mode.
• Ensure your router has a strong internet connection.
