When setting up your IceCap Dual Pump Controller (ICDPC), use the included power adapter to ensure the right amount of power is going to the unit and prevent performance issues.
What you will need to get started
- ICDPC
- Your WiFi network name and password.
- Mobile device with HYDROS app installed and Bluetooth enabled
Step 1: Start the HYDROS App
- Start the HYDROS app and log in to your cloud account.
Step 2: Power up the ICDPC
- Connect the power supply to the power port on the ICDPC.
- Connect the power supply to the power
After going through a sequence of colors, the ICDPC top left LEDs should start breathing PINK. If the WaveEngine starts to breathe BLUE, then proceed to “Connecting to Your WiFi Network (Legacy) [1]” instructions.
Step 3: Connect directly to the ICDPC
- Go to the app’s Main Menu
- Tap on the “+” symbol to add a new device.
- Tap on your device.
TIP: If you do not see your device listed, tap on refresh a couple of times to refresh the list.
Step 4: Connect the ICDPC to your WiFi network
The ICDPC will scan your surrounding area and provide you with a list of available WiFi networks.
- Select the WiFi network you wish to connect to.
WARNING: The ICDPC is NOT compatible with a 5GHz WiFi. If your WiFi network is not listed, most likely, your router is broadcasting a 5GHz signal ONLY. Please get in touch with your Internet Service Provider or Router manufacturer to assist you in enabling the 2.4GHz WiFi network. - Type in your WiFi password and the name you wish to assign to your new ICDCP and tap on “Submit.”
- Wait for the ICDPC to restart and then tap on Continue.
Your ICDPC is connected to your home WiFi and your cloud account.
Appendix A: ICDPC Restarted and Breathing RED
If your controller reboots and the STATUS LED light starts breathing RED, the controller could not connect to your WiFi using the credentials you entered. It could be the result of:
- An incorrect WiFi password was entered.
TIP: The WiFi Password is case sensitive, meaning that if your WiFi Password is IcECaP, then you MUST type in IcECaP. Otherwise, it will not work. - You tried to connect the controller to a 5GHz WiFi network.
To fix the problem:
- Restart the controller by unplugging the power supply cable DIRECTLY from the controller.
- Rerun the Setup, starting with STEP 3.
Appendix B: Controller Restarted STATUS LED Breathing Yellow
Sometimes, the setup may not be completed correctly. Sometimes, the controller is successfully connected to your WiFi network, BUT it fails to register with the cloud. If this happens, do the following:
- Completely close (kill) the HYDROS app.
- Restart the controller by unplugging the power supply cable from the controller (NOT the power supply from the wall outlet) and wait for the STATUS LED light to breathe YELLOW.
- Ensure your phone is connected to your home WiFi and open the HYDROS app.
- Tap on the three horizontal bars in the upper left-hand corner to enter the main menu.
- To the right of the top icons, tap on the “Plus” symbol.
- On the “Configure HYDROS Device” page, tap on the “Refresh” button several times, and select your controller.
- Reselect your WiFi name.
- On the WiFi configurations, DO NOT fill in any of the fields. Instead, scroll down and tap on “SKIP.”
- Tap on Continue on the next page, and the controller should start registering on the cloud.
If the connection is successful, the controller will restart, and the STATUS LED light will turn to GREEN.
