With the WiOn device hard-wired or plugged in, the process to add a WiOn device is:

Also, you need to look in your phone settings in data usage – allow permission for WiOn app to use data.

Follow the on-screen directions to add your country, zip code/area code and Wi-Fi password, your phone will then attach that WiOn device to your local network, the new device will now be listed on the main screen of the app and ready to use

If your device is flashing, that means is has not synced with a local network. You can try one of few solutions:

Delete the WiOn app and reinstall. NOTE: iPhone users must go to app store to install new app not the app that is stored on the Cloud.

Then once it is reinstalled go into your iPhone settings (not the WiOn app settings), go to Wi-Fi and see if a new network called “ECO” followed by a series of numbers appears. If it does, connect to that network and follow the onscreen instructions.

Extension Cables

The Short Extension Cable comes in a female to female configuration that is 20” long and with screw connectors. The Long Extension Cable comes in a female to male connection that is 40” long.

The short extension cables are perfect for connecting two mats at a 90 degree angle where two female ends line up against each other and need to be connected in that direction. While the longer cables can extend the distance between two mats on a line.

Sealed and waterproofed in molded virgin rubber, the watertight extension connectors ensure a safe and secure connections between all your heated mats, allowing power to flow through from one to the next.
