App Set Up
Instructions



Here you’ll fine instructions on how to setup the app on your smartphone, automate your system, and notes about scheduling.

To get started you will need:
  • 2.4 GHz wifi network,
  • an Apple or Android phone,
  • and your ice bath in range of the wifi.
 
 
⚠️
WARNING
If you aren’t interested in using the app to control your ice bath, to turn it on and off daily for you, then you need to leave it running 24-7 otherwise the water will foul.


Tuya Smart App
Convenience & Control


The app is useful because it automates running your ice bath daily but not all day. You’re downloading it so you can setup the scheduling feature and to turn it off or on at your convenience if you’re away for any reason.
 
With a little trial and error you can gauge how long it takes to cool to your desired temperature and how fast it warms throughout the day thereafter determining what temperature it will be later if you want to submerge again.
 
Sample Schedule
Let’s go through an example so you have an idea of how you might schedule your ice bath;
 
💡
PRO TIP
It’s more efficient to cool your water while you sleep, as evening temperatures are generally cooler overnight.
 
Sample Schedule
1x morning ice bath routine at 43ºF/6ºC

  • Chiller ON: 2am-8am
  • Ice Bath Window: 7am-8am
  • Chiller otherwise OFF all day
* Setup multiple schedules to keep the temperature low to submerge multiple times per day.
 
👉
YOU SHOULD KNOW
When not in operation, you can expect the water temperature to rise by ~2ºF/1ºC per hour.
 
A little trial and error will help you figure out how to get the temperature exactly where you want it when you want to submerge. Let it run for 6-8 hours each day to start and slowly reduce the time until it doesn’t reach the desired temp at the time you want.

Hit save to return to the main screen and create a second Schedule to turn the ice bath off.
 
Setting and OFF Schedule
This is what a scheduled action for turning the ice bath off everyday at 8am looks like.
And this is what the main schedule screen should look like after completing an on / off loop.
Notifications and the Note label are important because your phone will push a notification to you each time it activates a schedule.
It will indicate the action was executed successfully or that there was a problem. If there was a problem due to wifi network instability for example you can simply open the app and turn the machine off or on directly.
