Red Sea ReefWave

Installing ReefBeat
Download ReefBeat from the app Store or Google Play as appropriate for
your SMD. (In countries without access to Google Play an APK file and
installation instructions can be downloaded from Red Sea's website.)
After installing ReefBeat, you will be guided through the set-up of your
ReefBeat user account and aquariums, and then you can start adding
your Red Sea connected devices. All of your user account details can be
edited only when your SMD is connected to the internet.
To connect the ReefWave to ReefBeat your aquarium must be set to
"Online".
Make sure that you select the correct world time zone for where your
aquarium is located. There is also a "Daylight savings Time" (DST) toggle
that needs to be manually switched at the beginning and end of DST for
your location.
If you've set up more than one aquarium, select the aquarium from the
dropdown menu at the top of the screen before proceeding.
Adding your first ReefWave to ReefBeat
Make sure that the controller is in ReefBeat mode i.e. the wave mode
indicator LED above the ReefBeat Icon is on.
Set your ReefWave to AP mode by pressing the settings button for 5
seconds (until double blink). The indicator LED should be blinking.
Tap the Add Device button (+) from the Device Manager page, select
the ReefWave 25/45 icon and follow the instructions on the app. If no
ReefWave devices are discovered, check that the ReefWave is in AP
14
mode and/or refresh the page. If you have installed multiple ReefWave
units and you have already activated the AP mode on all of them, you
will see a list of all of them. Choose any one of them as the first unit and
continue as instructed by the app.
Connecting to the Home Network
ReefBeat will now display a list of Wi-Fi networks and signal strengths
that are available to the ReefWave from its current location. Note: if the
ReefWave is not in its position on the aquarium, your preferred network
may not be accessible when the ReefWave is repositioned.
Select your preferred network and wait a few moments while the
ReefWave connects to it. The indicator LED will now be a solid red.
Follow the instructions on the app for initial settings.
Initial settings
The unique serial number of each ReefWave is the default name for the
device in the app. However, you can set a new name that you prefer
such as "Left", "Right" etc. These names can be changed at any time
using the "Rename" function from the Device Manager.
For the first ReefWave you connect to your aquarium, you are asked to
select from one of the available wave types which for simplicity will be
scheduled to run constantly for 24-hours per day. Selecting your desired
wave type will open the settings page for this specific wave. By default,
all of the RS waves are set to 40% flow intensity in the forward direction
and 60% reverse. At this stage you can either accept these default
settings or customize them however we recommend that you only
