Your stepping stone into smart control for your OASE products The universal LunAqua Connect lighting system for gardens and ponds provides a simple stepping stone into the world of smart lighting control. Using the OASE Switch app, white and coloured lights can be dimmed, the colours of RGB lights can be selected, and time scenarios can be set on a daily basis for both types of lighting. The system can therefore be flexibly used for illuminating bushes, trees, ponds and streams as well as garden decoration, paths and buildings. The LunAqua Connect system is a modular concept that can be expanded at any time. It can be started either with one of three sets or with individual components – depending on your application and requirements. Extension cables, outlet cables and three-way distributors can be used to provide light precisely where you need it in your garden and pond. The LunAqua Connect Controller, which is required to use OASE Switch app functions, can also be retrofitted later. For the AquaMax Eco Classic C pump series, the Switch app allows power to be regulated and enables the read out of various power parameters such as speed, power consumption and operating hours. When you have it open, the app also monitors safety: It will send you a notification if the pump runs dry or if dirt causes a blockage. Note: The app is only used to control the LunAqua Connect lighting system and the AquaMax Eco Classic C pump series. Please use the OASE Control app to control your OASE Control-enabled terminals.
