📶 Gecko IN.Touch 3+ WiFi Interface Module – Remote Spa Control with Waterlab Compatibility
Control your hot tub from anywhere and integrate Gecko Waterlab water quality monitoring – the complete smart spa solution
💧 Product Overview
The Gecko IN.Touch 3+ WiFi Interface Module (CB-AE062) is the advanced version of Gecko’s WiFi connectivity solution, offering all the remote control features of the standard IN.Touch 3 plus full compatibility with the Gecko Waterlab water quality monitoring system. This makes the IN.Touch 3+ the ideal choice for spa owners who want comprehensive smart home integration including automated water chemistry monitoring.
Like its sibling the IN.Touch 3, this module connects to your home WiFi network to provide remote control of your Gecko-equipped spa from your smartphone, tablet, or computer. You can adjust temperature, control pumps, monitor system status, and receive alerts from anywhere with an internet connection. The key advantage of the 3+ model is the added Waterlab integration, allowing real-time water quality data to be viewed alongside your spa controls.
The complete kit includes two communication transmitters – one for the spa and one for your home network – plus all cables and power adaptor needed for installation. Compatible with Gecko Y Series spa packs (IN.YJ, IN.YE, IN.YT) in V2 and V3 versions, the IN.Touch 3+ represents the pinnacle of Gecko’s smart spa technology.
