Saunum AirIQ Wi-Fi Control: Set Your Heat and Plan the Week from Your Phone
The Saunum AirIQ Wi-Fi is the dedicated control unit for the Saunum Air 7 (6.4 kW) and Air L 9 (9.0 kW) electric sauna heaters, both of which include the Saunum Climate Equalizer. This fan system circulates steam evenly so the top and bottom benches reach the same temperature. Its compact soft-touch display panel and the free Saunum app (iOS and Android) let you adjust heat and fan speed, save three sauna presets, and schedule sessions for the week ahead. You can adjust the temperature from 104 to 194 degrees Fahrenheit (40 to 90 degrees Celsius). The control panel mounts on the wall outside the hot room, never inside.
The free Saunum app connects over your home Wi-Fi network. Once paired, you can preheat the sauna from anywhere, receive a push notification when it hits your target temperature, and check door and overheat status without leaving the couch. Heaters up to 12 kW connect directly to the AirIQ power unit; installations above 12 kW require a separate Saunum contactor box (sold separately) – contact us before ordering if your heater exceeds this threshold.
The box includes the soft-touch display panel, wall-mounting plate and fasteners, power unit, and door-sensor magnet. The display panel cable (15 ft / 4-conductor), door sensor cable (9.83 ft), and room temperature sensor ship with the Saunum Air heater, not in this box. Screen and child locks prevent accidental setting changes.
Need the heater and stones together? See the Saunum Air 7 Package, which includes the heater, control, and stones. This listing is the North American version (240 V, 1-phase); a European version is available. Confirm your region before ordering. This control is HSA/FSA eligible through TrueMed, sauna use qualifies as a wellness expense for many plan holders, and can save an average of 30% off the purchase price. The Saunum AirIQ Wi-Fi Control ships free from Norse Steam with No Sales Tax (except WY) and our 100% price match guarantee.

The door sensor cable (9.83 ft / 3 m, also included with the heater) runs to the sauna door frame. A licensed electrician should complete the final wiring connection.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Saunum heaters are compatible with AirIQ Wi-Fi?
The AirIQ Wi-Fi works with the Saunum Air 7 (6.4 kW) and the Saunum Air L 9 (9.0 kW), and it supports any Saunum electric heater rated up to 12 kW. If your heater exceeds 12 kW, a separate Saunum contactor box is required before the AirIQ power unit can be used. Contact us before ordering if you are unsure which configuration applies to your setup.
Does the AirIQ Wi-Fi replace the standard AirIQ (non-Wi-Fi) control?
Yes. The AirIQ Wi-Fi is the upgraded version of the standard AirIQ panel. It adds remote app control, weekly scheduling, and push notifications. The physical installation process is the same as the standard version; the Wi-Fi model requires a 2.4 GHz home Wi-Fi network to enable app features.
What Wi-Fi standard does the AirIQ use, and does it work with 5 GHz networks?
The AirIQ Wi-Fi connects to standard home Wi-Fi (2.4 GHz recommended). Most dual-band routers broadcast both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands simultaneously; if you have trouble pairing, make sure your phone is connected to the 2.4 GHz band during initial setup. If you have questions about network compatibility for your specific router, contact us, and we can walk you through it.
Is the AirIQ Wi-Fi HSA/FSA eligible?
Yes. This product qualifies for HSA/FSA purchase through TrueMed. Many plan administrators recognize sauna use as a wellness expense. Use the TrueMed option at checkout to apply your HSA/FSA card and save an average of 30%. We recommend verifying eligibility with your individual plan provider before purchase.
What is included in the box, and what ships separately with the heater?
The AirIQ Wi-Fi box includes the soft-touch display panel, wall mounting plate and fasteners, power unit, door sensor magnet, and installation manual. The display panel cable (15 ft, 4-conductor), door sensor cable (9.83 ft), and room temperature sensor are included with the Saunum Air heater, they are not in this box. If you are purchasing the control unit separately as a replacement, confirm you have those cables from your existing heater installation.

The AirIQ Wi-Fi Control includes a limited warranty from Saunum. For full warranty terms and registration details, see the Warranty & Manuals page. Norse Steam is an authorized Saunum dealer, and our customer team is available by phone or chat to assist with any warranty questions or claims.
