Has anyone created a wifi or bluetooth remote or inteface for the Cube. The OEM one does not have a very good range and I'd like to be able to turn the Chillpad on before bed without having to go upstairs the bedroom.

See posts above yours on recommendations for pumps, and this video to sync your remote with the unit. https://youtu.be/r1jCaotXueg?si=wOTgXYc3...

Jerry, this pump would probably have worked and less than 1/2 the price. I had an issue wth my pump where the shaft wore down causing the armature and impeller to go off center, and then the pump wouldn't start. https://coldandcolder.com/collections/fe...

I just purchased this pump as a replacement.. I’ll let you know how it works out. https://www.ebay.ca/i/372714292144?ul_no...

Also to note, my “good” cube that I bought from Chili has the 433mhz module, while the cube I bought off ebay has some other type module that I could not find info on.. and that ebay cube has a communication problem. It won’t connect with a remote (I have 3 remotes, all work on my good cube). 433mhz modules I bought (99 cents !!!) https://www.banggood.com/315MHz-433MHz-L...

Dan Bowen, I had not done anything with the WIFI / Bluetooth interfacing, but I just tore down my Cube2 I’ve had just over 2 years. The pump is making wierd sounds. Took it apart and found the shaft end that’s burried deep inside, is worn, but not evenly all around. It worn from 1 side to the center, if that makes sense. Almost like the magnetic pull was pulling the shaft/armature to one side. What I also found is a 433mhz receiver module that I was able to find online. It uses ASK (Amplitude Shift Keying) communication that uses a 433mhz carrier sine wave. To send 1’s and 0’s they send the carrier or not. A decoder is I found this video of a guy explaining it, and using Arduino’s do transmit/recieve a signal. I figure if I can decode the info being send by the Cube remote, I might be able to build a interface using a ESP8266 with built in wifi and a 433mhz transmitter module to send the codes to the cube. Here’s the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5C9SPVl...

I have to add about 1 oz of water or Hydrogen peroxide about once a week. Does anyone else have this ? Only using it on cooling down to lowest temp for about 8-10 hrs/night. I’m also trying to build in a wireless control for the remote control. The remote that comes with the cube doesn’t have enought range from the family room to the bedroom, and we like to let it start cooling about an hr before bedtime so we have to run upstairs.

I have 1 Ver2 unit I bought from Chili and under warranty so I don’t want to open that cube so that’s why I’m trying to build something into the remote.

I have another unit I bought on eBay for $100 but the RF doesn’t work.
