The Harvest Right Wi-Fi Upgrade Kit puts a compatible freeze dryer on your home Wi-Fi network and onto the Harvest Right App. The USB adapter comes with Harvest Right's version 6 software already loaded. Once it's connected, you can start, stop and watch batches from your phone, and the app tells you when a batch is done.
Check compatibility before you order. Because of hardware limits, only Harvest Right PRO freeze dryers (Home, Pharmaceutical and Scientific) and the Countertop 360 can be upgraded. To spot a PRO model, count the shelves: Small has 4, Medium 5, Large 6 and X-Large 7. You can also check the serial number on the back of the unit. Harvest Right's example is P-MTF, where the M stands for Medium. The freeze dryer must also be running software that starts with 5.4 or 5.5; the number is shown on the home screen. Units on 5.0, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3 or earlier cannot use Wi-Fi. If you're not sure, Harvest Right Customer Support (801-386-8960) can confirm your model.
Why it matters
- Start, stop and adjust freeze and dry settings from your phone, at home or away.
- Smart Alerts tell you when a batch finishes or if something unusual happens.
- Version 6 software is built for shorter cycles, and it adds Harvest Right's patented Candy Mode.
- Send preset recipes from the app straight to the freeze dryer, so you don't have to set temperatures by hand.
- Save your own settings and recipes in the app for next time.
- With your approval, Harvest Right support can connect to the unit to review settings and batch history.
- Setting up Wi-Fi also completes your freeze dryer's warranty registration.
