The FireStar XP Wi-Fi Module is a remote display for the FireStar II
electronic controller. It has the ability to set up its own wi- network
to send and receive data from another wi- enabled device like a
laptop, tablet or smartphone. The FireStar XP can be connected to an
existing wi- network like your home’s, if you have one. If your home
wi- network is connected to the internet and you create an account
at MyFireStar.com, you can take advantage of the FireStar XP’s online
features – features that include real-time status, operational history,
viewing charts and graphs, and receiving alerts.
