How to Use the Harvia App with Your Glow Sauna

One of the standout features of your Glow Sauna is smart connectivity. Thanks to the Harvia Xenio app, you can control your sauna directly from your smartphone, bringing comfort, convenience, and consistency to your wellness routine.

Whether you’re adjusting the temperature before a workout, dimming the lights for evening relaxation, or scheduling tomorrow’s recovery session, the app gives you effortless control, anytime, anywhere.

Why Control Your Sauna with the App?

Here’s what makes smart control such a powerful part of the Glow experience:

  • Convenience – Preheat your sauna before you get home so it’s ready when you are
  • Consistency – Set the exact temperature and lighting every time for a repeatable wellness ritual.
  • Energy Efficiency – Use timers to run your sauna only when you need it, reducing unnecessary power use.
  • Personalisation – Save preferred settings for different family members or different times of day.
  • Peace of Mind – Control and monitor your sauna remotely, knowing it’s heating safely and efficiently.

Remote Connectivity

Switch your sauna on or off, even if you’re not at home. Imagine leaving work and arriving to a sauna already at the perfect temperature.

Temperature Adjustment

Slide to select your preferred heat level, or set a target temperature and let the app do the rest.

Benefit: Consistent heat every session, so you can focus on recovery, relaxation, or performance without worrying about settings.

Light Adjustment

Instantly adjust the sauna lighting to create the right ambience — soft for meditation, brighter for energy.

Benefit: Light has a huge effect on mood. Use it to reinforce your wellness goals, whether winding down or recharging.

Timers & Scheduling

Plan your sauna sessions in advance. Schedule the sauna to warm up in the morning, before a workout, or in the evening for relaxation.

Benefit: Your sauna becomes part of your lifestyle — ready when you are, without waiting.

Glow Tips for Smart Sauna Use

  • Safety First: Always make sure the sauna area is clear before turning it on remotely.
  • Pre-Session Prep: Schedule your sauna to preheat so it’s ready exactly when you want it.
  • Optimise Energy Use: Turn it on only for the duration of your session — the app helps you stay efficient.
  • Personalise Settings: Try different light + heat combinations to find your perfect wellness environment.

Bringing It All Together

With the Harvia app, your Glow Sauna isn’t just a piece of wellness equipment — it’s a personalised health experience that adapts to your lifestyle.

From the moment you step inside, you’ll feel the difference:

  • The sauna is already preheated to your exact temperature.
  • The lights are set to the mood you want.
  • The session starts on your schedule - not the other way around.

That’s the power of smart wellness. That’s Glow.
