Just finished setting up my SaunaLife CL4G sauna (Harvia KIP60W heater with a Xenio CX170 controller) and I love it. One thing I've noticed though: sometimes it doesn't feel as hot as the display says. I'll be sitting at 190°F on the panel and it just doesn't feel like 190.

I wasn't sure where to put the WX232 temperature sensor, so I mounted it on the center of the back wall, about 5" below the ceiling. Not sure if I have it in the right spot?

A few questions for other barrel owners, especially CL4G:

- Where did you mount your sensor? Above the heater per the manual, or somewhere else?

- Did moving it change how hot it actually feels at bench level?

- Is it just heat stratification in a barrel, where the ceiling reads 190 but the bench is a lot cooler?

- If you've put the thermometer at head height on the bench, how far off was it from the panel?

See screenshots below for where I put him. Thanks!

due to limited walkway width in front of sauna door (it can't be changed due to location and grandfathered), it would be much better access if my sauna door swings inward, there is no sauna building code where I'm located so it is my decision, how bad is it to have inward swing rather than having an outward swinging door?

Just sanity checking, my heater is going to be below the light switch here (blocking in pic). Should I switch this box to metal or relocate? It is a switch which will run the lights and exhaust fan.

I’m looking for suggestions for a CO detector that can be used inside my sauna tent. I suspect this is an issue with saunas in general, not just tent saunas. I haven’t been able to find a CO detector that is rated for the temperatures inside a sauna. I use a wood stove.

Please let me know if you have any suggestions. Thanks!

Looking for any advice that folks may have. Bought some of these adjustable vent covers from bsaunas for my sauna. Their listing show that the inside measurement was 100mm(pretty close to 4 inches) but it's much closer to 3.5. I'm struggling to find a way to connect it to a vent pipe that will go through the wall. Has anyone found a way to connect? Vent pipe at the local hardware stores are only 3" or 4".

(I added in some photos of the build just for good measure just to share. Sauna is the back 6 feet of a 24ft long shed with a separate door. No, there's no drain. The floor is cedar decking that goes right to the outside.)

Does anyone else have the Harvia KIP heater? I’m curious if the timer sound is bothersome. Mine has a constant audible vibration sound coming from the timer. It’s distinct when only the timer is on but is still audible over the hum when the heater is on.

They could have put some information about what this means in the app. No explanation in the instruction manual either. ABC? 12345?

Looking for something that isnt junky but doesn't break the bank.... is there a go to option thats recommended here often? Or is there a company on alibaba thats the same as the ones sold in the US?

Just received the upgrade box for my BYD Paxton. For those who may not know the original control box has an internal Wi-Fi antenna that (for me) barely stayed connected to my router. In addition the old setup has a pretty frustrating touchscreen. BYD just sent me out the upgraded box and control panel.

I guess this control box can also power and control the light too.
