Rossmont Waver

Hello, does anyone have experience with setting up a Rossmont Waver controller, POST Rossmont going out of business?? I’ve heard from some who set things up beforehand and are still using it, but I’m trying to set up a Waver and having some real troubles…
I bought two of their 850 pumps and a Waver controller on closeout. The pumps are great and work fine, but I bought them to have CONTROLLABLE AC pumps for UV, and their Waver device is the controllable module. Since they went out of business 2 yrs ago, they no longer offer support and the Waver’s ONLY communication or programmability (as far as I know) is via wifi. No buttons, plugs, etc. Apple has completely removed the Rossmont App from their app store so that’s a non-starter, and the CURRENT Google Apps store doesn’t offer it to download either. You can download a hacked program that runs old googleplay APK apps in “Developer Mode,” and access the Rossmont app from there, but I am having trouble getting it to communicate. I can get the Waver to initially communicate with my computer and connect directly to the Wifi emitted from the Waver, but that seems to be the end of the communications. After “connecting,” it says it can’t find the device and no controls. So, I don’t know what to do…
Does ANYONE have ANY suggestions or experience? Not having a direct plug-in/hardwire option was a HUGE design flaw… Maybe that’s why they went out of business??

I have been a rossmont user for years so I am not sure if this is a legacy of me downloading the app earlier but I can definitely still find the app on the play store.

Hey Montiman, so if you click to download it in a normal fashion, it says it’s no longer available. you actually have to essentially “bootleg” it onto the computer using instructions that I FOLLOWED, but didn’t understand… similar to jailbreaking an iOS device. I did in fact get the app downloaded but it’s clearly an older, buggy version and it doesn’t work correctly. I could get it to recognize the device’s wifi, but once connected that was the end of communications… maybe the app works for legacy, but I can’t get it to work. Hoping there was a non/app workaround!!

Strange. I just had to get a new phone 2 weeks ago after my old one broke and the app installed fine and still works. I will see if I can export the APK.
