Take it easy on the critiques; I'm not fluent in video editing or videography.
Matthew. Just so you know ( good job ). I just installed a 36K and learned that I needed to remove the cover only after I had completed the install. I had seen your video and wished I had seen your video before mounting to the wall. I contacted Pioneer tech support and they told me they could email me a video. I recived the email from Pioneer and it's this video. First they should put a big warning sticker suggesting pre-installing a wifi adapter AND they should reward you in some way for your posting. It was a pain, as you suggest but I got it finally done. Thank you for the posting.
A warning sticker would help immensely! Thanks for the info; I guess I need to reach out to them for some royalties 🤣🤣
Thanks dude. I had trouble taking the damn cover off without your help. Glad to see you are a fellow woodworker.
Heads up if you got a Diamante with a small white USB thumb-drive-looking thing; just lift the front panel, look up, and plug it in. No screw removal needed. This video helped me realize this one is different though. Thank you for posting.
Yes I think mine is like yours. Would have been helpful to know what series that one is. Mine is WS
Comment Win, big boss! I looked up and found it for WYT012GLFI22RL
You should have shown how the Wi-Fi works after you hook it up that would be helpful thank you awesome video

Thanks for doing this, I think you are right in that it is the only one. Just a suggestion... I notice Amazon has a kit that allows you to mount an iPhone to a head strap or a chest strap. So for $20 you can have your other hand back. :)
I held off for over a year waiting to install my Wi-Fi because I watch this video and thought I had to take the whole thing apart. My Diamanté Pro only requires taking the cover off the electrical connections, sliding out the circuit board and plug in the Wi-Fi board and then, wrapping the wires and screwing the Wi-Fi module onto the cover. Simpler! My WYS models simply plug into a USB port. Those are sweet.
Well, Maybe I’m crazy but I just purchased a mini split just like this MODELWT012ALFI19HLE and it appears you can plug the Wi-Fi modulator in without taking the cover off. Shouldn’t take any more than a pair of needle nose pliers to plug in.
Talented for a one handed worker!
Thanks!
Have the same mini-split and module. Was surprised to see you mount it to the lid. It's made to mount to the body of the mini-split. It mounts just to the left of the barcode sticker. If you use the mounting holes there it sits flush, the line is the perfect length, and the WIFI chip is oriented forward in the correct direction. I'm guessing what you did works, but the line is short and the wifi range is probably reduced. Mine also came with the screw.
I don't know if they changed the design, but mine couldn't go anywhere except for the lid. You can see an outlined form that perfectly seats the module around it. I'm glad they made it the way you have, it's mind of a pain to have the wires restricting the movement of the lid.
@@matthewdittman the design didn't change. You have the fastening location just to the left of your barcode. There is a tab hole and a screw hole right there that it goes in.

@@matthewdittmanthis is correct. It does not sit flush on certain models it had to go on the lid for mine as well even though it fits exactly. I think the realized their mistake on later models and it was the cheapest way to fix it.
@@PPGJeremyit did change. It’s slightly too thick because of the lcd now. Same thing happened to me.
Great video. You made it look pretty easy. Kinda lazy for them not to include the module. To much opportunity for me to damage the plastic, so I think I'll pass.
Thanks for the video bro...what about doing a video on setting up the WIFI.
MATTHEW bro I think you really need to do I video on the wifi set up.

Thanks for this, a great help!
this was helpful! i have the 36k version and it appears the whole shroud doesn't need to come off.
the electrical section has a larger cover that reveals much more access area.
unrelated question though, did your unit also come with 2 2x6" black filters? i cant seem to find where they want them installed.
Thanks for the feedback!! Mine did not come with 2 2x6 black filters. I'll seed if I can find out the answer for you. What's the model #?
Those little filters go inside of the white filters
@@matthewdittman model number is WS024GMFI19HLD (i guess i was mistaken above and its a 24k unit) also referred to as a "WYS Series"
@@d3115uxor Steven is correct. It looks like the black filter is attached to the flexible mesh filter somehow. Check out page 10 of your manual.
Same here. 12k btu 110v unit. Just move some wires around and the circuit board slides out just enough to plug in the cable.
No need to take the cover off.
Edit: I think the new Diamantes have a USB wifi dongle now. I thought the Diamante Ultras came with Wifi installed..or are you saying they sell the unit without the wifi inserted already? That would be rediculous. Thanks for the vid!
I had to buy the wifi dangles myself....🤷🏻♂️ I guess it wasn't worth it to them to include it for every sale.
im about to have my building spray foamed too, how well does that 24k heat/cool for you?
My shop is 40x60x16. Near Dallas. When it's 100⁰F outside, it'll drop the inside temp to 78 or so on max cool. Insulation is only 1-inch closed cell
I have 2 of the same unit
@@matthewdittman ok, totally different i guess, im 20x24x12ft, 2-3 inches of foam and im actually more interested in heating than cooling. mines running now & seems to make decent heat
Is there a.dongle.you need also to make.this work.and where is.the.best.place to buy the module? buy.besides.the.module?
Here it is from Home Depot. www.homedepot.com/p/Pioneer-Wireless-Internet-Access-and-Control-Module-For-WYT-Model-Mini-Split-System-TST-DIAWIFITPD/314610125
I'm sure it can be found several other places.
Did you have any issues getting connected to the wifi module? I have been unable to connect mine.
Do you have the correct app? It should be "SmartLife-SmartHome"
I had some difficulty creating an account because you need some type of code that didn't come with the module. Let me see if I can find it.
Otherwise, what specifically is the issue you're having?
As stated before, the issue I had was in creating an account. The module didn't come with a QR code that worked or a code. The code I ended up using was "Pioneer" and was able to finish setting up my account and adding my devices without any hiccups.
Here's the manual if you need it.

@@matthewdittman yeah I have the correct app. Also have the account setup. When I get to the end where the app tries to connect to the wifi module it always goes past the 2 minutes and times out. Then asks if I would like to try again or use another method to connect. I have been pulling my hair out for a out 3 months now. I thought it might be my wifi strength in my shop so I bought a wifi extender and it didn't help either.
@@shanetwogood7893 try 2 things
Go through the reset process (if you haven't already).
Put your phone on airplane mode and turn wifi back on.
Try set-up again.
Other than that (and assuming you have the correct wifi password), I'd contact Pioneer.
Where does the dongle get plugged into?
Check out the video around 9:28. Let me know if that answered your question.
Is this brand Pionner reliable and operating quiet?
As long as it is set up correctly. After installation, you may want to have an HVAC tech check the installation.
It’s very impressive and 5 year warranty if you register the product with correct pressure readings…..all that
Nice marijuana grow lol I saw you have a trimmer in the background lol
Dude... I have no idea what you're talking about....
How do you turn the wifi on
It should turn on as soon as there is power to the unit. Connecting it to wifi is a different story and I haven't gotten around to recreating how that worked for me.
@@matthewdittman mine wasn't working for a little while-it wasn't transmitting wifi. I had to disconnect the connector then plug it back in for it to reset (while the unit was on). Cycling power to the unit did not reset it on its own. I forgot what model it is, but it's the 30kbtu unit and I had to get the wifi card.
Here’s a link to the video: th-cam.com/video/KsYbdXu2J2c/w-d-xo.html
@@matthewdittman thanks, I had it set up for about a year then I had to reset it since it stopped responding. Once it did that, I was able to reconnect
Long video for a hookup to NOT include showing how to setup and operate the wifi.
It's an installation video. I need to figure out how to make a recording of the wifi setup process.
Here’s a link to the video: th-cam.com/video/KsYbdXu2J2c/w-d-xo.html
I think the Seers2 model is easier to install using a USB dongle but there's no video about it. It seems like people installing these unit are old farts that does not use an app. Hello people...its 2024. Everything has AN APP!!
You don’t need to take the cover off for the new ones to install it at least not the 12,000 btu model
The instructions that come with this thing are nonsense.
This hits the lcd if you put it in the spot they say. For the new ones just like your video there’s a slot on the flap you open next to the LCD that it goes in. Wasted 30 minutes of my life trying to get this thing to close. Garbage.
You take too long
To do what?
Does your WiFi unit only fit on the door?
Mine is mounted adjacent to the access panel.
I know it's different style than your mini-split BUT the foot print looks the same.
I've included a picture of what I'm referring to on mine.
