Monitoring your tank’s temperature is vital for your inhabitants to thrive and stay happy. A temperature sensor can help you keep an eye on the temperature and ensure it stays at the appropriate level.
Step 1: Physically Connect the Sensor
Connect the Temperature Sensor to your Control unit’s Sense Port (GREEN).
It is important to position the temperature sensor securely in your aquarium so that it doesn’t get dislodged and dry above water.
TIP: When installing a magnetic temperature sensor, ensure the orange part with the wire is placed in the water.
Step 2: Create the INPUT Sensor
From the STATUS screen, tap the three horizontal dots to the right of the INPUTS label.
Select “Add / Edit Input”
Tap on the + symbol in the bottom-right corner
Enter the name you wish to assign to your input and tap “Create.”
Step 3: Configure INPUT Sensor
Type: Select Sense Port
Sense Port: Select the port number where you physically connected the temperature sensor
Sense Mode: Select Temperature Probe
Safe Range: This option allows you to set a safe range’s lowest and highest points. If the reading falls outside the range, HYDROS will notify you if you have enabled the notifications below.
Graph Value Limits: You can set the maximum and minimum values under the Graphs view.
Offset: If the reading is slightly off, you can use this option to make minor corrections.
Notification Level: This option allows you to specify what notification level you would like to receive. You will receive notifications when
Temperature is below Safe Range Low
Temperature is above Safe Rage High
Control has lost connection to the sensor
Is Invisible: If you choose to hide the input from the status screen, it will only become visible on pages that have “Show Invisible” selected.
Step 4: Upload Changes
Once you have configured your Temperature INPUT, tap the yellow bar at the bottom of the screen to upload your changes to the cloud and the individual HYDROS devices.

On the popup, tap on the “Gear” icon on the bottom right.
