Leaving a cord unplugged or forgetting to turn a device back on can have devastating consequences on your aquarium. With the HYDROS App’s notification alerts, you can protect your investment and turn a possible disaster into nothing more than a simple inconvenience.

Controllable Outlets

A Smart Way to Power Your Aquarium Gear

Control your aquarium gear locally through WiFi, which you do not need an internet connection for, or remotely using the HYDROS Cloud. The HYDROS Cloud allows you to securely and reliably communicate with the Controls through the internet.

For those who prefer a direct connection, the Control XP8 is a great option that includes eight individually controlled outlets offering the highest level of security. Like the other WiFi outlets, the Control XP8 can also control up to eight HYDROS WiFi devices.

If you need on-demand equipment or a scheduling regime, then these outlets are ready to be controlled!

*HYDROS WiFi Power Strip and Smart Outlet requires HYDROS App and a Control unit to operate. Control XP8 is a HYDROS controller and only requires the HYDROS app.
