Quick & Easy Setup

Absolutely No Coding!

There is no complicated programming language to learn. If you can operate a smartphone, you can be the operator of a smart aquarium—tap, drag, press, or flick to adjust settings using intuitive icons and simple menus. Schedule each component in your aquarium life support system to run at a specific time, frequency, or intensity.  You can also use real-time data and easily configure more complex actions.

System Smart Net

All HYDROS devices speak with each other to keep your aquarium thriving!

The HYDROS system forms a web to monitor and control equipment like water level sensors, automatic top-off pumps, and other devices. Unlike other automation systems, the HYDROS Control can eliminate communication problems and maintain control of the aquarium even if a device is removed or shuts down. 

Protected from the Elements

Splash Proof, Dust Proof, and Secure – Built to Last

HYDROS brings a new standard to the aquarium industry with a controller that is resistant to the elements. Industrial grade materials help the controller’s enclosures stay rugged and secure, even when it comes in contact with moisture or saltwater!

Alerts, Alarms, & Notifications

Accidents happen, but with HYDROS, it doesn’t have to be a disaster.

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.
