HYDROS Control XD

Control XD is an aquarium controller that is focused on powering small devices.

This HYDROS controller features three Universal Drive Ports dedicated to powering small 12V devices. Capable of driving cabinet LEDs, solenoids, ATO pumps, dosing pumps, and much more. 

Three Drive Ports!

It's Now Easier than Ever to Power Small Aquarium Devices.

The Drive Ports provide switched 12V DC power for running small aquarium devices. The Control continuously monitors the exact current supplied by each port, so you will be immediately notified if a motor or pump quits drawing current or draws too much.

Each drive port can handle up to 1.5A, and the entire device can handle up to 3A total.

Specifications

  • Dimensions (LxWxH): 5″ x 2.7″ x 1.9″
  • A fast dual-core 32-bit processor that allows control decisions to be made within each device

Two Command Bus

The Command bus not only powers the Control, but it also communicates with other HYDROS devices for the ultimate failsafe.

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 and are built 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.
