Ready to Make SENSE of Your Tank?
Don’t let the compact size of the HYDROS Control XS fool you. This aquarium controller is perfectly capable of performing all the main functions for your saltwater aquarium or freshwater tank. It can monitor temperature, sense leaks, control outlets, send alerts, and much more.
HYDROS devices are utilizing an entirely new way to measure parameters. A Sense Port is a universal input port that can gather data from numerous different types of sensors. Sense Ports makes it easy to add sensors to your HYDROS network.
No extra modules to purchase, complicated coding, debugging or frustrating workarounds – it takes only seconds to add a sensor to your network.

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

The HYDROS App allows you to create rules and set schedules to control our 4-Outlet WiFi AC Power Strips and Smart Outlets. Quickly turn on or off different pieces of aquarium equipment like pumps, powerheads, lights, heaters, algae scrubbers, UV sterilizers, protein skimmers, and more.
The HYDROS Control XS is the ideal solution for small to midsize aquariums and includes 4 universal-use Sense Ports for aquarium parameter measurement and safety. It’s perfect as a standalone controller for a basic saltwater or freshwater tank or combine it with other HYDROS devices as part of a larger system!
Ready to Make SENSE of Your Tank?
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
We strive to provide an experience that allows the HYDROS community to easily engage with us, each other, and other aquatic enthusiasts every day.
