HYDROS Launch

The perfect starting point to launch into the HYDROS Control System.

The Launch can measure pH and temperature, control four outlets, and connect to eight wifi devices straight out of the box. With additional accessories, the Launch can detect leaks, monitor water levels, power and control 12V HYDROS devices, track salinity, and more, providing comprehensive control over your aquarium setup. The Launch seamlessly syncs up to the user-friendly HYDROS App for easy and convenient management of your aquarium.

One Salinity Probe

The Salinity Probe is a special probe port for use with conductivity probes to monitor the salinity of an aquarium's water.

One pH/ORP Port

Probes are only as good as their signal. The Control X10 ensures your readings will be accurate and reliable.

Power Four Devices

The Launch includes four 120V AC outlets that can control and power devices such as return pumps or protein skimmers.

Four Sense Ports

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.

Four Drive Ports

Drive ports provide power (switched 12Vdc) and communicate between devices! They also monitor current and can be notified if a failure occurs.

Eight WiFi Devices

The HYDROS App allows you to create rules and schedules to control up to eight wifi devices, such as the HYDROS fish feeder, power strips, and smart outlet.

Two Command Bus

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

Launch Features:

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. 

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.
