HYDROS Online Manual HYDROS Control Add Skimmer Water Level Sensor

Add Skimmer Water Level Sensor

Adding a Skimmer Water Level Sensor is very simple.  

TIP:

When DRY: This is the normal state and will trigger no action.

When WET: This is the active state. When the sensor becomes wet, it will trigger an action.

Step 1: Physically Connect the Sensor

  1. Connect the sensor to your Control unit’s Sense Port (GREEN).
  2. Safely secure the sensor in your aquarium, ensuring that the sensor cannot become dislodged.

Step 2: Create the INPUT Sensor

  1. From the STATUS screen, tap on the three horizontal dots to the right of the INPUTS label.
  2. Select “Add New Input”
  3. Tap on the + symbol in the bottom-right corner
  4. Enter the name you wish to assign to your input and tap “Create.”

Step 3: Configure INPUT Sensor

  • Type: Select Sense Port
  • Sense Mode: Select Skimmer Water Level
  • Sense Port: Select the port number where you physically connected the input sensor
  • Notification Level: This option lets you specify the notification level you want to receive. You will receive notifications when:
    • The sensor becomes WET
    • Control has lost connection to the sensor
  • Is Invisible: If you choose to hide the input from the status screen, it will only become visible on pages that have “Show Invisible” selected.

Step 4: Upload Changes

Once you have configured your INPUT, tap on the yellow bar at the bottom of the screen to upload your changes to the cloud and the individual HYDROS devices.

  • From the Input setup page, tap on the “Pencil” icon on the top left.
