Add Water Level Sensor

Adding a Water Level Sensor is very simple.  

Step 1: Physically Connect the Sensor

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

Step 2: Create the INPUT Sensor

1. From the STATUS screen, tap the three horizontal dots to the right of the INPUTS label.
2. Select “Add / Edit 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: Sense Port
• Sense Port: Select the port number where you physically connected the input sensor
• Sense Mode: Optical Water Level
• Notification Level: This option allows you to specify what notification level you would like to receive.  You will receive notifications when
  • The sensor becomes WET
  • Control has lost connection to the sensor
• Alert When Dry: This option allows you to reverse the status for which you will receive a notification.  The Control will notify you if the sensor is dry instead of wet.
• 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 configuring your INPUT, tap the yellow bar at the bottom of the screen to upload your changes to the cloud and the individual HYDROS devices.
