Add a Page

HYDROS users now have the option to use Pages to keep their things organized easily. Pages allow users to customize multiple STATUS screens, allowing them to hide or show different inputs, outputs, and WiFi devices. With Pages, you can create a personalized STATUS page that only displays what’s essential to you and hides everything else.

Step 1: Create a Page

  • From the Status screen, tap on the main menu in the upper-left-hand corner and select Pages.
  • Tap on the “+” symbol on the bottom right.
  • Type in the name of your new Page.
  • Show Invisible Items: This enables the page to display any “invisible” inputs or outputs.

Step 2: Configure the Page

  • Head back to your Status screen, and now, below the HYDROS logo at the top, you will see your newly created Page.
  • Tap on the Page name OR slide your status screen right-to-left to access the new Page.
    WARNING: All tiles are added to the Page when you create a new page.  It is up to you to hide the parts you do not want to show.

Configuring the Section

To hide a section (i.e., Modes, Inputs, Outputs, WiFi Devices), you need to tap the arrow to the LEFT of the section title.  

Hiding Modes/Inputs/Outputs/WiFi Devices

Different sections on Pages can be treated in diverse ways. For instance, you could use the “Tile” view for your INPUTS and the “Text” view for your OUTPUTS. This customization option enables you to tailor your experience to fit the needs of the most exigent aquarist.

TIP: Different sections on Pages will have varying views. For instance, you can choose to hide an input as a tile while still displaying it as a graph. A good example of this is the Leak Detector. You may prefer to show it as text or a tile instead of a graph. Pages enable you to keep each view distinct from the other.

To hide the tiles or text within each section:

  • Press and hold on to one of the tiles or text until the tiles display a checkmark on the left.
  • Proceed to uncheck the peripherals you do not wish to show on this Page.
    TIP: To save time, you can also tap on the “Check All” or “Uncheck All” option.  Please remember that you must always have at least one tile/text/graph showing.  When you tap “Uncheck All,” the first tile/text will always remain checked.  Select another tile/text/graph and uncheck the first option if you want to hide it.
  • When you are done selecting which tile/text/graph to hide, press and hold any of the tile/text/graph options until the checkmark on the left disappears.  

If you want to move and change the tiles/text/graphs, press and hold the item you wish to move and drag it to the desired location.  Release when done.

Step 3: Define the Startup Page

Pages also allow you to specify which Page you want to show when the app starts.  

  • From the Status screen, tap on the main menu in the upper-left-hand corner and select Pages.
  • At the bottom of the Page, you may specify which Page to use as your Startup Page.

Want to Rearrange the Page Order?

Pages allow you to change the name of the Page quickly.  

  • From the Status screen, tap on the main menu in the upper-left-hand corner and select Pages.
  • Tap the pencil icon to the right of the Page name and type in the new name.

Pages also allow you to change the order in which the pages are displayed readily.

  • From the Status screen, tap on the main menu in the upper-left-hand corner and select Pages.
  • Press and hold on to the two horizontal bars to the right of the page name, then slide it up or down—release when done.

To delete a Page, tap on the trash can to the right of the page name. However, deleting the Page WILL NOT delete the sections or the INPUTS/OUTPUTS/WiFi Devices.
