Please Note: The HYDROS Control X4 Aquarium Controller includes ONLY the controller unit. Other HYDROS devices and accessories sold separately.

Please Note: The HYDROS app is required to use your Internet-connected smart mobile device as a controller. The HYDROS app is downloadable via the Google Play Store and iOS App Store.

The HYDROS Control X4 Aquarium Controller features four (4) Sense Ports, two (2) Drive Ports, two (2) Probe Ports, 0-10V I/O Port, two (2) Command Bus Ports, and is capable of supporting eight (8) WiFi Devices.

HYDROS Smart Device Features

  • Control your HYDROS device(s) from anywhere in the world using the technologically advanced HYDROS cloud-based app
  • Ability to monitor and control your HYDROS device(s) locally through WiFi
  • A fast dual-core 32-bit processor that allows control decisions to be made within each device
  • Internal health monitoring to report voltages, currents, CPU status, and the internal temperature of each device
  • HYDROS Command Bus connections to transfer data and power to devices

HYDROS Sense Port
The Sense Port is a new concept in aquarium parameter measurement. HYDROS devices include several Sense Ports. A Sense Port is a generic input port that can accept data from numerous different types of aquarium sensors.

Sense Ports currently support:

  • Temperature Probes
  • Optical Level Sensors (Single and Dual)
  • Capacitive Non-Contact Liquid Level Sensors
  • Rope Leak Detectors
  • Point Leak Detectors
  • Flow Rate Sensors
  • Magnetic Switches
  • Push-Button Switches

HYDROS Drive Port
The Drive Ports provide switched 12V DC power for running small lights, motors, pumps, fans, and other aquarium accessories. The exact current being supplied by each port is continuously monitored by the Control, so if a motor or pump quits drawing current or draws too much, you will be immediately notified.

Accessories currently supported include:

  • Auto Top-Off (ATO) Pumps
  • Cooling Fans
  • Cabinet LED Lights
  • Solenoids to control reverse osmosis systems

HYDROS Probe Port
The Probe Port is the one of the most remarkable ports on the HYDROS Control X4. You can connect an ORP or a pH probe to the Probe Port but, this is no ordinary pH input! The circuitry is based on an ultra-high-quality input chip specifically designed for these types of probes. Each pH input provides digital galvanic isolation from the rest of the system. Galvanic isolation prevents interference with other accessories connected to the system like motors and pumps. Digital Galvanic isolation preserves the accuracy of the measurement by converting the signal to a digital domain before crossing the isolation threshold.

HYDROS 0-10V Port
The HYDROS Control X4 has 0-10V I/O (input and output) ports that allow it to control and receive commands from other HYDROS devices and accessories from other brands. A legacy automation system can provide input via the 0-10V Ports. They can control variable speed pumps and can also be used to monitor simple switch closures, like push buttons or float switches.

HYDROS Command Bus
The HYDROS Command Bus is used to power the Control as well as communicate with other HYDROS device for the ultimate failsafe.

General Information
Hydros aquarium controllers are the next generation of automated aquarium devices. Rather than relying on each individual device’s brain and programming capacity, the Hydros Control units have their own CPU and control capabilities. Hydros Control devices remove the problem of incompatible ports and need to continually add modules to expand your aquarium’s automation system. This new technology is called the Hydros Sense Port. The Sense Port is an entirely new concept in aquarium monitoring technology. A Sense Port is a generic input port that can accept data from numerous different types of sensors. Drive Ports provide 12-volt power for controlling ATO pumps, cooling fans, and other devices. Hydros is the future of automation!
