I connected mine to the hydros a few weeks ago. Works great. No issues.Can anyone share their experience using the klir filter roller with the hydros controller?
As far as I know no schedules are known. Many accessories are said to being created.Also, I noticed on a video that I saw that there were multiple flow sensors as options but when you look for flow sensors to purchase for Hydros there is only one. Does anyone know if and when the other options will come out?

Would this be compatible with kh guardian?
You are thinking of the kh director.That is a GHL product and works with their controller so I doubt it but that does not mean someone wont find a away.
Thanks. What I meant what happened if my wifi access point went kaput? Is each outlets will remain the same state as of last or revert to off?
So if the heater is ON and the ATO pump is ON then the power brick loses wifi connection for an hour, the heater and the ATO continue to run for an hour until the power brick reconnects with the control module?Yes, Stay in same state.
I believe so, but what are the chances of that? And remember wifi is different than internet. With a good router the chance of loosing wifi are very slim.So if the heater is ON and the ATO pump is ON then the power brick loses wifi connection for an hour, the heater and the ATO continue to run for an hour until the power brick reconnects with the control module?
I don't use the WiFi for ATO or any dosing. As far as heaters mine have their own thermostats anyway. I set them a coulpe degrees above the control temp. I use the drive ports for ATO and dosing. Coralvue has a pump that works off the drive port. You can get it separate or as part of an ATO kit with the sensor.So if the heater is ON and the ATO pump is ON then the power brick loses wifi connection for an hour, the heater and the ATO continue to run for an hour until the power brick reconnects with the control module?
Exactly. I thought about adding that to my response.I don't use the WiFi for ATO or any dosing. As far as heaters mine have their own thermostats anyway.

I think you would still have to set it up as an output on the Control 4, but you can make it a constant output. You can always override them on the Control 4.Odd Question, but
Can you pair the wifi strip to the control 4 and then just turn on all the outlets without having to set up each outlet individually? Just wondering if you could use the wifi outlet strip as just an on/off strip?

As a network engineer I am aware of how frequently routers lockup, drop offline or deny connections. My concern is that something gets stuck ON or OFF since the power brick in some circumstances may not communicate with the command unit. I don't believe this unit is for me as I am looking for a controller to help mitigate risk not introduce new risk.I believe so, but what are the chances of that?

I was just going to say that why can't there just be a cord between the power outlets and the controller? This is what stopped me from buying it tonight...Hardwired outlet boxes are coming this year for Hydros. The Wifi strips were introduced first as a low cost option for the initial release. Keep an eye out for new products in the future.
Well, your heater shouldn't be controlled only by the power strip on a Hydros, Apex or any controller so it should never be an issue.I was just going to say that why can't there just be a cord between the power outlets and the controller? This is what stopped me from buying it tonight...
I mean, my aquarium is on a limited back up power. But my WIFI is not. And i trust my wifi not a lot...
If you have something that cannot be directly controlled by a Drive Port then you can always use one of these connected to a drive port. i use the drive ports to control ATO, auto water change and refill of DI to storage tanks.I was just going to say that why can't there just be a cord between the power outlets and the controller?
