Question on any of the hydros products to power pumps. I use the IM mighty jet for my main return and Current USA eflux for wave makers. They're all 24v. Any way to power those with Hydros?

You can use two wifi routers as long as they are hardwired to each other.The more i read the more I like too bad it doesn’t produce its own WiFi signal from the brain to control the power strips instead of relying on your home network
I don't think relying on your own network is any issue. Even if your network looses internet it still works.The more i read the more I like too bad it doesn’t produce its own WiFi signal from the brain to control the power strips instead of relying on your home network
Any concerns with having just one power supply for everything being a single point of failure?
My concern is (never had an issue ever for an extended amount of time) but let’s say a tornado blows through my town (this actually happens in my area) and the internet is down for let’s say 2 weeks plus Will my power strips be stuck in whatever loop they are set in?
The control 4 or control 2 and power strips communicate with each other on your local wifi. It does not need the internet to keep going.My concern is (never had an issue ever for an extended amount of time) but let’s say a tornado blows through my town (this actually happens in my area) and the internet is down for let’s say 2 weeks plus Will my power strips be stuck in whatever loop they are set in?
We have been saving for the apex trident. Just came across the hydros but don’t see it has a dosing option, is there something in the works for it? What alternatives would there be?
I really am looking foward to buying this controller. Sorry if this is a stupid question. If i have a heater, ato ( I think i am switching to theirs), return pump, skimmer, 1 ap700 light, and a reactor will I need two power strips? Is it basically like a apex just with less outlets? Thank you!
The Control 4 and Control 2 has Two drive ports which can drive pumps, relays etc. directly. Means they do not need to be on the WIFI strips, They just have to have the connector for it. So if you use their ATO or one of their pumps made to run off a drive port that is one thing that does not need a Wi-Fi strip.
Heater, return pump, skimmer, Ap700 have to go Wifi plug strip. Reactor could just go to a normal power, does it really need to be on the controller? What kind of reactor? If you want it on it looks like to me you will need two WIFI Strips..
Does the AP700 have 0-10v? If so they may eventually have a cable for 0-10v which means you could use the Control to control the lights and then power them from normal power. I am guessing that is future though.
Okay thank you so much! I really would just want to be able to turn reactor on and off from my phone. I'm not to sure if the ap700 is 0-10V.
I did have one big question what would you recommend me purchase I would like to just control devices and temperature i wouldn't mind checking PH in the future. Can this be added to the 2 later on? Thank you again for your help this is my first controller and want to make sure to choose right

I have SO preordered the starter Controller 4 kit! I'm adding a single wireless socket as well, because I want to use the Controller 4 as my temperature controller working off an Inkbird (redundancy! And the Hydros has a finer control of temperature, the Inkbird being in single degrees), and if I plug the Inkbird into the Hydros, the whole Inkbird will go on and off every time the heater has to go on and off (which seems like needless wear-and-tear), so I'm doing the reverse and plugging the single wireless outlet into the Inkbird. Options!!!
