Hydros Display Screen?

[MeatCake]

Is there any product out there that can function like the APEX ADM for the Hydros?

I Have not seen anything in my 12month or so of research into hydros... What about a small android or IOS tablet dedicated to the tank. They are some pretty cheap ones on amazon that may work well

I just used an old tablet I had lying around. Attached it with some Velcro and that’s it.

Oh that is sexy!! You have an old tablet, but I’m not sure how to tell Hydros to auto-refresh.
I’m going to give that a go, thanks!

I believe after 5 mins of constant refreshing, it goes into a slower refresh mode (something like once every few minutes). Others have used browser extensions to auto force a refresh as well.

if you want another way to trigger modes and you have a purple 0-10V port, theres always this as well www.HydrosButtonBox.com

Thank you everyone. You gave me some ideas and I appreciate it!

This is correct. I use “Tasker” to keep display on and automate a simulated click on the refresh icon when it pops up on the hydros app. It’s kind of a pain to set up but after some YouTube university, it’s not that bad. Really wish hydros would just let the app auto refresh but here we are…
