Hydros USB

I’m trying to put a new hydros auto feeder in service but I can’t figure out how to power up the USB ports on the power strip. Can anyone help?

I don't use the USB ports for that, but if you want to do it setup a constant output type with it set to on. The USB ports are output 5 on the power strip and they are all either on or all off. I just plug my wifi feeder into a outlet using the adapter that came with the feeder since it has to be powered all the time to work correctly.

Ok thanks, that’s how I ran it last time I needed it. I was hoping to save the outlet.

The USB port work like the AC ports on the strip. Program the feeder output or a generic output and use the 1-5 from the menu for the output device. All 4 will turn on together.
