Great video!!! I have owned my Hydros for abut a year and you are correct about the 2.4GZ router. I have never had an issue with the WIFI strip OR any connection issues. Thanks for the video keep them comming.
So jimmy on your FW tanks WiFi strip does it have to be plugged into a brain via cable or does it just link wirelessly to the collective. So for you to run your WiFi strip that’s all you had to mount under the tank. You didn’t have to buy another device to use as a brain just for the FW tank correct?
The TUNZE ATO does not directly communicate with HYDROS. But, you can always plug the Tunze ATO into a HYDROS Controllable outlet and determine when that should be on/off. Alternatively, if ANYTHING is 12v, you can adapt it to the DRIVE Port, but this is a bit more involved.
I think the Maven seems super cool bc it will adjust dosing to coincide with test results, but I’m still not really sure what the current controllers on the market do. It seems like they just turn things on and off, which I currently do with a $30 Kasa smart strip. Not trying to be pejorative at all-I’ve genuinely been a bit confused about what they offer, and the appeal compared to the cost of entry.
With your strips you have to turn them on or off or use them on a schedule. You can also do that on a controller but with the controller you can have it turn things on and off based on inputs like water level sensors, leak detectors, temp sensors, pH and ORP to name a few without you having to do it. They can also send you alerts if any inputs are out of range or in a certain state. My RODI filter and mixing station are automated using my controller. All I have to do is add the salt mix when the mixing tank is refilled with DI water. It also refills my DI reservoir.
Such a great series! Keep it coming!

WiFi strip doesn’t have to be plugged into a brain and they communicate through WiFi tethering
