    Diy Optical water level Sensor...

    Hello, As I am faced with a shortage on the optical water level sensor locally (and no buying direct from CV is not a option as shipping to Canada + brokerage fee is insane...) I thought I would DIY one with an optical IR sensor I have from an older Ice Cap ATO. The sensor has IR emitting Diode...

    Manual parameter logging with Hydros control

    I came here exactly to post this request. Having an input type called « manual » to let the user manually enter tested parameters and be displayed as a graph would be awesome. I don’t have the budget nor the space on my setup to have an automatic tester. With the versatility of the hydros...

I know that the hydros doser can be connected using a drive port or by having it connected to a smart outlet with the optional power...

    Compatible Dosing pumps?

    Yeah I checked it before but it's a single head pump and from what I see it needs a drive port. I was thinking more about a full doser with 4 heads that can be interfaced with the Command Ports to be able to control from a single pane of glass instead of using multiple apps...

    Compatible Dosing pumps?

    Going back to the Kamoer dosing pumps... Looking at the F4 Pro I noticed that this model has CAN1/CAN2 RJ45 ports. So it seems to me, not being an expert with CANbus, that by using a CANbus cable with a GX12-5 to RJ45 would enable the physical connection of the Kamoer on the Hydros control...
