Resurrecting this thread. I have purchased a Maxspect XF250 Cloud edition pump. I drive it by Hydros wave engine, coupled with there XF330/350 series pump adapter. The pump IS controllable from the Hydros, seems to work flawlessly. I certainly make no guarantees it will work for you, but...

Danny, Thanks that's a good suggestion. For now the delay on the startup of the second pump is work well and more straight forward. Yet, your suggestion seems practical and may have other applications down the road.

Well for what it's worth it appears this is not possible with Hydros. Coral Vue, please please please develop a module or functionality to perform some math and other more advanced functionality (similar to this issue), love the product though, but for power users it's got some short comings...

I need to have my return pumps do an extended soft start ramp, both when I initiate a start and when the power is restored. My drain system is complex and there is significant water inertia to accelerate in my line going to the sump room (50' away). When I turn the pumps on it will raise tank...

I want to trigger an output based on a counter. For example I want a drive port to be turned off after a momentary switch is activated N times. Can this be accomplished?

Good point, it may be difficult to understand what load this would place on the unit. I assume there is an amp limit. If I have three point leak detectors with each powered by the 5v pins (in pararllel) I suspect there is little to no current when dry. When wet there will be, if the three...

The evidence is that when dry it is closed, wet is open on analog signal. This seems to make sense based on the operation you have experienced, also an open failure should always trip an alarm. As always you have been a big help. I'm maxing out on my sense port inputs and don't want to have...

I just reviewed the Pinout DIY post. I do see both the analog and digital input, but there's no information on which pinouts the point leak detector uses. Do you know which input the Hydros Leak Detection Sensor ( point leak detector ), uses, analog or digital?

Danny, thank you. So if optical they probably how how supplied by the controller and an internal circuit to sense water optically. Do they then close or open contacts read by the controller. I assume if they open a contact then series would work, if they close contacts then parallel should...

I'm assuming that the point style hydros leak detector triggers on conductivity changes, perhaps resulting in a change of a sense voltage change. Does anyone know if this is the case, if so perhaps placing multiple detecters in parallel will work. Anyone with some insight?

Is it possible to daisy chain leak detection sensors in series to one sense port. I don't want ton of sense ports to support my leak detection strategy. Knowing which leak detector senses a leak isn't critical. For a specific area I may have a few sensors, knowing specifically which sensor...

Well I'm probably going to do that in the near future and get back with everyone. Unfortunately there's a lot of strategic moves my various, perhaps all OEM's, in this industry / hobby. Some friendenemies playing well together for the end customer, but everyone is looking for a strategy for...

Jeff you have gone above and beyond. I owe you. Your understanding of the nuances of this circuit and its interface with the Hydros is great. I couldn't ask for more. Again thanks!

Thanks Danny. That's the designed concept of the voltage divider. I can design it to get 1v steps. For example all switches open yields 4v, when the first float switch trips it's now 3v, when the first and then the second switch is tripped it will be 2V. . . If the Hydros could trigger at...

Bump - here's the fundamental question I have. Can I trigger different outputs for three distinct voltages on a single 0-10 volt input channel?
