Did some testing this week with the new high head pressure ATO pump from Tunze. And from initial testing, it appears that it works with the Hydros Drive Port. You need to adapt it for a drive port but thats not too hard. This is the new pump...

Note that NICREW uses TRRS cables, and really should use an adapter like this: NICREW HYPERREEF 50/100/150 0-10V Control

This goes over how to control a nicrew LED (hyperreef 50/100/150 only) with Hydros 0-10V output from a X4 or a WELE/WE (with a collective). What you need: - 2x of these TRS female to pigtail wires Amazon.com - 1x of these TRRS male to terminal block Amazon.com - 1x Hydros quad 0-10V cable You...

Are you giving the sensor 4-5 mins to settle when measuring? It is very slow to change when going from high to lower levels

Colors may not be standard across lots or products. You must use an ohm meter to pin out correctly.

Basically operates like a standard optical sensor, in the fact that it can read WET or DRY. It reads wet when the bottom 2 sensors are covered. It reads dry if all 3 sensors are dry. The input will also read OVERFLOW if all 3 sensors are wet. Overflow is only used to generate an alert for the...

Have to use 0-10V, the software option isnt available on a sense port.

Typically you can not directly adapt optical sensors to the sense port on hydros. Typically off the shelf optical sensors require an external resistor bias network to work correctly.

Yep, forgot about that... no memory card in the WEv1 (or WELE i think too). Graph data is stored locally there.

the speed dial is built into the 120v to 12V transformer box. No way to separate them.

Yes as Thomas said, you can run it off a drive port but not at full speed. Use something similar to what I used here for a speed control: Variable Speed Hydros Doser

I just tried myself and didnt have an issue, but that doesnt mean you might not have a specific case thats causing an issue. In that case, I would suggest reaching out to support@coralvue.com and let them look into your specific use case.

@Sanjay I heard you were looking for this info?

Pulling this off onto its own thread since its an easier way to interface eTape sensors with Hydros. I have a full tutorial here: Hydros LLS Sensor Tutorial But in short, you CAN use Neptunes LLS sensors with Hydro's 0-10V input channels/port. They are super handy for monitoring levels or...

Honestly for a rugged and integrated sensor, I felt it was reasonable. Most other options were in the $100s.

I found another sensor that works very well with Hydros that provides both humidity and temp. In addition this new sensor is pretty rugged and can be used for high humidity situations like reptile enclosures where other solutions previously would've suffered in these environments. This sensor...

The Neptune LLS is just the voltage divider version as well. I’ve confirmed that by comparison

The sense ports aren’t really meant for DIY. The sense port profiles are fixed. The 0-10v input port is more configurable in software.

That I do not know. I would assume 0-5v to be safe.

Reboot your master collective device (or if you have only 1 device) and that should fix the issue.
