Did you create a collective?

Did you go through the initial setup for the controller by naming it and setting up the wifi credentials? If not it will not show up. Also before adding it to the collective you will need to make sure the firmware is up to date on it. It also has to be connected to the other controller using a command bus cable and you will also need at least one terminator. When connecting things to the command bus make sure there is no power to the controllers.
Yes I’ve required cable, configured to the primary Hydros controller Xs and up load to the hydros cloud and power down the Hydros XS and connected the required cable and terminator from the X2 to XS and power up to complete the set up, the status show the X2 is visible but when selected the device and select the + to add the new collective but for some reason the X2 is not visible from drop down nor allowed me to complete the set up..

So you already have a collective created with you XS and trying to add the X2. Make sure you are in the collective that had you XS and click on the left menu and select devices. Then click on the + sign in lower right to add a controller to the collective. Just make sure the one you are adding has the correct firmware installed on it before adding it.
