Number of wifi devices

[John Neuzil]

With the limit of 8 wifi devices to auto feeders count?

My understanding is the wifi feeder does count as one of the wifi devices.

Okey then how come I have 10 connected.

Not sure. How come so many single outlets?

Because I had these outlets I bought on Amazon before I got the Hydros and found that they connect and function just like the Hydros ones. So I've been using them on different tanks in different rooms around the apartment.

I thought the limit was 8 and had not thought about it till yesterday and when I counted I was a bit surprized.

8 is the limit. Hydros will reliably work with 8. Once you go above that it uses more processing power to keep up communication. So while it may work, do know that reliability in communication can be affected.

Interesting. Thanks for the info. I suppose I will work at adding some additional 4 outlet strips when I can.
