Hydros for two 0-10 devices?

[BurgerFish]

Is there any small, low-end Hydros controller for two 0-10 device? Like Kessil LED and a pump.

I see HYDROS WaveEngine LE Pump Controller but it has only one 0-10 port.


There are so many versions of Hydros, maybe I miss something?

I don't think the wave engine will do lighting unless it is in a collective with one of the other controllers. Each 0-10v port has 4 channels on it usually. I don't have a WE LE but do have the WEv2 and it has 4 channels of 0-10v output and 4 channels of 0-10v input. The X4 also has 4 channels of 0-10v inputs and outputs. What else do you want to control or monitor. my guess is you best bet would be a X4 starter kit or the X4 pro pack depending on what else you want to do with the controller other than control lights.

I just checked the wave engine LE only has 0-10v inputs so they are not outputs which you would need to control lights.

X4 is too big for a nano tank. I need something small and cheap like x2, but x2 doesnt have 0-10 port...

At this time the X4 is the only controller that has 0-10v outputs. The Wave Engine v2 has them but it is the same size as the X4. I have a 42 gallon tank and have 9 of the Hydros controllers in a collective. Is it physically to big or you think it does too much?

At this time, the only devices that meet your 0-10v OUT requests are the HYDROS Control X4 and WaveEngine. 0-10v Control is a more advanced setup that wouldn't find its way to our other, smaller, concise controllers. Unfortunate for this situation.

However, there are still ways you can incorporate HYDROS, albeit in a binary On/Off fashion. You still setup your Lights and Pump to a HYDROS Controllable outlet. Yeah, 99% of the time, those outlets are going to be on, but you get control over them in the time of a water change, leak, maintenance, etc.
