CoralVue HYDROS Control XP8 Energy Bar – Controller Only (HDRS‑CXP8) ⚡🔌
A heavy‑duty, intelligent power center designed to be the backbone of a HYDROS automation system.
The HYDROS XP8 is an 8‑outlet, individually controlled AC power bar with built‑in monitoring, surge protection, and Command Bus connectivity. As a controller‑only unit, it operates as a full HYDROS brain—capable of running automation rules, monitoring power usage, and providing redundancy inside a HYDROS Collective.
It’s ideal for reefers who want professional‑grade power management, fail‑safe automation, and clean, organized equipment control.
✨ Description
The XP8 is more than a power strip—it’s a smart controller with eight high‑current AC outlets, each with real‑time wattage monitoring, overload protection, and individual automation rules. It can run as a standalone controller or join a HYDROS Collective to share processing power and redundancy with other HYDROS devices.
Each outlet can be programmed for heaters, skimmers, return pumps, lights, UV sterilizers, dosing stirrers, and more. With Command Bus connectivity, the XP8 becomes a critical safety component, ensuring your system continues running even if another controller fails.
This “controller‑only” version includes no probes or sensors, making it perfect for custom builds or expanding an existing HYDROS system.
