Hydro-X Environment Control System （HCS-1）
The Hydro-X system is a professional-grade single zone environmental system. It is fully customizable and modularly designed. Installation is simple and the system is easy to expand upon. The Hydro-X system can control most grow lights brands, HVAC systems, mini-split air conditioners, commercial dehumidifiers and humidifiers, as well as CO2 generators or regulators. With the free TrolMaster App, the user can access all of the settings and alerts on the system from anywhere at anytime.
*The HCS-1 is the brain of the Hydro-X system. It comes with a 3-in-1 Temp/Humid/Photocell sensor.
*Internet Connection Note: TrolMaster's main controllers can be connected to the internet in order to use the available APP. Most internet services available including land-based and cellular internet are compatible. However, HughesNet / Viasat Satellite internet is NOT compatible with TrolMaster controllers at this time.
Data Record Note: The HCS-1 can record the data coming in from the sensors onto a CSV file. To use this feature, you must first insert a MicroSD card 32GB or less into the MicroSD slot on the bottom of the HCS-1 or NFS-1 controllers. Once the card is inserted, the unit will automatically store data so it can be viewed later.
