Hydros Control4 Button Switch Box
There are 2 versions for Switch Box wiring! Bare wire (to use 1 channel of breakout box) or direct to 0-10v port
This Hydros Contol4 Switch Box utilizes one channel of the 0-10v input, and can apply 4 unique voltage inputs. A Control4 owner can use this to trigger different modes (Such as Feed or Water Change) or shut off specific devices without needing to take out their phone.
Inside this Switch Box is a custom HarrysAquatics designed PCB, which incorporates a pulldown circuit (So the channel normally reads 0v instead of floating at 2.5v) as well as a resistor tree to apply 1v, 2v, 3v, or 4v to the Control4. You can then use the Hydros app to program the appropriate response for each voltage.
There are two wiring variations of this product!
#1 Bare Wire Cable:
This would be used with the HarrysAquatics Hydros 0-10v Breakout. The benefit of this arrangement is that you only utilize a single voltage input channel, and have three remaining to connect other sensors (such as humidity, air temperature, or ambient CO2) or additional switch boxes. It has three bare wires; red for the 5v source, black for ground, and yellow for the channel input.
#2: Plug and Play with 0-10v Connector: This is the plug and play version, for people who do not expect to use the other 3 voltage input channels. The benefit of this version is that it does NOT require any additional breakout or involve bare wires, but the drawback is that the user will lose access to the other channels in the port.
Note: Get Started Guide included, but setup/programming in Hydros app is required.
