【Blog】Simplify Your Growing Experience With Mars Hydro ihub Power Strip And App

As you wake up and allow your eyes to gradually adjust to the morning sunlight, you turn over to check the time and come to a terrible realization: you overslept and you’re late for work!

With a sudden burst of energy, you hastily put on your clothes and run out the door to try and make up for the lost time you spend in bed, sleeping peacefully.As you race to work you come to a second realization, you didn’t water your plants! It’s too late to go back now though, so, you begrudgingly continue on your journey and hope for the best.

That doesn’t sound ideal, right? That’s why Mars Hydro is releasing our new range of smart products, including the Mars Hydro iHub Power strip and the Mars Hydro APP. With these products, forgetting to water your plants, turn on your lights, and personally maintain the correct temperature and humidity of your grow area is a thing of the past! With a quick setup and an easy-to-use APP, you have full control of your growing environment from your smartphone!

This is potentially very interesting to me. I have a question about the scheduling feature.

I run a flood and drain. I require a plug to turn on every hour for a certain number of minutes and then shut off. For a given AC socket, can I easily schedule 24 on/off times throughout a day? What is the process for doing this?

More specifically, can I easily set a plug to turn on every hour for X number of minutes, 24 hours a day?

Further, when I change X (the number of minutes for the plug to be on), can I do this only once or do you require me to do this 24 times?

Thanks!

Mars should make it so you can adjust all the way down to the seconds. That would be a big selling point for me. And I’m sure a lot more. If they can only be set by hours they they are only good for a few things in the grow like lights and fans.
There is plenty of companies that make these same plugs so please mars step up your game and make one that’s better than all the others on the market.

I agree down to the minute is crucial for hydro pumps. If it can't monitor all my devices why bother changing...
