Mars Hydro iHub Power Strip 

The Mars Hydro iHub smart power strip was designed to make controlling all of your equipment as simple and easy as it could possibly be. With Bluetooth and WiFi connectivity and over-the-air data transfer and storage capabilities, the iHub power strip is easy to connect and control from anywhere.

Designed with both beginner and experienced growers’ needs in mind, the iHub helps towards keeping your plants safe and as healthy as they could possibly be. Together with the Mars Hydro APP you can automate and manage your grow area, view important data and receive updates and notifications, any time, from anywhere, all via your smartphone.

With the iHub power strip, the days of forgetting to turn on your lights and spending too much time worrying about your plants are over. 

Working in unison with the Mars Hydro APP, growers are now able to manage, control, change and set different aspects of the growing environment all from a few clicks on their smartphone. Thanks to the iHub Power strips’ USB ports that facilitate data transfers of all the information you need that can then be sent straight to your smartphone via the Mars Hydro APP. And in turn, you can configure your temporary settings in your grow space to modify the climate, lighting, circulation, and irrigation in a real-time manner. 

 

The iHub power strip provides 6 outlets to power your grow house equipment that can be individually turned on or off at designated times, along with extra 4 USB ports dedicated to Mars Hydro Heat Mats, dimmable LED grow lights, and probe sensors to measure climate while also recording and transmitting data to the APP and simultaneously enabling control of all of your devices to meet all of your needs. All with just one iHub power strip.

On top of that, for dimmable grow lights using RJ11 or RJ12 dimming cables, the iHub power strip specifically provides the #3 outlet with a USB_DIM port, making it possible to dim your grow lights on the Mars Hydro APP, whether you’re using Mars Hydro LEDs or not! Of course, the #3 outlet with the USB_DIM port is compatible with the dimmable Mars Hydro LED grow lights that are not smart to let them be smart!

 

Intelligent Timer Settings To Save You Time

With the intuitive timer feature, automating your growing experience is easy and simple to set up. We have listened to feedback from the Mars Hydro community and have learned that home grow automation is the future of growing. By setting a “start time” and “duration”, the iHub power strip has the ability to turn on or off 6 separate devices at the allotted time of your choice, saving you the hassle of turning them on or off yourself.

Of course, if you want to run your devices overnight, this feature will totally do the trick and saves you from buying extra timers for your different devices. And these timers are able to be managed and regulated over thousands of miles away!

 

Dynamic Triggers To Maintain An Optimal Growing Environment

With the Mars Hydro APP, growers are finally able to set their desired temperature and humidity requirements for their smart indoor growing area. Once you’ve decided on the right temperature and humidity range for your plants, set the values via the APP and then sit back and relax as your Mars Hydro products will automatically cooperate to ensure that the climate levels do not exceed the range you set, thus maintaining the optimal growing environment. That is what we used to call “climate triggers”. Once the climate is out of the optimal range, the trigger is pulled, and the selected devices on the iHub power strip start to work.

 

Features

Manage Your Smart Indoor Garden: The iHub power strip works in unison with the Mars Hydro APP to help you automate and manage your indoor garden, providing accurate and accessible data, all via your smartphone.

Control Multiple Devices: The iHub power strip provides 6 outlets to simultaneously control all of your devices and meet all of your needs with just one smart power strip. Of these 6 outlets, outlets #1 and #2 together with a USB port can be used with Mars Hydro’s seedling heat mats with USB probe to monitor and control the output temperature of the heat pad; outlet #3 together with another USB port is compatible with any dimmable LED grow light with RJ11 or RJ12 dimming cable, thus making the dimming of lights on the iHub APP possible.

Loop Timer Setting: By setting the “start time” and the “duration”, the iHub power strip will automatically turn your devices on or off at the pre-set times of your choice, setting you free from the costs and hassle of setting 6 timers. And it’s a Loop Timer, which means once you set it, the timer will continue to work every day until you stop it or replace it with new settings.

Smart Control of Climate Triggers: After setting your desired temperature and humidity requirements via the Mars Hydro APP, you can rely on your smart growing room to automatically control and maintain the optimal environment for worry-free growing. Once your settings are activated, the selected devices will work automatically.

APP Control & Accessible Data: Use the Mars Hydro APP to monitor climate data and power consumption along with setting timers and receiving notifications, all remotely controllable via WiFi. Growers can view data by Hour, Day, and Month to understand fluctuations and make predictions in order to reduce guesswork and use the data to adjust the growing environment.

Safety Protection: The iHub smart power strip has a built-in 16A overcurrent fuse that will cut off power and notify you via the APP in case of overload. Together with the outlet safety doors, this power strip provides protection from sudden electric shock when plugged in.

Notification: Once you connect the iHub smart power strip with the APP, avoid operating it manually because the manual operation(adc mode) would replace your APP operation(cmd mode).
