Would this reasoning apply to the devices on a wifi power bar? For example an ATO pump? Or a hydros dosing pump connected to a wifi power bar?

how about a really good Hydros peristaltic pump for ATO &AWC?

I use Hydros dosing pumps for ATO and AWC and the pumps are in the garage and the tank is 35ft away. The tubing is run through my attic. The Drain pump pulls water from the sump up and through the attic and down to the pump. It then goes back up to the attic and another 25 and down to the kitchen sink drain. The ATO is a Hydros simple doser and the AWC pumps are two pumps on my Minnow. So far no issues.

I think I confused myself watching this. I have a freshwater tank that I am using an almost maxed out input and output Launch controller on. I have a Hydros wifi strip that my Hydros dosing pump on. I am using it to dose an all in one fertilizer, 22 ml, at noon every three days. This seems to be a WiFi setup, so what am I missing that does or does not make this a WiFi setup?

Why does a WiFi doser need to be told to stop, why can’t it just be told to dose xml in a single request?

It’s possible that if I was more “informed” at last years RAP in Orlando, I would have Hydros now and not Apex.

If my power goes off then my lights aren’t turning on so I don’t have coral growth and I don’t need to dose because I don’t have demand for the dosage. I rather have WiFi for the 99% percent of the time when I need it….
