Hydro-X Pro Controller with 4-in-1 Sensor

Scale Up to 50 Sensors and Modules With Web-Based Access

The TrolMaster HCS-2 Hydro-X Pro controller is built for growers managing a larger, more complex single-zone room, supporting up to 50 sensors and control modules from one 10 inch touchscreen rather than the smaller capacity of the entry-level model. That headroom matters once a room's device-station count grows past what a base controller comfortably handles.

Beyond on-device control, the HCS-2 adds web-based remote access and calendar-based presets, so settings can be reviewed and adjusted from a browser as well as the touchscreen itself.

Key Features & Benefits

• 10-Inch Touchscreen — is the largest on-device display in the Hydro-X controller line.
• Up to 50 Sensors and Modules — supports significantly more connected devices than the entry-level model.
• Web-Based Remote Access — reviews and adjusts settings from a browser, not just the touchscreen.
• Calendar Presets — schedules setting changes in advance around a grow cycle.

Who Should Use the HCS-2 Pro Controller

Growers managing larger or more equipment-dense single-zone rooms, or who want browser-based remote access in addition to on-device control, are the best fit for the HCS-2. It's the step up once a room's sensor and module count outgrows a smaller controller's capacity.

About TrolMaster

The HCS-2 sits at the top of TrolMaster's Hydro-X controller tier, built at the Sacramento, California company's headquarters for commercial-scale single-zone rooms that need more capacity and remote access than the base model provides. All three HCS controllers share the same modular device-station foundation, scaling up from there.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the HCS-2 differ from the entry-level model?

The HCS-2 has a larger 10 inch touchscreen, supports more sensors and modules, up to 50, and adds web-based remote access. The entry-level HCS-1 covers a smaller sensor and module count without browser access.

Can I access the HCS-2 from a computer?

Yes, the HCS-2 supports web-based remote access in addition to its touchscreen interface. That lets settings be reviewed without walking up to the physical unit.

What are calendar presets?

Saved setting configurations that can be scheduled in advance to activate automatically on specific dates. They're useful for planned changes across a grow cycle.

Is a sensor included with the HCS-2?

Yes, a 4-in-1 sensor measuring temperature, humidity, light, and CO2 is included. No separate sensor purchase is required to start monitoring.
