Let Your Pond Respond Before
You Have To.
The Mini Controller runs your rules locally, letting HydroNeo react automatically to changing pond conditions or to routines you set. Aerators, pumps, lights, and valves wired through a Motor Control Box can all be automated the same way. DO Support runs on the device itself; Schedule and Interval require IoT PLUS.
DO Support
Included on-deviceSet a DO level in ppm or % saturation. Equipment turns on and off automatically when that threshold is crossed. This rule runs on the Mini Controller Pro itself, with or without a cloud connection.
Schedule
IoT PLUSActivate automation at specific times of day, independent of sensor readings. Set it once, run it every day.
Interval
IoT PLUSAutomate equipment using repeating intervals you configure.
One Modular System.
Built Around Your Pond.
From sensors and controllers to motor automation, build the HydroNeo setup that fits your pond today and grows with your farm.

The Warning System
Behind Every Threshold.
You don't need to constantly watch the pond yourself.
HydroNeo tells you when something needs attention, and with IoT PLUS that notification reaches you within minutes of the event.
-
Threshold alerts
A monitored parameter moves outside the safe range you configured for that pond.
-
Sensor & equipment alerts
A sensor goes offline or unreachable, so a fault never quietly goes unnoticed.
-
How alerts reach you
With IoT PLUS, alerts land on your phone through FarmOS within the 2-minute connection cycle. With IoT CORE, critical events are reported at the next 4-hour sync. Local DO automation reacts on the controller itself and never waits for the cloud.
The Hardware Monitors and Reacts.
FarmOS Keeps You in Control.
Every controller and sensor on your farm appears in FarmOS, on your phone or in the browser, wherever you are.
-
Monitor live conditions
With IoT PLUS, connected sensor readings update in FarmOS every 2 minutes, with historical graphs behind them.
-
Configure automation
With IoT CORE or IoT PLUS, edit DO Support settings remotely in FarmOS. IoT CORE applies changes at the next 4-hour sync; IoT PLUS also adds Schedule and Interval automation with changes applied near real time.

Get alerts, control equipment
Push notifications when thresholds are crossed, and control of connected equipment from the app.

Mini Controllers Running
On Farms Around the World.
The Mini Controller Pro isn't confined to one region, it's already monitoring and automating ponds on farms across many countries, in a wide range of climates and species. Here's what a few of those farmers have to say.
I monitor oxygen 24/7 and use the automation feature for the aerator motors. I've used HydroNeo for 2 years now and my electricity bill reduced from 850 USD per month to approximately 490 USD per month per pond.
HydroNeo improved my farm management and reduced my electricity bills by over 30%. The real-time monitoring helps manage risks. I no longer worry about shrimp dying from insufficient oxygen. I can travel for many days without worries because I take care of my farm through the app.
HydroNeo is incredibly helpful in emergencies, like when oxygen drops at night without us knowing. The system notifies us through the mobile app, so we can take action immediately. Having HydroNeo is like having insurance for our farm.
I needed digital tools to assist with farm management. Then I discovered how much energy I could save with HydroNeo's automatic aerator control based on oxygen measurements. I now save an additional 170 USD per rai on my electricity bill every month.
At our stocking densities, oxygen is everything. There is no margin for error. HydroNeo lets me push intensification with confidence because I see DO live, all the time, on every pond. The automation responds before I even reach for the phone.
Shrimp farming used to be about feel and experience. With HydroNeo it has become a skill-driven, science-based practice. I make decisions on data, not on hope. The cycle-over-cycle improvements are visible in every report.
1,300 tests. That's how many times Aqua Pharma validated HydroNeo DO sensor accuracy before fully trusting HydroNeo data. The results from our Indonesia farm gave us full confidence that this system was built to a standard we could stand behind scientifically. What sealed it was HydroNeo's openness to improve alongside us throughout the entire testing process.
