Chihiros Smart Power Strip

Wi-FiApp control

Not everything on an aquarium is app-controlled — yet. The Smart Power Strip brings your filter, mister, air pump and heater cable into the My Chihiros world: four sockets, each on its own relay and its own schedule, plus three USB-A ports on a shared switch, all timed to the second over Wi-Fi. Its aquarium-specific modes — misting bursts, circulation intervals, timed feeding cut-offs — are the kind of control a plug timer physically cannot do.

In detail

Four independently switched sockets and three USB ports with second-precise app timers — smart power for the non-smart gear.

Second-precise, socket by socket

Where mechanical timers think in minutes, the strip schedules to the second across five independent control groups — a 40-second misting pulse every two hours, a pump pause at feeding time, lights-linked switching. Each of the four sockets acts alone.

Modes made for aquariums

Interval, circulation and misting modes are built into the app, sized for the humidifiers, pumps and paludarium gear this strip was designed around. Quick scenes flip the whole tank between states in one tap.

Serious electrical backbone

Five quality relays (one per socket, one for the USB bank) switch up to 3 000 W total, and the 30 mm socket spacing means four fat adapters actually fit side by side. It joins your 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi directly — no hub required.

Frequently asked questions

Does the Smart Power Strip need the WiFi Hub Pro?

No — it joins your 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi directly and appears in the My Chihiros app on its own. It can participate in quick scenes alongside hub-connected devices.

How much load can it switch?

Up to 3 000 W in total across four independently relayed sockets, plus three USB-A ports sharing 30 W. The 30 mm socket spacing fits four fat adapters side by side.

What makes it better than a plug timer?

Second-level precision and aquarium-specific modes — misting bursts, circulation intervals, feeding pauses — across five independent control groups. A mechanical timer thinks in minutes and does none of that.

The smart ecosystem

One app. Your whole aquascape.

Chihiros gear is designed to work as a system — pair a device over Bluetooth, shape its schedule in the My Chihiros app, and add the WiFi Hub Pro when you want the whole tank in your pocket.

My Chihiros app

One free app runs the whole system over Bluetooth — dial in spectrum, brightness and daily light schedules with realistic sunrise and sunset ramps.

WRGB spectrum control

Red, green, blue and white channels adjust independently, so you can push plant colour, soften glare or match the look of your hardscape.

WiFi Hub Pro

Bridge your gear onto your home network and manage up to 20 Chihiros devices remotely — check schedules and tweak settings from anywhere.

One connected system

Lights, dosing pumps, CO2, heating and the smart power strip all speak the same language, growing with your aquascape one device at a time.
