ITC-308 Digital Temperature Controller 2-Stage Outlet Thermostat Heating and Cooling Mode Carboy Homebrew Fermenter Greenhouse Terrarium 110V 10A 1100W

great product. it works just as advertised. a lot of adjustments can be made, and the smartphone app can make all of them remotely, its super convenient. only a few minor things that i believe could be made better. 1. while the device WILL connect to google home and register as a device, google home has litterally no control over it, or ability to tell what the temperature is. since you can just use the inkbird app (or tuya app) this is really a nonissue. just a suggestion really. 2. the increments of time are quite broad. its not possible to have it log the temperature every minute in history, i believe it only logs every 15 minutes. IT DOES REPORT LIVE AND CONSTANTLY, UPDATING IN MERE SECONDS VIA LIVE VIEW IN THE APP, it is constantly updating and providing a realtime temperature in the app however it only logs the temperature and stores it once every 15 minutes. if it could be changed to log temperature every minute as an option that would be useful. again just a suggestion. its not really that helpful for anything, i just like to see everything going on. 3. upon changing any settings on the temperature controller it automaticly assumes that it needs to start either A cooling or B heating if the temperature isnt exactly what the set temperature is at. also sort of a non issue since once it reaches the temperature it reverts to normal operation, meaning the temperature differential, or the setting that adjusts how far from the set temperature it can change before enabling or disabling the cooling or heating system, once temperature is reached after setting a setting in the app or on the controller, works perfectly fine. however if you just want to adjust it so it 1 degree higher in the cooling differential, if you adjust it so it has a 5 degree cooling deviation instead of four, if the temperature is, lets say 78 instead of 75, although its only a 3 degree difference, since you just set the setting it automatically assumes that the temperature needs to be adjusted until it is at the correct temperature before starting operation normally. (just being clear) this is a setting i would want to have an adjustment on. like "restart device upon changing settings? yes or no" then if no is selected, when temperatures are changed if its still within range itll turn off. an example of how this would be useful is if you wanted to adjust the cooling differential higher so the cooling switch turns off, it will ironically turn it on upon making the change, which will immediately have the opposite effect as intended, until it reaches the set temperature, then will use the input settings and resume normal operation. this is the only issue i could see potentially being problematic if you have this placed somewhere with frequent power fluctuations, because when the device restarts it also does just this. checks the temperature and then goes "is it the exact set temperature? no because its off by .1? turn on the heating or cooling." again, just a small pet peeve, not a major issue, but this could be problematic as a UPS battery backup would likely not be able to power any real kind of cooling device and a high power relay of some sort would have to be used to allow power for any high consumption devices to be drawn from elsewhere and the temperature controller to be the only thing drawing power from the ups. that way when the power returns on the temperature sensor never turned off and does not restart. overall i woudl give 4.5 stars if i could because realisticly this is the only product on the market with these features in general, the features being wifi connectivity and the ability to just plug whatever you want into the controller and control both heating and cooling from the same device, as to save power. just my two cents :)

Works great, easy to setup and use. configurable for 'F or 'C. I like the separate AC outlets on a dongle, but I wonder about the maximum load current capacity of the wiring. I've got a couple 200 watt grow lights and a 600/1500 watt space heater I run to grow tomatoes indoors during the winter. These would overload. I had been using a combo timer/switch with temperature control but after a few months this heavy load killed it. That worked for a while and then it's dinky power switch (relay) quit. So I found this Inkbird and ordered one. I'm sure it would do the job -for a while. As soon as I got it I noticed its quality. So I opened it up. It was an easy do. These days you can tell quality simply by seeing electronic components that have their markings still on the chips. -china removes these markings, but Taiwan and others do not. The Inkbird had all its markings and actually uses a rather powerful microprocessor to facilitate the control process. It remembers its settings when power off and that is an important feature. Very well. Since the last gadget died because of its relay failure, I decided to amp this up a bit. [pun intended] When your crop is dependent on not freezing to death -I hate failures. so.. The Inkbird uses a pair of relays -one for cooling and one for heating. These are separate from each other and rated for 15 amp 120 volt loading. Again, for a while... relays suffer horribly short lives when loaded to the max and cycling on/off many times as a thermostat will do. Then my epiphany.. A trick I use, is to construct a plug-in service box wired with 20 amp 120V grounded sockets, and with a solid-state relay, capable of at least 20 amps AC at 120V. I also use a 16 gage [or more] 3 wire power cord into this box. For extra credit, I use an expensive 'zero-crossing' type solid state switch (SSR). These run a bit hot when powering a 15+ Amp load so I add a big heat sink to the 'SSR' to help extend its life. This type of SSR uses a DC control (one/off) voltage between 3 and 35Vdc, so I add a small 12VDC wall-wart to switch the SSR, and let the Inkbird only power the wall-wart which in turn operates the SSR, which is very low wattage and thus a very light load on the relays inside the Inkbird. Note that this SSR box will operate a window AC as well. Add one of those Kill-A-Watt monitors and you can track the voltage, power and expense of your rig.

Using for Kegerator temperature regulation, as my Insignia would initially only get down to about 39 to 42F. First, I found a set screw on the thermostat in back. Removed plastic housing around thermostat. Turned screw counter clockwise multiple times. This made it too cold, and rather than being careful and doing it slowly, figured it's best to have an actual regulator! Now I have the keg plugged into the regulatory, plugged into the wall. Set at 37 degrees with the probe sitting in cup of water on top of keg. 37 because at the bottom of the kegerator will likely be about 32 then, so the temp difference won't lead to freezing hopefully. Works great and easy.

Muy buen precio y buena calidad 👌

I have used the ITC 308 for years and found it to be extremely reliable, this WiFi version seems to be identical as the original making me think that it will also be reliable. It is extremely easy to set up using the App and the WiFi makes monitoring your beer and adjusting the temperature extremely convenient from your phone. I'm looking forward to continue using this for many brews. Cheers

Excelente termostato, controla con gran precisión la temperatura, empata con el termómetro digital y solo muestra una ligera diferencia en centésimas de grado, está muy bien construido su cable es de buena calidad, complementando con un buen calentador y buenos ventiladores mantienes tu NANO MARINO al 100% en cuanto a temperatura.

Realiza o que promete, tive dificuldade para iniciar o funcionamento, manual não é didático.

Cumple muy bien la función para la que fue creado el producto. Yo los uso en pecera, fácil de configurar, si se te complica la configuración busca videos en youtube.
