20 Best Thermostat For Reptiles (2022 Updated)

Changing the temp is pretty clunky, you have to totally cycle through the temperature settings and start over if you want to make the temperature lower. The light on the digital display is also pretty bright and cannot be turned off.

This may bother your pet at night, or bother you if it’s in a bedroom. I had to make a cardboard sleeve to slip over the display at night to keep the light out. Other than those inconveniences, it works fine.

I like that it has a setting for an alarm if the temperature falls too low or high. Overall a decent product with a few inconveniences that keep me from really recommending it.

I’ve tried 3 different thermostats and this one is by far the best one for my U. T. H based on clear readout, easy to use, and very accurate. It’s for a Ball Python enclosure and I do put the probe under ReptiChip substrate and I get a much more accurate reading for surface temps than on the outside bottom between pad and glass.

Plus, not so hot on bottom glass and this 1 year juvenile stays under substrate A LOT!. I have the pad always at 84*F (~+/- 2*F) so at night the coldest it will be is 80* (with 2 inches of substrate) and the during day under hide inside temps reach 87*F – 92*F.

Minor complaints are the tape will stay about 3-4days before unit flops off and I wish there was a down button for temp setting and I didn’t have to cycle through highest temp to reset. I’m still going to give it 5 stars though as this is best most accurate one I’ve tried and beats Zilla and iPower thermostats for U.

T. H temp regulation. PS. Give it about 1 week to let heat radiate through all the surrounding substrate for more accurate readings if using a wet bark substrate like ReptiChip.

The LED light is really bright, which is not ideal for my nocturnal pet hedgehog. Also adjusting the temperate is frustrating. If you need to lower the temp from 80 to 79, you have to go up to 115 something, and all the way through 50 back up to 79.

Additionally, each time you press the button to raise the temp, it makes a loud beep. The last part I did not enjoy was the thermometer cable, it is very thin, and where it is placed. I know it’s going to break right off or be bent too many times and stop working.

If not for those things mentioned above, it keeps the temperature really well, but just too frustrating to make it something I could recommend.

The controller arrived on time and as promised. I’m using it with a 20 inch box fan as a temperature controlled window fan. I’ve had it running for about a month now. The device is easy to setup, with an LED display for the temperature.

The cord to power and the cord to the temperature sensor is plenty long and has a suction cup for placing on a smooth surface like a window. It has a grounded plug for safety. It remembers the temperature you set, even if you unplug it.

I needed both a heater and cooling controller when we moved out tortoise outside in a new house. I thoroughly tested both before installing them. They are both working excellent. The heater kicks on at 67 degrees, which is every night, and the cooling controller turns on a fan when the temperature inside the tortoise ‘s house gets to 89 degrees, which has only been a few times during the heat of the day.

The fan draws almost no power and is not an issue. The heater controller has 2 ceramic heat emitters and a warming mat. Combined they are well within the wattage can handle. I highly recommend the product.

On April/May I will be needing an additional set of controllers for another tortoise and if will definitely be coming back to Century for both of them.

I’ll try and keep it short and sweet. I love this thermostat. The dimming function is exactly what you need if you are using a deep heat projector. The temperature is fairly accurate (within 1/2 degree or less from other thermometers).

The ONLY thing that is a pain in the a$$ is the dial you use to change the time/temp. you either need a longer nail or perhaps a flathead screwdriver to turn it. It’s a pretty bad design flaw but not bad enough to drop it down a star.

because once you set it, you don’t need to mess with that dial again (unless you want to adjust the temp/time again for some reason). Just an FYI. there is no alarm on this thermostat.

Quickly dispatched and the product is excellent quality. So good I ordered a 2nd

No problems arrived as expected

This thermostat was recommended by my local HVAC professional. He was right. The best feature is the simplicity of design and function. It is lightning fast to change the temperature, which we do often.

A programmable thermostat may be good for some, but if you’re changing the temperature in different zones, then this is for you! Also, we have a single zone AC thermostat that we use during the summer, so we didn’t need a combination AC/Heat thermostat.

You’ll be very pleased with the ease of installation and performance of this product.

I’ve had this for 2 winters now. It works great. It has a simple 2 wire hookup. I did take the opportunity to move the thermostat from over the dining room bench to the hallway. I would really recommend this to anyone with an RV who wants a simple heat only thermostat.

Edit 3/11/17: I installed mine in an RV. I really like it because of the accuracy and also due to the fact that I moved the thermostat from right next to an outside wall to an inside wall when I put this in.

However, my batteries don’t last very long. This might be due to the fact that the RV is unheated most of the time. So when I go to it and it’s been sitting in 15 or 20 degree weather for two weeks I almost always have to pull the cover off and either replace the batteries or pull the batteries out and rotate them.

I’ve bought an external battery holder that I’m going to wire into the thermostat and see if that makes my set up easier. Other than the battery issue I do love the accuracy of the thermostat.

Order product based on feedback and research. Installed Sensi Touch Wif-FI Thermostat based on Emerson website and followed instructions. Once installed ONLY the fan would run, compressor would not start, no cold air.

Called tech support located in the Philippines, man stated he was trained HVAC technician. Per his request I sent him pictures of my thermostat wiring before I removed, he had change some settings in the advance settings with the heat pump valve, still no cold air.

Then he had me jump 3 low voltage wires off the thermostat using a wire nut, then 4 wires using, still not cold air. He said I would need to call a HVAC professional for my DIY project. I said I would just removed the Sensi WI-FI Thermostat and return it and put my old thermostat back on the wall and he said it would not work.

I said, I’m sure it will, my HVAC system was running an hour ago with the thermostat I just took off the wall. He said, the old thermostat will not work. He was RIGHT whatever the Sensi Thermostat, advance setting changes to heat pump valve, and hot wiring my system prevents my compressor for starting.

I have called Sensi Touch Wi-Fi (Emerson) customer service/tech support twice and still waiting for a manager to call me back. So now, I waiting for a local HVAC repair company to show up to get my HVAC system up an running, spent all weekend in Florida with NO air conditioning.

This replaced a 21 year old Honeywell Programmable thermostat that quit working. I like the large easy to read display and the simplicity of a non-programmable thermostat. The wife likes it also. It seems to hold a good steady temperature.

This is an easy installation if the existing thermostat wires are properly marked. The Honeywell 50002883-001 cover plate assembly adds a nice touch to the wall mount. It has tested out fine on both the central a/c and the oil-fired boiler.

Fast shipping also!.

THANK YOU! Only the outer casing is what needed to be replaced. The previous owner was so rough with it, that the heater could no longer be adjusted. Now, for installation, your phone crew was awesome and helpful, but had I known what kind of a system we had in our condo complex I would not have had to call a repair company.

But when he corrected me on the heating system we had, I knew instantly the simple adjustment I needed to make in the settings, and it was fixed – no more issues. It still was less costly to fix in the long run.

Thank you. Wish I would have fixed it sooner.

My wife and I decided to replace our programmable thermostat with a non-programmable one. The old one was a Honeywell (model TH6220D1028) so we looked for one that physically matched it to make installation easier.

Honeywell recommended this model. Sure enough, it was easy to install as the mounting holes were in the identical places and the unit covered the same area of the wall so we didn’t need to use a separate back plate or repaint the wall behind the unit.

It took no more than 5 minutes to unpack the new one and replace the old one. Set up was straightforward as well. This thermostat is as easy to operate as you’d expect. Four buttons. Fan: on or automatic, System: heat on or off, and Up and Down to set the desired temperature.

The displayed numbers are large and easy to read and backlighting makes it easy when it’s dark. This is unit is a pro model and comes with a 5 year warranty. The regular retail version comes with a 1 year warranty.

The Honeywell website says this should be installed by an HVAC contractor. I had read some reviews that said Honeywell wouldn’t honor the warranty if installed by a retail customer so I also asked them about this.

I was told that that used to be the case, but since these are now sold through retail channels, they would honor the warranty.

Works perfectly to keep the temperature levels you set for Heat mode and Cool mode. Then you just walk away and enjoy it. No busy fiddly “programming” for hours, just set the temperatures you want and enjoy.

The physical size is about the same as the old “programmable” unit, which never seemed to remember the settings, for the temperature, for the time window, for the day, for the heat or cold, for. Enough! Worse, the “programmable” unit did not know how to switch between Heat and Cool on its own! This one does! If you like fiddling around with a “programmable” thermostat, or having to manually select Heat or Cool, this isn’t for you.

This is literally “set it and forget it”. A masterpiece of climate-control engineering.

This thermostat is about useless for homeowners who wants to change their old thermostats to a new programmable one you can’t mount them to your walls without having to buy a mounting plate at an extra cos? We just bought two of these thermostats 5-2 DAY PROGRAMMABLE THERMOSTAT RTH6360 5-2 DAY PROGRAMMABLE THERMOSTAT to change our old ones out but we couldn’t mount them do to no mounting bracket or plate.

So we had to take them back and get our money back wasn’t to happy about wasting gas to have to take them back? plus you have to pay extra money for the brackets to mount them? If Honeywell had any brains they would at least put the bracket in their thermostat boxes to give the homeowners who have older thermostats in their homes the option to be able to change to the new programmable ones without having to pay extra money for the bracket.

We liked the thermostat but couldn’t use it so very disappointed with Honeywell.

I was looking to replace a very old mercury type thermostat on a hydronic in floor system which is a low voltage type system. Gives me. 5 degree control which makes a difference. I can program this, see the set temp and the actual temp as well as know which zone is on.

Initial programing requires you to know a little bit about your heating system but wasn’t to hard. All I had was 2 wires so connecting it was simple. Turn power off before starting install and remember to install batteries, Very happy, I have a much better looking thermostat that provides me with much more control and info than the basic mercury switch and because I got it on sale it was about the same price as the simpler type controllers.

It should be noted this NOT for baseboard type heating systems.

Using primarily online videos from variety of users, the thermostat was replaced with no problem. Also, I talked with a hardware store electronics person. Then, easily using a flathead screwdriver to separate the unit from the ‘wall-plate’ was very helpful.

Finally, bending the wires to accommodate the unit that runs vertically as opposed to horizontally was the final discovery needed to succeed. In summary, when contacting ‘Honeywell’ for assistance, a simple conversation would have helped; instead, I was transferred to a commercial vendor which would charge for consultation.

I did not use them. Notably, it required a bit of force to separate the wall plate, as well as slightly bending cold wires.

My husband raved about the features on this thermostat but I did not want a “learning” or Wi-Fi enabled unit since we’re home all the time and it’s simply overkill and they’re often rife with issues.

Twice now in the past 6 months the thermostat has gone into hold temp and recovery mode with no way to disengage it while furnace forced into limbo and no air movement. Other than taking panel off and replacing the 4 AA batteries.

Then poof, it started to work again. This is the first tstat I’ve ever had to replace batteries so often for and I looked after all of the ones in my old office space, those were 2 AA’s maybe once every year or more (also programmed all of those commercial units so I’m not a noob).

This unit having 4 batteries PLUS a CR cell battery I couldn’t even figure out how to get to leads me to believe this is NOT for DIY use The only people who seem to rave about this thing are HVAC pros so I will leave it to them to have their love affair with it, I’ve since bought a simple non-Wi-Fi unit that husband will install when weather gets a bit warmer soon.

For average folks like us who don’t need a learning tstat with vacation modes or Wi-Fi this unit proved to just have too many bells and whistles (probably why it uses so many batteries and maybe why they drained so fast) and I can only see this thing useful if one of the people who live in the house works in HVAC.

We had a new heat pump installed four days ago. This thermostat was installed by them as part of our purchase of the heat pump. We had the choice of getting the thermostat by itself, or getting it with RedLINK.

We chose RedLINK because we thought it would be convenient to use our phones, or other devices, to control the temperature or change the schedule. I’m giving it two stars because when it works, it works fine.

However, the thermostat has lost WiFi connection at least once every day since it was installed. Before someone gets the idea that we have a poor connection, or that the thermostat is far away from our router, we do not, and it is not.

Our WiFi connection is very strong, and we never have issues with any other devices in the house. The thermostat is 15 feet away from the router, which has the RedLINK connected to it even closer to the thermostat.

The RedLINK loses it’s connection, which causes an issue with the thermostat that we can’t live with. When it loses its connection, it automatically goes into recovery mode and sets the temperature to 75 degrees.

Where we live, this would be a giant electric bill in the summer when we need the air conditioning the most. Luckily, I’m working from home, and can fix this by resetting the RedLINK when this happens.

I worry, though, that if we aren’t home, this could happen and have our air conditioning running constantly until we’re back home to fix it. As soon as we can afford it, we’re replacing this with a smart thermostat that will work consistently.

Waterfurnace Geothermal – Downstairs 3/2 – Upstairs 2/2 2 Thermostats / 2 Indoor sensors / 1 outdoor sensor Our original thermostats were very poorly placed. I wanted remote sensor functionality without the worries of having our devices exposed to the Internet and Google or Amazon’s invasive data collection.

Setup is straightforward and relatively easy, IF you have some basic understanding of the equipment and the terminology. These ARE dealer grade thermostats, after all. So if you don’t know what you’re doing call a pro.

Don’t blame Honeywell for not being YOUproof. Bottom line – A great solution for non-web based wireless thermostat relocation. If they offered a Redlink handheld remote, that would be perfect!.

I made it through Hurricane Ian, lost power, cable, and cell service. All service came back on this morning after being out for 4 days. And now my air conditioner will not turn on!! I’ve had the cable co.

reboot my wifi connection, I’ve turned my breaker off and on, removed the cover of the thermostat, searched forever online both the Honeywell website and U Tube for a solution and there is none! I called the 800 number and got a recording to call back during business hours! The Visionpro 8000 help line was not helpful.

It did not show a thermostat like mine! My HVAC company located in Ft. Meyers has been devastated, few staff and no gas for their trucks! They can’t get to me for maybe 7-15 days. If I had the old fashioned analog thermostat, I would be back in business.

I HATE THIS THERMOSTAT! and the Honeywell help line and website.

Because I really like them, this is my second LuxPRO PSD010BF. The first one was used to replace the analog thermostat in a pop-up tent trailer which had about 7 (or more) temperature swing between turning the furnace on and shutting off.

The LuxPRO adjusted that swing to about 1-2 swing, which helps keep a more constant comfortable temperature, uses less battery and propane to work the furnace. This second thermostat is replacing the analog thermostat in our new travel trailer.

Super pleased with this model as I was looking for the smallest digital thermostat footprint. It’s also nice because it shows what the current room (camper) temp is and illuminates when a button is pushed, which is excellent at night.

Super easy and obvious to turn it on and off or auto, really takes the guesswork out of operating it.

Good value. Easy to install. Works and looks good. Max temp setting is a nice feature. Hard to find battery-powered thermostats anymore. We have a few of these to operate overhead gas heaters in our gym.

I bought this as a replacement for an old Honeywell round mercury thermostat that went bad. Have used for two months. Its being used as a heat only unit. Basically I needed a little zone thermostat to turn off and on accurately when heat was called for.

This is exactly that. The accuracy is within. 5 degrees. I compared it against a thermopro thermometer for about a week. When set at 67 it holds it very close and the display reads either 67 or 68. The other thermometer confirmed that.

The bottom line is-Temp is even and performs very well. A good value for the price. 5 stars.

I wish I could still return this product. The sensor stopped working after a few months. It would register any temp as 75F. I’m lucky I caught this early on or it would have cooked my beardie

No matter what temp I set this to, it always fluctuates 1 degree below, and then 2 degrees above (totaling a 4 degree shift in temps, constantly). Sometimes it will shoot 3 or 4 degrees past set temps.

On top of that It makes a loud “click” everytime it turns on or off, which has become extremely annoying.

This is a great thermostat to use for hobby snake keepers, it won’t break the bank and can control 1000w. I have a rack with 10 snakes and heat tape that only reaches 500w and this runs it great. Easy to use and read and accurate within reason to ambient room temperature.

Firstly, let me say that you will not find the features available on this thermostat on ANY other in its price point. That said, there are features on this thermostat that arent really explained that is important to reptile keepers.

The most important is the fact that it can be set up to 140 degrees or so. Now, before you freak and say youd never need that high of temps. This feature comes in handy in snake racks. Snake racks have a long strip of heat tape that winds its way around many levels to heat the underneath sides of the tubs within.

So, instead of placing the probe in a tub to monitor temperature, we place them directly onto the tape itself. Keep in mind that the tape may need to be upwards of 120 degrees to heat the tubs and substrate to low 90s.

Many thermostats, especially hydroponic thermostats (which, incidentally are around this price point for a good one) will not read that high and so are pretty useless for snake racks. The draw back to using this probe in this way is that you have no day/night differential.

So youd obviously set both day and night temps to the same setting to keep a constant hot spot for your snakes. Another great feature is the pulse proportional mode. This is the absolute best way to keep consistent temperatures.

So if you have a very specific temperature range that need concise and precice control, this is your mode. Incubators, for instance would benefit greatly from pulse proportional control, as the t-stat will not drive the temp up several degrees past prime and shut off until temps fall back down several degrees past prime the other way before turning the heating device back onessentially creating a consistently inconsistent four plus degree variant.

About the only feature this doesnt have that the ones used by professionals does, is the alarms for problems that may occur with power issues or faulty heating devices. And, lets face it, alarms can be had for far less and can be placed in many different areas within a vivarium or rack.

And, if youre around to hear the alarm, youll probably have noticed a power outage and will be scrambling to react to that while cursing the alarm thats stating the obvious. Also, if youre intending to heat multiple heat sources, you will have to buy multiple thermostats.

If you buy one of the more expensive, professional thermostats, you can run as many as 6 devices with only one thermostat. This can be good and this can be bad, depending on how you look at it. If the device fails, all six racks are done.

If your six racks are heated and controlled with separate thermostats, you could divide your tubs so that you can place the snakes whose rack is dead into another rack for as long as it takes to remedy the problem.

On the other hand, having multiple racks ran from one thermostat is a remarkably lean and clean way to roll. And if a spare is available, you do not need to topsey turvee the racks; you simply plug you spare in and connect the probes already in place into the working thermostat.

All in all, this thermostat is impossible to beat at this price point and, frankly, unless youre way more than a hobbyist who has hundreds of specimens for which to care, these thermostats will work extremely well.

And, you can buy a spare and still be money ahead.

We bought the Exo Terra thermostat 600w to help give our terrarium more constant temp. We use it to regulate a Ceramic heat bulb for extra heat to maintain day temps. It is easy to set desired temps with the dial.

It has a great display that is nicely visible from across the room. It has separate night and day temp programming which is extremely helpful for our geckos. We are able to achieve more constant temps and avoid big spikes from hot to cold.

My only knock on this thermostat is that it uses a light sensor to tell when it is daytime not a clock or timer. So you need a light source to tell it when it is daytime. This is fine if you have a basking species but not a nocturnal one.

The photo sensor in the temp probe is not sensitive enough to pick up natural daylight. We added a small desk clamp lamp with a low wattage bulb with a timer and we have achieved perfect environmental temps.

I love the day/night temp programming functions, great display and overall look of the unit. It is well worth the money spent. If i had a basking species I would give this 5 stars. The photo sensor issue is the only concern we had.

I would still recommend this product to help keep your terrariums at a constant temp.

This is a great budget thermostat for a terrarium. Their are better one out there but for the price it really is a great item. You can only hook one heater to it however unless you by a multi outlet plug from a hardware store.

I currently use it with a ceramic nano heater and it keeps the temperature near perfect. The temp gage wire is a bit thick: about like an extension cord. However, I do believe it is water proof.

Same functions as with the one I replaced. Was hoping to not have to change the mounting plate but this new version is somewhat different and you need to change over the mounting plate to the new one included with the unit.

Not a big deal. The 4 wires go to the same terminals identified by letters. Just take a picture of the old wiring before you switch so you keep track of what goes where. Arrived fast!.

I needed this pad for a dough starter to be able to maintain the temperature as it ferments at 104 degrees for 24 hours. The thermostat was set to 104 but it never went higher than 70! I am not sure if it was defective or what.

I tried to call the number but nobody answered.

Bought this for my 40 gallon terrarium. Keeps the cage nice and warm for my baby bearded dragon. I like that the digital thermostat came with it so that I can control how high the temperature of my tank can get while I’m away from home.

We don’t have central air in my house during the summer. Perfect for a reptile as long as it doesn’t get too hot. I just stuck it to the side of my tank rather than underneath.

Heat for my birds!! I have hummingbirds all winter, and sometimes, it freezes at night. I’ve wrapped this little heater around my hummingbird feeder, secured it with rubber bands, and plugged it in. It keeps the syrup warm, and my hummers use it as soon as they get up! I bought the second one for the front of the house.

Go outside when it’s freezing??? Nope!! Not necessary! Awesome product!.

We bought one for our first home because the electric company was offering a rebate and we wanted to make our home a little smarter. We did like it, but beware that your local HVAC person hates these things.

It was easy enough to install that we did it ourselves with no issues. However, these do not use/require your “c” (common) wire. What does that mean? Instead of providing continual, low voltage power, without the common your system takes a big gulp of power when starting up your heating/cooling.

The ease of controls were nice and I liked that I could monitor and control the temperature from my phone (for my pets) while away at work. What I did NOT like was the “away” setting itself. Basing on your phones location, it goes into either eco or the minimum/maximum temperatures that you set but their is not a lot of leeway to choose those.

For example, we went on vacation so no one’s phone was near the house but we had the pets there and a sitter coming 3x a day to check on them. Our setting was 68 at all times. Because of “away” mode, the sitter informed us our thermostat was reading 80 now – no good, especially in Louisiana because of the heat and humidity! The system was working fine, it just sensed that we were away and wasnt running (trying to save energy?) to maintain temperature settings.

It would also start these “energy saving campaigns” on its own and ignore its settings and just stay at eco all the time at some times. It ended up adding a small bit value to our home when we sold the house, so thats a plus but we don’t necessarily miss it.

We didn’t see a significant amount of savings on our electricity. I would like to try another smart style thermostat in our new home but maybe not the smartest one that is programmed to outsmart you and thinks it knows best.

I bought this unit to upgrade from Gen 2 because it can both make use of the sensors and it has dual-band WiFi for a stronger signal. It was very easy to install, it looks great, and it’s very intuitive to use, either on the wall, with your phone, or via a voice assistant.

I’ll ding it a little bit because the sensor schedule—that is, when the device can be told to use which sensor—can’t be customized. You have 4 pre-set blocks to choose from, and that’s it. But then the trouble started.

First I got a dreaded W5 error, meaning it’s WiFi radio was no longer working. I contacted Google for a replacement, which arrived promptly… but it kept getting caught in a boot loop and I couldn’t set it up.

A second replacement arrived and wouldn’t correctly read my (very straightforward!) wiring, despite the fact that the one with the W5 error still could. The third replacement had the same issue, at which point I was advised to spend $130 to have a technician inspect my system to verify it was in fact the thermostat that wasn’t working.

So after 6 total hours on the phone with customer support and HVAC technicians, and 3 replacement thermostats, I finally got my fourth one: an ecobee. I had it on and functioning in 20 minutes. My experience is probably very far outside the norm.

I most likely just had a run of bad luck; I know when I see reviews like this for something I have maybe already talked myself into, I think, “ah but that’s just one guy; he’s unlucky or he did something wrong; that won’t happen to me.

” And it probably won’t! But given the sheer number of issues I encountered—from failing components to annoying limitations to inept and sometimes contradictory customer support (who, at the end of the day, are call-center employees and decidedly *not* HVAC technicians)—I’d urge you to strongly consider other smart thermostats.

This one is just not worth the risk or the headaches.

This thermostat looks nice, better than any other thermostat. The installation and general setup is OK, it takes about about 30 minutes if all wiring is there. It also easily integrates with Samsung SmartThings v2.

But the functionality is not as advanced as for instance Ecobee’s. The occupancy sensor in Nest thermostat is pretty much useless. I was home moving around, and the Nest thermostat would switch to Away state thinking that there is noone home.

The remote sensor that came with it does not have an occupancy detection, so all you can count on for occupancy detection is really the smartphones of the people that live in the house, which is not a really nice way of detecting home occupancy.

If you have multiple sensors in the house you only can pick one at the time to regulate on its measure temperature, there is no possibility of averaging in this thermostat. Also, the history view is really poor for Nest, Ecobee did a much better job on this.

And if you download the history data from the website, the status data is in JSON format and it is impossible to interpret. Also, the deadbands are not adjustable for Nest, at least I could not find it.

I did not try its learning feature myself since it already had a lot of negative comments. So, I think if one wants to buy a nice stylish looking thermostat for a very basic use, Nest Learning Thermostat is a very good choice.

But if one wants a highly customizable thermostat which one can also regularly monitor and adjust, then there are better choices , like Ecobee.

Nice long leads for temperature sensor and power supply, the power socket lead is a quite short and stiff, so it influences the very light control box when fixing it in place, both have screw head slots on their backs for fixing to a wall or board though; I used velcro because I’m not set on it’s placement yet.

Temperature sensitivity can be dialled down to 0. 3 deg C. So if you set it at 25. C. it will allow temp to drop to 24. 7 C before turning on heater. you can set an over temp alarm to whatever you like.

It is working faultlessly keeping my aquarium the correct temperature. I’m not using the cooler facility so can’t comment on that.

Were having great trouble with a drinks fridge keeping temperature without freezing. Set this up (about 5 minutes) and now the temperature is really well controlled. Saved 300. 00 on getting a new fridge.

Excellent product, can’t recommend more highly. A sceptic is convinced!.

Use YouTube to set up as included instructions vague. Once in operation it has proved to be excellent the greenhouse temperature never falls below the 4. 5c needed for my tender plants and it always powers off at 5.

5c. Happy plants.
