inkbird controller

[andy1985]

Hi I have some inkbird controller, i was wondering what is the most efficient way to set up the temperature range? Is it just to set the range for example just to go 26-27 or 24-27. So that the heaters are either on for short periods but more often or longer periods less often.

Kind Regards Andrew

Hi Andy. Between your choices, I would pic the greater range as the better choice, as the cycling of heaters on and off is what is said to be hard on them. With a greater range, there will be less cycling.

You can also run the inkbird in a different manner, whereby you let the heaters' own thermostat control the temp, and just have the heater set a couple of degrees higher as a failsafe, in case a heater gets stuck in the "on" position.....rather than have the inkbird control the on/off temps.

I have done both successfully.
