Inkbird Temperature and Humidity Controller ITC-608T Pre-Wired Dual Stage Thermostat 120VAC 15A 1800W ETL Listed Mushroom Greenhouse Homebrew

This controller is very easy to set up and use. I use it to control temperature and humidity in a small indoor greenhouse for mushrooms. Once you get the locations for the sensors it is a set & forget type of device, making things a lot easier. It allows you to glance at the display for current conditions while it controls the on/off operations as programmed.I recommend this product for anyone interested in an automated solution.

The product apparently offers a very limited interval between the temp at which the heater is turned on and the temp at which cooling is turned on. This might be fine for something that requires rigid temperature control. But for a standard greenhouse with veggies and flowers, it's absurd.Our heater came on during a nice pleasant day today. When I checked I found that it's because this controller has only a 3 degrees F spread below the temperature at which it turns off the cooling fan. That's unnecessary micromanagement of a greenhouse temperature.We need a controller with which we can turn the heat on at a low temp, to avoid freezing. And also turn on the cooling fan when it gets up to the 90s in there, to avoid damage. We're going to have to return this one. The product description isn't clear, and the instructions are no better.

I’ve been dry aging beef for a bit over a year but want to start curing meats in a controlled environment. I’ve been testing the unit before actually loading it with salami. So far it has done everything asked of it. The accuracy seems to be good and the compressor delay is nice. I’m hoping to update this with photos soon.

Bought the temp/humdity combo controller. Very functional and easy to understand the flowcharts, it can seem overwhelming at first. Play around with it before hooking it up to your final application; put the probes in different exposures (blowing on the humidity probe with a deep warm breath or lightly blowing will cause rH to up or down, respectively, likewise holding the temp probe or cooling it off in ice water). Mess around with it, you'll get it. Took me about an hour. It's well worth it. I intend to use the temp probe on work 1 to control a seedling mat while rH probe on work 2 will control a fan.

Fantastic product that was recommended by a friend. Has helped me significantly with controlling the temp of my new mushroom grow! Very easy to setup and fantastic product. Don't need to monitor my setup much anymore, saves me a ton of time and effort.

I previously used an Inkbird ITC-308 controller to regulate the temperature of my homebrew fermenters, and it worked great. However, I recently got a larger fermentation chamber, and coincidentally also happened to get into barrel-aging beers. I needed a new temp controller for the ferm chamber, so I decided to upgrade and go with the ITC-608T. While I don't need the full range of its capabilities just yet (I'm only using the temp control), it will be nice to be able to regulate humidity when it comes to extended barrel aging.I've had the regulator hooked up to my keezer/ferm chamber for a little while now and it's worked just as well as the ITC-308. If you're familiar with how Inkbird controllers work in general, you'll be right at home. If not, the user manual might be a little confusing (fairly broken English), but there are plenty of secondary resources around the web to help you out. Basically, just set a desired temp, the amount you want to let the temp fluctuate up and down, and (if you like) temps on both the high and low end where you want an alarm to go off, in case something goes awry. (One thing to note: Unlike more basic Inkbird controllers, the two AC outlets aren't labeled Heating and Cooling, but rather "Work 1" and "Work 2." Just remember that 1 = heat and 2 = cool.)Overall, I'm pleased. Inkbird makes reliable controllers and the price can't be beat. The build quality is also very nice on this unit: high-quality plastics and pleasantly tactile buttons.

This product does exactly what I wanted it to do. I was using a rheostat for temperature control but found I needed more precision. My humidifier was on a timer and again, I needed more precision. This item addressed both. It includes remote sensors that appear to be robust and a long power cord that has a reasonable chance of eliminating an extra extension cord. Configuration was straightforward. The display is large, readable from a distance, and indicates both the environmentals and the work status of the attached devices. The housing has both mount points for hanging on the wall and rubber nonslip feet for resting on a flat surface.This is not the cheapest option but it seems to be the right option if you need temp and humidity control in a reasonably priced quality controller. Assuming I dont have any device failures in the near future I'll be very happy with this purchase.The only feature I would have liked to see is the ability to set the range between the target temp and trigger temp. It may even have this and I just haven't understood the instructions.Wish List: If there had been the same model with one or two "through" power ports I'd have bought that model just to eliminate the need for an additional power strip.For ex: Work 1, Work 2, 110v, 110vBut this is a would be nice and in no way detracts from what I bought.

The temperature and humidity controller by Inkbird is easy to use and is constructed very well. The probes seem to be of good quality. The instruction manual is a bit lengthy, but all the details are accurate, and the controller is very easy to set up. Great controller for the money! Loved my first one so much I bought another!

I got this controller to automate the different stages of fermentation temperatures for my fermentation chamber. After some testing, I'm impressed with this temperature controller. The ITC-608T looks like it is going to be especially helpful for making lagers. One possible example: Ferment at 12C for 5 days, then increase the temperature to 21 C for a diacetyl rest for 2 days, then decrease to 1 C for cold crashing and hold for 21 days. With the 12 stages you could hold the temperature at some value between each fermentation temperature in the previous example for some period of time if desired. This is a good plug and play temperature controller, I recommend it.

This took a bit of trial and error to program, but once done it is working very well. The instructions are not very clear about what to do. When entering the programming mode by pressing the button for more than 2 seconds you have the choice of H or t, if you choose t, then the value will be to control the temperature and if choosing H, then it will be for the humidity. The rest is clear enough. Both probes are working well and seem precise and fast to update. I use it with a reptile fogger to add a constant humidity in my small grow tent for my seedlings and it work perfectly so far. I am glad I bought it because it makes everything automatic, the fan and the fogger.

Excellent controller, does the job reliably. Only thing would be if you want to use it as a humidity and temperature controller i would recommend buying second unit with temp only, as when you plug both humidity and temperature probes in you loose some of the more advance features on the unit. I ended up buying the temperature only model also for that reason, and it gave my more options for controlling green house environment.

I am a pretty active "maker" with a lot of projects underway at any given time. This dual-purpose humidity/temperature system (there are options for dual purpose, multiple outlet single purpose, single outlet, etc. so pick the right one) is well built and works very well with pretty good accuracy for most needs (greenhouse, grow house, cheese making, beer brewing/fermenting, or temperature control for resin setting, etc.) The control interface on the other hand is not particularly intuitive. It definitely *works* but don't lose the instruction manual that has the menu flow of the options and how to set high/low values for each probe. I'd suggest downloading the online manual and saving to google drive / dropbox or emailing it to yourself -- two years from now you are going to want it!

This is an awesome little gadget I bought another one that cost me almost $450 and it was so complicated to use I never did figure it out so I purchased one of these and it’s game on this is a beautiful little piece of equipment you will not be disappointed I’m using it in a grow tent to control temperatures it and turns on my exhaust fans when needed and heat when needed with a 3° variance in between bravo
