> 3 dayA bit confusing on the instructions, and was off by about 6%, but get the right settings and youre golden. I used this for a 30 gallon crested gecko enclosure and it works perfectly. Keeps its settings after the power goes out.

> 3 dayI have never been one to rely on machinery to get the job done, but my oh my, this piece of device is revolutionary. Although it ONLY CONTROLS HUMIDITY, it has been a life saver for setting up microenvironments. Mine did not come super calibrated, but you can adjust the calibration by 10% in either direction and it seems to be pretty spot on. I definitely will be considering getting more InkBird products after noting how useful this equipment is.

> 3 dayI bought the humidifier controller for my grow tent where I am growing gourmet mushrooms. It has an outlet (Work1) for the humidifier and one (Work2) for either an exhaust fan or a dehumidifier. However, when the humidity reached the cut off point, the fan wouldnt kick in to lower the humidity, which just kept climbing until it reached the limit (99%) and then the alarm went off. I contacted Inkbird and when I explained the problem—without hesitation—they said they would sent me a new one, which I got today. Good customer service is almost obsolete these days, so I really appreciate Inkbird! Thanks. I hope this one works ok.

20-11-2024Definitely a game changer! Used for legal medical grow tent environment control along with humidifier/exhaust fan & it beats hanging wet towels every couple hours. 3 stars on accuracy because im not sure. I also use a simple digital temp/humidity gauge along with sensor supplied with this controller & theres variances between the two but I take into account the differences between the 2 devices. Which one is more accurate? I make it work. When things are leveled out they are pretty close.

> 3 dayIm so glad I bought this. The heating/cooling unit in my older condo doesnt have a built-in humidifier. So in cold/dry Minnesota winters, I need to manually add humidity. I prefer running a simple Vicks brand steam vaporizer. But several times I have accidently left the vaporizer on too long and my windows would fog up and drip condensation. This unit is great for automatically controlling the vaporizers operation. I simply set a desired humidity level and a variance factor. In my case a setting of 40% humidity with a variance of 3%. So when humidity drops below 37%, it turns on the vaporizer and keeps it on until humidity reaches the set goal. Ive had it running for a couple of months now with no problems. This unit has actually two outlets. One for controlling a humidifier and the second for controlling a dehumidifier. So Im actually only using half of its functionality.

> 3 dayDidnt have instructions. Had to search the deepest corners of the internet to find it. But YouTube saved me. Great product just needs instructions.

> 3 dayI bought this and a humidifier to upgrade my oyster mushroom growing setup. Compared to spritzing with a spray bottle throughout the day, this is luxury. I calibrated the sensor, along with a seperate hygrometer that records data logs, and everything seems to maintain humidity accurately. I kind of wish the alarm was louder. My setup is in the basement, so the alarm is probably fine for other situations. Other than the alarm volume, I have nothing but praise for the device. It does what I need, its not expensive, simple setup... I would definitely buy another Inkbird product.

> 3 dayDoes not work the best to measure humidity unless calibrated somewhat often & for sure not as user-friendly as advertised. It helps to watch youtube videos and third-party materials to figure out usage.

> 3 dayMy dehumidifier stopped reading the proper humidity and would never turn off. Instead of getting a new dehuey I got one of these and set it up to the range I wanted, and it works even better than before and Im now saving a little on my electric bill as its no longer running 24/7. Im not the smartest of men so I didnt fully understand all the settings but after toying around with it, I cant imagine not having it. Even if I have to get a new dehumidifier someday Ill probably still connect it to this thing.
