Question to any one who is using a normal inkbird humidity/ temp controllers that are sold on Amazon .witch one would b better to connect the exhaust fan to the temp control or the humidity one
I connect my exhaust fan to my temperature controller. If I need to change, I change the plugs. Here's a picture of the left side of my tent. For exhaust, I found a 120mm fan that has a variable speed controller (shown on the left side of the picture) that cost about $25 and works well with these controllers for a smaller tent.Question to any one who is using a normal inkbird humidity/ temp controllers that are sold on Amazon .witch one would b better to connect the exhaust fan to the temp control or the humidity one
In settings, there's an adjustment for how far from the set value the present value should be before the device is turned on or off. The difference values can be set for temperature or humidity level. The temperature settings are shown below.True na got mine on the temp control but himity keeps on and off. But the meter shows tent temp / himity is good just the humidity keeps on and off u know why it would do that did o set it wrong.
I am using an AC Infinity Controller 69 Pro with one tent and the Ink Bird controllers with another tent. I like both, but each has strengths and weaknesses. I have the IHC-200-WiFi. I chose that one because it's easier to configure with the phone app and I just like to use my phone to monitor the tents. I also have a sensor from another manufacturer that I use with the Ink Bird controllers because it reports VPD. Even though they're all in the same location in the tent, they never have exactly the same readings.Im having calibration issues with my inkbird ihc 200 so i might just look into the ac infinity controller if i cant resolve this issue.
The sensor is a wear item. Some models you can replace the probe.My controller was fine for a month after initial calibration of -9%. Then last night when i went in to foliar & it went crazy and hit 20% plus so did wet salt jar test through the night still showed high in the morning until i wiped it with a tissue and it settled at 66% exactly 9% that i took off initially. Recalibrated and as soon as it went back in the room it shot up 25% plus. Im basing this off my humidifier, digital hydrometer and analogue hygrometer all showing low 50s when this says 75.
I tried to dry it with heat from an radiator and a fan, not sure what else to do
How u recalibrate it and should I take off the sensor cover on the ink birdMy controller was fine for a month after initial calibration of -9%.

Thanks but I might just return and swap for an ac infinity controller. So far im not impressed with this brand, that includes after care. But if i do keep this would make sense to keep 2 sensors
