So like many of you I use the inkbird temp controller (ITC-308). It would work fine in most scenarios but I have busted 2 of them now ever since upgrading my AC unit to a window unit. Maybe it's too much amperage when it kicks on? The controller stops turning on the AC a few months in.

Any other product suggestions that would work better with a window AC? I was thinking of a trolmaster controller but was unsure when reading the manual if those allow units like an AC or a dehu to just plug straight into it (from what i read it seems there is some wiring involved rather than just plug n play)? Didn't see any outlets on the photos or anything
