    Might be made in the same place, but the quality of parts, manufacturing and checks are a lot different.

    I really like this idea.
    Would you please share your where you purchased your controllers? I have had a look and I can only find one source, but I would really appreciate any other options you may know of.

    PS if you are desperate ... I use loads of sonoff ... like https://www.netram.co.za/search?search_query=sonoff

    Like a Sonoff TH16 paired with a Sonoff Temp Sensor-DS18B20

    Plugged it back in on 36 Degrees a few weeks back

    Does a good job at keeping things stable if you look at how I used it to control the 300Watt Eheim on it.

    Thanks, Ferdie! I'll definitely check them out. Ha ha, it'll also be pretty soon because right after I posted this my heater started to sizzle.

    I really like your data collection there; I hope to do something similar in the future.
