Inkbird PID Temperature Controller Kit, High Voltage 100ACV to 240ACV

7/31/26 Good controller, easy set up and runs great. I use these in control panels I make for smokers, water cookers and some other applications that I need varriable amperage controls. Fair price for a good controller. I like it.

1st I ordered wouldn’t power up. They replaced it and this one works great. Very good customer service. I’d buy from them again

Great product for a great price. It was basically set up and ready to go and the few things I needed to change were easy to do with the instructions. It's been great for my home brew system

Works well. Instructions confusing. Also, the included probe is only good up to 400 degrees Celsius. For running a kiln, which is my use, it is not adequate. You will have to buy another probe. There is an excellent YouTube video on wiring this up. I highly recommend you watch it, probably more than once. I had no idea from the instructions how to do this. Also, the instructions say that the K-type probe is "faulty." This is incorrect; it DEFAULTS to the k-type probe in the settings. Seriously, watch the video. The title is "Wiring the INKBIRD ITC106 VH PID.

Finally, an inexpensive controller that functions as described. PID loop is a true PID controller, not just some pretend imitation. I programmed it to maintain .01 degree accuracy...and it was spot on. There are a few variants of this units by other vendors that I have purchased - some don't control worth a hoot, others will only display C not F, and finally, with 3 PHD's I could not program the other units...This one, was a piece of cake to program! Easy to use, thank you. The instructions were well thought out and large enough in print to read, unlike some other brands that are hidden and so small a microscope is needed to read them...

I purchased the inkbird for use in a homebuilt smoker. It was pretty easy to install and to use. It holds a consistent temperature. Excuse me, but I need to go spritz the ribs.

I used this to control a hot plate made from ¾ inch thick aluminum plate and cartridge heaters. I used the auto-tune feature to get started, then tweaked the Ctl and PID settings until I was able to achieve a variation of only plus or minus 0.5 degrees C from the set point, at a steady state temperature. With all the thermal mass in the plate, it was necessary to switch off power to the heater cartridges at least 20 degrees below the set point on initial heat-up, to avoid too much temperature overshoot. I would then switch the heaters back on as it eased up to the set point. I like that you can store an offset to calibrate the K type sensor. Be sure to use a good thermal paste designed for computer cpu’s when mounting the SSR to the heat sink.

Keeps settings if you just press SET after you finish programming. My apologies for not understanding that before leaving an unfair review. The unit itself worked for a couple months perfectly. Then it allowed my 30 Amp heater to overheat and damage my machine. Pulling it apart, the SSR was burnt. It was rated at 40 Amps, should not have been an issue. After installing a contactor/seperate voltage set up, the unit worked for about 2 days, then started flickering on and off, no matter the settings. I don't know if it was the failing SSR that damaged the controller, or if the controller itself was faulty, but I'm guessing the faulty SSR did the damage. I would use again on a smaller load, but never on a 30A or more load again where heat control is critical.

debo probarlo para ver si al menos funcionalmente es bueno
