Sentinel climate controller reviews?

Yeah i was thinking of purchasing one of these. I don't know if it has an intermatic timer with alot of events, but if it incorporates into this box, i'll for sure buy it for my next cab.

I dont believe it does...it controls temp, humid, co2...gotta run lights and hydro stuff separate, but this is perfect for me. getting everything necessary to do these three things cannot seem to be found for less than a grand.

Well After looking high and low for info on this co2 controller I decided to try it out. I paid $509 with shipping from eBay. It really seems to be the best deal out there for controlling co2, humidity, and temp with a photo sensor. I'll let you know how it goes.

I just purchased a CHHC-1 as well. I got mine for $450 here: http://www.igrowhydro.com/blog/711/s...chhc-1-coupon/

Keep me posted as too how you like yours and what your setup is and I'll do the same. I have a 10 x 10 room with 4 x 600w lamps. The room is "sealed". I have no intake and no exhaust so the the plants can just marinate in the CO2.

The controller is capped at 15amps, which means it cannot control an AC unit (most of them). At most, it can control a dehumidifier, but if you're also using it to control intake/exhaust fans, you might be cutting it too close.

I use separate controllers, the CPPM1 and the EVC-2.

i was checkin out the chhc1 some more... the specs say that it runs off of 15 A @ 120 V (from wall). but itself has heavy duty power outlets with 30 A relays. did someone tell you they were having problems powering their equipment or did u just assume it wouldn't work? or did u have 1?

I have a CHHC-1 with a 11,000 BTU AC unit and a CO2 regulator plugged into it. The AC is 12 amps and works fine.

I do have a Dehumidifier but it is not plugged into the CHHC-1 because it doesn't revert to the last setting when the power is cut off and turned back on (be sure to check that when purchasing AC and Dehumidifer components to be connected to the CHHC-1).

awesome thread.. I was looking for controlers also.. Looking to run an ac,dehumid,c02 i wont mind spending the 600-700 bucks just want the best.. Let me know how u guys make out.. show some pixs too.!!
