I'm looking for a plug and play temperature control switch. One with a sensor probe of at least 8 feet and also with an adjustable differential.

I'd like to mount it outside my grow closet hence the probe. Also I don't need day/night function. Just a real basic unit.

Not quite ideal but this might work. Obviously it needs to be mounted in the grow space.

Nice. I wish they had this but worth a longer probe and no night/day function.

Titan is crap, get a Ranco etc111000 and a receptacle to plug in your device, you can extend the probe with some 2 conductor 20awg wire. Johnson controls is a good choice, a bit tricky to set, Ranco is easier to program.

Grainger sells many units that would work. I have a temp/humidistat I bought off ebay for 89 bucks years ago. After I built a commerciAL greenhouse, I found that Grainger has everything we need to build a superior grow space, and for not that much money,

I just picked up a Titan Mercury 3. Works the way it's supposed too, no long term data. I needed the idle and high temp features. Only a 6'cord.

well no fan is gong to be able to effectively control humidity in my exp, so a humidistat would not be practical. I always used a dehumidifier to maintain hum, now i live where i dont even have to worry about hum.

I don't agree. I have a 2 stage set up in my greenhouse. The 1st setting opens vent to relieve humidity, and the 2nd opens the big fans to cool.

I have a temp/humidistat in my grow room, and when humidity get's too high fans turn on. If temps get too high; The fans turn on.

Not to mention; This member asked for a temp/humid. controller' Didn't he?

I also have a dehumidifier, and if you had it on a humidistat; You could maintain a more consistent humidity %

Ranco makes a two stage controller, ETC211000, I've installed over a 100 of them and they work great. One stage for AC unit and second stage for venting.
