Controls temperature of my Keezer fermenter with remote cell phone app

I've been using Inkbird c929 for about 2 weeks, my app is home brewed and I use it to brew the keezer 16 gallon fermentation chamber -Control the fermenter. The appeal of this device is not only to regulate the temperature of the fermenter, but also to be able to control the temperature while on the move and to be able to raise the temperature level remotely. Plus, you have the peace of mind of checking the process while you're away from home. I used to use Inkbird itc308 for my Keezer, the call for change was remote access on the go. Setting it up (registering the MAC address in the mobile app) and using the app is extremely easy: select heating or cooling, set the desired temperature level, install the temperature sensor, then connect the Kizer or heater. I use a small space heater to keep warm. You can also configure using the buttons on the front of the device. The criticism of the lack of dedicated heating and cooling tanks (like on my itc308) is valid, but from my practical experience I know I never switch heating/cooling during fermentation, it's either one or that depending on the ambient temperature in mine other basement. The only exception is when I'm in heat mode (as it is now in December) I want to switch to refrigeration for a cold crash at the end of fermentation. But in my process I always like to be in a Kizer when transitioning to a cold fail anyway and that won't be a problem in summer temps just chilling. I also have to say that this is my first connected wifi internet app. Hesitant to try it at first but was impressed with how easy it was to install and use.

Pros
  • Lasting test results
Cons
  • Concise manual
