Review on 🦎 Smart Reptile Thermostat with WiFi Connectivity: Wteske Temperature Controller for Heating and Cooling, Compatible with Alexa Google Home, Ideal for Reptiles, Aquariums, Homebrew, Seedlings, and Greehouses by Justin Live

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Cooling and heating stay on after operation even when not needed to keep the temperature within the set range.

I bought this unit for my greenhouse. I've successfully used two small outlet temperature enabled plugs for cooling, but haven't found any for heating that work properly. Before switching on, they would have to freeze too close. It should turn on at 35 and turn off at 45. The other one I have is supposed to turn on at 38 and turn off at 50. None of them work properly. In any case, this thermostat needs to have an adjustable cooling range of 80Β°C @ 70Β°C by default and the above heater needs to turn on at 35Β°C @ 45Β°C to work really well. The way it works now might waste a lot of energy. Maybe it can be updated? I wanted to bring that back but now I have a workaround by using a connector on the cooling outlet to turn the fan on at 78 and off at 70 while this unit handles heat well. It keeps it above 45, and the high limit set to 50 will cause this thermometer to turn on the output to cool, but the temperature controlled output connected to it won't turn on, so energy isn't wasted and the temperature stays in range.

Pros
  • Test, measure and verify
Cons
  • Only available in black
