Review on 🌧️ Optimize Climate Control with Inkbird ITC-308 Temperature Controller and IHC-200 Humidity Controller by Ben Dixon

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Does its job and does it well

Making cheese as a hobby. To do this job properly, you need to be able to control the temperature and humidity of the room you're aging your cheese in as it transforms from milk curd to the type of cheese you're making. Traditionally, this is achieved with the help of a nearby cave where Mother Nature did it for you, as well as some important molds and bacteria that help to flavor your cheese to perfection. Unfortunately I don't have access to such a wonderful cave. Instead I used this tool to create it. It comes with a temperature and humidity sensor. I glued both wires inside the fridge and routed the wires to the controller. I also put a small room humidifier in the fridge and routed the power cord. This power cord, as well as the power cord of the refrigerator and the two probe cords were connected to the device. I then spent about 20 minutes learning how to program the device. Once I made the right settings, the device took over. Basically, I set it to maintain the desired temperature range by turning the fridge on or off, and the desired humidity range by turning the humidifier on or off. I've been using it for over two weeks now and it works great. I also have a separate monitor to keep track of everything and the two readers are pretty close together. In a few days the first cheese results from my new "cave" cheese will appear. I can not wait!

Pros
