Unstable PID controller - buy INKBIRD ITC-100VH

I bought this controller because on paper it matches the ITC-100VH INKBIRD. This controller cannot provide accurate process control, especially in terms of output duty cycle. It doesn't have the ability to set a minimum/maximum duty cycle like many other INKBIRD PID controllers do. If you have a very small heater or other system that can sustain a 100% duty cycle load for an extended period of time then this will work well. Even with auto-tuning and manual tuning, there was no way to limit the output duty cycle, which resulted in heater overheating in my system. much more stable than this model. Even if you don't use a heating element, the INKBIRD ITC-100VH is much more intuitive and controllable than this model, with the ability to set the duty cycle and duty cycle duration. Not worth the few bucks savings compared to IKBIRD ITC. -100VH controller. The only system I can think of that might work with this controller is a heat pump or similar system that has a lot of thermal mass and requires the regulated output to be on at 100% duty cycle for a long time before turning off.
