Inkbird saved my tank during my move

Love this product! I was about to move. In the summer I moved all my aquariums and corals. Before I could hook up my cooler to the manifold and connect it to my controller, I just hooked up my cooler to Inkbird. The temperature sensor accuracy helped keep my SPS tank within 1 degree, which is what I wanted. Thank you for purchasing this product before I moved. Highly recommended for all refrigerators

Pros
  • Fingers crossed
Cons
  • Very expensive

It saved my aquarium

This controller saved my entire reef tank. I originally bought it to get more accurate temperature readings and a more consistent temperature. What I never planned was a multi-day power outage after a major hurricane. Because this controller has a cooling output, I was able to connect a large fan to cool my tank. The controller requires very little power, so I didn't have to prioritize my generator's power to keep the controller running. At first I thought the cooling outlet was a waste of time

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Expensive Insurance

Poorly designed WiFi connection.

Teaching Chinglish is extremely poor. All the guides you can find on the internet will give you some general advice on how to try to wire it up. For example, your phone is on 2.4 GHz. So at some point I connected both of them to the app. They both broke up a few months later and I tried reconnecting them but it just doesn't work. Step 1 of each guide is to press and hold the ^ (WiFi) button for 3 seconds to make the status light blink. This doesn't happen. Nothing blinks. This is a poorly…

  • Best in its niche

Efficient but difficult to set up WiFi.

My aim is to use this in an old freezer used as a cooler for drinks and water. The biggest problem concerns the Wi-Fi setup. The instructions regarding setting "AP" are not clear. But once over this obstacle. In addition, the sensor diameter has been increased from 5mm to 12mm, requiring a much larger hole to accommodate the sensor in this cooler as it replaces the previous InkbirdSmart unit. Everything works fine, the InkbirdSmart app offers full remote control of the functions. A warning for…

Pros
  • Not cheap but decent
Cons
  • Update available

Hassle-free for your aquatic life.

I'm anything but a techie. I'll be the first to admit that I was kind of confused by the setup guide and was hoping for the best. Miraculously it worked for me. Admittedly, being a skeptic, I threw two independent thermometers into the aquarium to confirm the temperature - the thing is on top. I woke up this morning to find the temperature was 81°C. Knowing I was putting a boatload of $$$ coral chips in the tank today, I was more than a little concerned. Ink Bird appeared as a lone ranger. As…

Pros
  • Handsfree
Cons
  • Annoying

I bought this temperature controller for two reasons. I wanted to extend the life of my heaters and better control the temperature in the tank. This ITC-308 temperature controller did not disappoint. The item was well packaged with instructions for use. I read the quick guide that helped me download the Inkbird app. The app then walked me through the entire 10-minute setup process to connect to Wi-Fi. Once the Wi-Fi was set up I proceeded to install the aquarium temperature sensor and then…

Pros
  • Looks great
Cons
  • Too long to wait

Excellent temperature controller

Delivered on time, well packaged. I used the same brand (Inkbird) for my reef tank. However, this has Wi-Fi capability that the older version didn't have, making it more convenient to set up by phone. Would give 5 ⭐️ if the app was that easy to link to the recommended app. I used the Smart Life app instead. It took me less than 5 minutes to set it up using the Smart Life app to pair and make adjustments. The recommended app was frankly lousy and useless. Another thing is that the temperature…

Pros
  • Decent performance
