Heat temp thermostat!!!

[MJH54321]

Would it be possible to use an English room thermostat like this to turn my fans on when the heat starts to get high.

I thought about just cutting the mains wire from the plug to the fan and installing it in there, like i have with a dimmer switch.

Thanks

Sounds like a plan, should work fine.

I'd need to wire it up backwards though wouldn't i? so it would do the opposite of what its produced to do?

If your just turning it on and off it should work. Yes reverse the wiring.

I have just ordered this guy here. I havent recieved it yet but I just slapped a male plug end on my exhaust fan and I think it will work great. I considered using other thermostats but I was not confident in how to wire it up to my fan. I hope it works for you and I look forward to seeing how it turns out.

I'm not 100% on the idea yet, its for a future grow but im researching stuff for it now. I looked at a digital one like "Xcon" but it was £30 and i dont really want to pay that much if i dont have to.

let me know how yours goes (PM me on here) i'll invest if i know it'll work fine.

Thanks. I'm going to keep looking around but this seemed the cheapest most professionally looking i could find.
