A thermostat is just a switch. It needs to be in the power lead of the device you want to control.Hey al, I want to set up a Thermostat for my room.
I want it to be a programmable kind so I can set what temp to run at night and during the day.
I would like it to be hooked to the air conditioner as well as a Heater.
The heater is around 1500 watts 12.5 amps on 120v
The air conditioner is 8000 btu. cant find the wattage/amps
I am not super savy on how to accomplish this, but I understand basic wiring directions, ect...
any chance I get some basic help on how to accomplish this.
hay ho, TJ, good to see you. Glad you found something you needed.Thanks for the tip Al, I'm in Oz so will be picking
one up from Jaycar soon. I came here from OSA to check out your SOG thread, and found a thermostat I was lookin for instead, sweet.
Sorry, wish I could help you. I haven't ordered any beans in about 6-7 years.Al sorry to hijack your thread, I have been reading your posts, like the SOG 2 week stuff. I live in Perth (please. dont laugh.) ? Seeds, only seeds avail locally are crud, do you know if I order from a good seed bank (Canada say) will they be delivered.
Could you be a bit more vague? What do you need to know?i have no idea what you just said with breakers, leads, what? can you post some pics to help me?
A thermostat is merely a switch.all i'm asking is either create a DIY in here or a new thread, or just quote your original post with pictures under the steps so i can see whats hapening....
another thing... is there a way to hook 2 different fans up? one to exhaust and when it gets too hot and one too intake if it falls under a certain temperature?
wait... outside?because i'm doing my stealth grow outside and it's going to be on average 40-70*F and i don't want them to freeze or to burn...
apart from that? because i was actually planning on doing one of 2 things: just using this to keep a mother alive until next spring; or, coverting 2 70w security lights...Sorry, I don't have high hopes for any grow that uses CFL for flowering.
If you're going to flower under artificial light, you're wasting your time unless you're using HPS.apart from that? because i was actually planning on doing one of 2 things: just using this to keep a mother alive until next spring; or, coverting 2 70w security lights...
Programmable? For what, aside from the temp setpoint?and does the theremostat have to be programable?
This is the same link twice.
