Id like to use the heat from my HPS bulb to heat my future grow op. Need advice for a reliable cheap thermostat to control my cooltube exhaust inline fan.

Sms smart controller is effective if its available in your country.


You set the temperature you want it to maintain ie 24C then you set your fans idle speed on the device. I set mine around 10%.

Then device does the rest.

I just buy the temperature control units that are used to control attic fans. About 20.00 t your local hardware store. Easy to wire in, reliable and cheap.

Although I bought a refurbished one on ebay for half the price of this one /\/\/\/\
