Inkbird Digital Temperature Controller

If you need reliable temperature control for a reptile vivarium or a heat mat setup, this temperature controller gives straightforward, plug-and-play thermostat control to hold a chosen temperature. The waterproof, food grade temperature probe is suitable for humid enclosures and simple to position, and the unit lets you plug heaters or coolers directly into the controller to maintain stable conditions without constant monitoring.

The controller offers dual relay outputs so heating and cooling devices can be managed at the same time, with separate differential settings to reduce rapid cycling. Compressor delay protection helps prevent short-cycling when using chillers, and built-in high and low alarms notify you of out-of-range conditions. Practical tip for keepers: position the probe where your animal uses it most, for example near a basking surface or hide entrance, rather than pressed directly to a mat, to measure the temperature your animal actually experiences.

Key Features

• Simple setup and control – plug heater or cooler into the unit and set your desired temperature for steady regulation
• Waterproof food grade probe – durable in humid vivariums and safe for use near animal feeding areas
• Dual heating and cooling outputs with separate differential settings – supports combined heater and chiller control for tighter stability
• Compressor delay protection and high/low alarms – reduces wear on compressors and alerts you to temperature excursions
