Elitech STC-1000WiFi Temperature Controller Thermostat, Prewired - Just Plug and Play, WiFi Wireless Remote Control

Up and fully functional within an afternoon. Excellent build quality. Robust enclosure and substantial power leads (both input and output) - the only product I was comfortable controlling a 240V 2.2Kw heater (about 9.2A) without the leads getting hot. (Please note that (I think) for 120V supplies that 2.2Kw heater equates to over 18A - so only up to a 1.1Kw heater for you! just so you know). (2.2Kw 'resistive' = about 200W 'Inductive' for those that are that high tech.) The Elitech is rated at up to a respectable max. 10A switching - really, that is a very good specification. Setting the 'on' and 'off' temperatures is NOT straight forward. (See page 2 of instructions) This device seems primarily for 'cooling' refrigeration applications but can work just as well for 'heating' applications. The desired 'heater ON' temperature setting has to be set as a combination of "TS" (Temperature 'Set Point') MINUS the number entered for "HD" (Heating Differential) - e.g To get the heater to switch on at an air sensor temperature +2℃ I have to set the "TS" as +4℃ AND the "HD" to +2℃ AND to keep it out of the equation also set the "CD" (Cooling Differential) to its maximum of +15℃ - but this works, and the heater reliably kicks in at 2℃ and I can also set a delay (if needed) as a buffer to prevent excessive switching in rapidly fluctuating temperature changes. In addition I could also set a cooling fan separately but I'm not sure what the succulents would make of that! The temperature sensor seems good quality and accurate, it has a generous 2 meter lead. I am not 100% certain but do not physically cut shorten the lead as (I believe) it can form part of the sensor electrical circuit. The app. was readily available and installed and worked. It shows me live current temperature and 'off' and 'on' status. I can set and change ANY of the settings IN REAL TIME (Live) from my phone screen on the App. and set up 'alarm' notifications to SMS and even e-mail. It is not the App. you think you need, it is actually named the "Elitch iCloud" and NOT "Elitech Tools" You will need email access to register but this is free. *I do note that if your phone appears not have a suitable version of android then nowadays the app. providers ("Google Play" etc) will not show the listing for that app. at all. My phone is not particularly new, it only has Android 7.0 (but it is a genuine version). The app. downloaded and worked fine. But I also not that some phone manufacturers tell you you have a certain version of Android in the specifications and in fact you don't. To avoid 'royalties'/'copyright' issues you may have a much older version or hybrid (fake) version on your phone - I am not sure what Android version the Elitech App. requires. The Elitech works fine on my 2.4GHz Wi-Fi and has a good range. I do not know if 5GHz is supported, I think not. But most reasonable routers will be kicking out both frequencies anyhow. For commercial / business users - The App. provides Temperature Storage Traceability with current (live) and historical storage temperature data (daily, weekly, monthly?) all downloadable as files, i.e. provable inspection records. Anyone involved in commercial food storage or transport will know the importance (and usual costs) of this. All-in-all very happy with purchase and relieved that my heater wiring is no longer the fire hazard that it was previously.

I've found this equipment easy to set up, connect and adjust using the accompanying app. The app itself is purely functional and does away with any fancy designs and artwork, allowing quick and easy access to the raw data and settings. So far it has worked a treat and the regular updates I get through email are certainly a plus. Wifi connectivity is excellent where smartplugs have either failed or regularly lost signal. All in all, it has been reliable for my needs.

Seems to work otherwise well, but you will need to connect customer service to get the wifi working. Also the ui for wifi is baad.

Still would recommend this to purchase.

I tested the product and it seems to work perfectly, but need to mount it to my smoking box and we will see how it works.
Just the setting up the mobile application was little confusing. Couldn't find the right app in App Store. But when I found it, it worked perfectly. Setting the parameters was very convenient and easy. I'll see how it works in real world... Recommend!

Easy to set up and use the app even more user-friendly. Recommend
