This might be a silly question, but, can you attach 2 heaters via the one heating socket? And, that could two appliances be attached to the cooling socket?

I have the inkbird itc-308 wifi bought from Amazon.
I believe that one has a 10A max so as long as you do not go above that it should work.

I have 3 Inkbirds now and no complaints. The 306a is the latest and the best. Dual probes and relays, tighter temp (.5 F).

I've had a 308s on my QT for 3 years, a 308 w/ wifi) on my nano for a year, and now a 306a on my 180g for 3 months.

Posted this in a different thread, but may be useful here as well

In case anyone is interested in Inkbird ITC-306A, Inkbird is selling them on eBay for $44.99, however they will accept offer of $39 (free shipping).

I got 2 for that price, and they are WiFi version with 2 plastic probes. They ship from China, but item arrived to me in 1 week, so really fast.

Just ordered it but arrives april 16 which is far from here lol

If that is what eBy estimated delivery says, it is wrong. For me it said like a month as well, but I got my shipping # day or 2 after I placed the order, and then i could see what was going on with package.

Lots of info on google on how to do it. Basically you need to split your dual bands into 2 different WiFi connections. One for 2.4 ghz and other for 5 ghz. Then you connect your phone to 2.4 and get connection established. After that, you can switch phone to 5 and it will still work.

I just set up the 306t-a this weekend and so far I really love it as well. Had to do a quick calibratio of +0.7 degrees, though.

Did anyone else need to do a calibration adjustment?

Only CON so far is the trend graph has really weird y-axis that can't be adjusted as far as I can tell.

Looks like you are using the old app. Search for inkbird pro.

I like the fact that they have catered to the Aquarium market by having a replaceable non-metal temp sensor.

New to this whole thing. I got an Inkbird ITC 308, but it has a metal probe? Is this bad?

Sorry for a late reply. Always reading and researching.

Some people experienced issues with metal, as it wasnt specifically made for salt water use. Easy way around that is to put thin layer of silicone around the probe to make it water resistant. That way you wont have issues with corrosion.

Just put in an offer for $38. Hopefully it works out. China's GDP just dropped today so I suspect they'll accept


Good looking out

I just sent mine back to Amazon, didn't have it a week. The temp was all over the place and the calibration would constantly drift, so it never was stable for more than a couple hours without changing calibration. Two probes are unnecessary for this unit and seem to cause more problems than help. Ordered a Ranco and I'll wire it up myself.
I will say that Ink Bird tech support was very nice, but it didn't fix or solve my problem.

What Ranco you purchase and from where?
