Thanks for starting this thread OP. I'm a huge fan of consistency with my parameters so I've been trying to keep my temp within a tight range (.2) as well.
After watching the BRS heater investigates, I've been using two Cobalt Neo-Therms, which have internal controllers. One set at 78, which the EB8 turns off in case the temperature gets above 78.2 and one set at 76, in case the first one fails.
I've never had a Neo-Therm fail so the back-up has never had to be used and the main Neo-Therm is actually really consistent for me. I have two temp probes on my Apex. One in my return chamber, which is where the main Neo-Therm is, and one in the overflow chamber to monitor the temp coming back from the DT.
Here is my 24 hour plot:
Only reason it got above 78.20 was because I didn't have my fan plugged in yesterday.
As for the EB8 turning on and off too much, which can harm the EB8's reliability, how much is too much? On hot days, I've monitored my output log and my fan is turning on and off ~20 times per day. Is that too much wear on the EB8?
