I have this one, and want to make sure I set it up properly: https://www.ink-bird.com/products-temp-controller-itc308wifi.html

The instructions don't explain the heat difference, cooling difference, and refrigeration delay. What I think happens, is, before it will kick the heating on, the temp has to drop from the set point (currently 78) to the set point minus the heat difference. So, if the heat diff is set to 1 degree, the heating wouldn't engage until 77 degrees. Is that correct? And likewise, the tank would have to get to 78 plus the cooling difference before the cooling would engage. So what is the refrigeration delay?

If my assumptions are correct, what do you have yours set at? I have my SV at 78, heat difference at 1 degree, and cooling difference at 3 degree. I don't currently have anything set up for cooling anyway and am limited in options there. Going into fall/winter, more concerned about the heat.
