Inkbird IHC-200 Dual Relays Digital Humidity Controller Humidistat for Humidifier Dehumidifier

I got a new gadget the other day to control one of my de-humidifiers. Inkbird IHC-200UK Humidity Controller. Easy to use, just plug into your devices and set the target humidity, then it works, NO WIRING. Can switch on or off.I have two dehumidifiers and 3 extractor fans so I can remove air from the shed with the fans and rreduce humidity that way as well. the Inkbird It is a brilliant unit but not quite compatible to my dehumidifier. It will analise the air in the shed then switch on and off equipment as required. My unit has an electronic on off switch so when it gets switched off it needed to manually be pressed to go on again - hence the Inkbird unit will no switch it on and off automatically. So I decided that i'll control the extractor fans instead. I've always played with these switching manually so an automatic switching an and off will be great.I set this all up and its really working well - tried all sorts of different settings and switches off and on really well. This unit will greatly help out when you have direct switching de-humidifiers and or extractor fans - well worth the price.

I bought two or these items , they have been working for over a year non stop, no issues so far

A game changer to keep humidity (rh) at a constant stable. Really easy to use & set up an actual game changer & great value. Keeps temps & or humidity bang on very accurate. Happy with this product very much.

Nice piece of kit, but I’d say the hydro meter is a little off, still works well though if you factor it this in!

After finding out that my previous inkbird was faulty I've decided to buy another inkbird for my set up. They are easy to use and very accurate, they can break easy after a wile. My previous one lasted me nearly two years, the problem I had it stopped switching off between controls and fluid my setup with 100% humidity. But the one I just purchased is doing a great job. Love this inkbirds

Nice product although not easy to set up

I thought I'd wait a couple of months to write a review for this product as I wanted to properly test it.I rigged the Inkbird controller up to an extractor fan situated inside of my fish shed. I have 30 aquariums and high humidity levels were always a concern. I had tried adding air vents, then smaller dehumidifiers and fans, but nothing brought the humidity to acceptable levels. So I bought an extractor fan and had it plugged into a timer switch and set it to go on and off at 15-minute intervals. This worked well, but the temperature fluctuated too much (I heat the shed, not individual aquariums). I knew there must be a better way of doing this. I did a bit of research and the Inkbird controller kept popping up. I had to try it and it has been amazing. There was a wee bit of trial and error programming the device, but eventually, I got it to do what I wanted. It turns on at 70% humidity and turns off at 50% humidity. and my shed temperature stays around 27 degrees Celcius. I'm happy with this product and it has been a great investment. I'd recommend it to anyone who has a fish shed or reptile room.

I bought one of these controllers, having bought one before and found that one to be working, so I needed an additional one for another project.It arrived on Saturday and so I plugged it in to try it out. It seemed to be working correctly but after removing the humidifying mechanism, I found that even after two days, the readings were showing far higher than I'd expect. Initially it was stuck over 90%. It even suggested that my living room was at over 80% humidity.As I couldn't get these readings to lower, I contacted Inkbird support to report the problem.They suggested that I "dry the wire and probe with a blower(sic), test the air humidity, check to see if the readings are right".This prompted me to ask the question 'If I have to dry the wire and probe with a blower, what’s the basis for assuming its accuracy? At what point in the future will I know that the readings are inaccurate without verifying it with another device?'They responded with "Perhaps you can compare it to other hygrometer for testing".So there you have it: They admit that their product is in fact so unreliable that you need another device to test its accuracy (which could be out by a massive amount) and you'll be expected to know when to test it, too. Somehow, I'm supposed to know when it's going wrong so that I can test it, otherwise it'll destroy my projects.
