Just posting some interesting data. I have been using Hovabator incubators for 25 years and never used an external thermostat. Recently, after adding a very accurate WiFi temp/humidity sensor to one of the incubators, I saw just how variable the temperature is inside.
So, I tried a Herpstat 2 controller and the results are pretty impressive. Here is a graph of the temperature variations before and after the Herpstat 2.
The dotted line is 86 degrees F. The Herpstat 2 varies from 86.1 after a heat cycle to 85.7 just before a heat cycle. So, a total swing of 0.4 F.
