It will turn off at the desired temp, and turn back on when the temp falls 2 degrees below what you set it at.Awesome, thanks Toddrickfl1!!
@jsheffield ooh that’s cccold up there. Hope it warms up soon
Which brand?
I see one called Century available on Amazon, and the one I posted from Zenhydro.com
You plug it into the wall, then you plug your che into the thermostat, and thermostat has a little temperature probe that you put in the enclosure.what does it connect to. I am new at this. trying to get my tortoise house ready.
I bought a couple from ipower:

I have one just like it and it seems to keep the temp accurate.
Those controllers work well; they are great for a single, small-medium enclosure and have a great price point. As you mentioned the bayite controllers, they make more sense if you need to control temps in a much larger enclosure and will be pulling high watts which is why they cost more. They also come in dual mode where you have a fan come on to circulate air if temps get too high. More features more $$.
I have it taped to the side of the plastic tube inside the enclosure. Its sits about 10 inches above the substrate, so the wire doesnt run through the livable part of the enclosure. I made sure to keep it out of reach! I was afraid he'd try to bite the probe or the wire!
