It's worth mentioning that the 'Work 1' outlet is for humidification and 'Work 2' is for dehumidification. The advice on sealing up the sensor was super helpful, thank you buddy!
This controller works great. I have. My tent set up with the dehumidify work2 on a turbo exhaust fan. If the humidity goes over just 1-2 it will kick on and gets in under control in under a min. Otherwise ur just waiting for water to condensate
Great video. I own a few of these. I've had a ton of problems with this company saying that these are not accurate at high humidity and just trying to blow of my purchase. I ran two of these hanging in my fruiting chamber within an inch of each other and I was averaging a 10%+ difference in readings. They care more about an order number than the fact the probe isn't fully insulated or is accurate. Typical (it's your fault, not ours) business response trying to not take responsibility when the product is bad. I would honestly never buy a single thing more from a company that tries to shift blame on an incorrectly made product. Even though it says it's rated to 99% humidity good luck getting them to take responsibility for not working in high humidity environments. When this one burns out I'll just go back to making my own humidity controllers that work correctly instead of buying more from these guys to save a bit of time.
Dude the best video on this controllers ever. I truly appreciate it this. I hate when people make videos reviewing them or explaining it and half ass it lol Thanks again
I can't connect the humidifer to the inkbird, no green lights are showing. Initially the 2nd light was on but isnt that specifically for a dehumidifier? Please help
I did not calibrate out of the box but I have 2 hygrometers that read about 12% higher than this so I moved it up 10 because that’s the max I could do, is that good or is it calibrated out of the box and my 2 hygrometers are wrong?
Thanks for that calibration idea! I missed that part in the settings and was wondering already why it works so smoothly but I can't get more than around 93% and already suspected a faulty sensor. Just trying that method.
Hey Eric, I've watched this video more than once. My question is what are the best settings for growing Lions Mane? Also curious about why my ink birds are showing different indoor humidity? Ones for CO2 the other for humidity. Thx #MushroomFantasies
what type of sensor do you use if the original breaks down? saying it's inexpensive, maybe you can write a link to aliexpress or ebay? the original costs 15-20 Eur.
Eric, I am trying to find the video where you mentioned you wish you had setup 2 fruiting chambers instead of one. Do you remember saying that? I am trying to find it because I need to know why :)
The problem I’m having with mine is that it is just reading error and beeping and it won’t let me adjust anything. If anyone could help me out that would be awesome! Mushroom lives at stake
Great video man - Just curious tho were you able to calibrate the other unit you briefly showed in your video? why did you stop using it? ive got one heading my way to control both temp and RH but curious if it even has to capability to be calibrated..... anyone know??
@@027fuckoff hey yeah it's been.... ok. I don't think the RH sensor is very accurate tho. But you can offset the reading for both temp and RH. It takes a bit of trial and error to get it dialed in for your set up/specific species etc...
That's what we have hey Eric we have the same model ihc200 inkbird. We don't have the exposed probe to put RTV over. Must be the newer models are different I'm guessing?
same thing with me. i think they updated the sensor. looks like our version is better protected, but i don't know how to replace it if it stops working
I was sitting there convinced I had purchased a defective product. It works as it should now. Thanks for tip re sensor. I moved it upwards so as not to get it wet.
Some people seem to have success with this unit. But for my needs the humidity i need is too high and it beeps all the time and the sensor will go bad like he said and it will have an error mode where it stops working. As you can see this dude has all the problems most people have. I sent mine back. Not good for gourmet mushroom cultivation. Dude literally shows you how shotty this product is. Dont do it, find something else or have your humidity on a timer once you have it dialed in. He is doing this video as an Amazon affiliate... that is where I got mine. I don't mean to ruin dudes livelihood but I came here to solve my problem only to see someone else struggling. If y'all can make it work GREAT 👍. BUT not my experience.
You can’t calibrate a hygrometer that way. You need to make a slurry out of salt water and seal (as best you can) the sensor in a bag with it for 8-12 hours. It should read 75% humidity.
My thought: If you make a video of how to program "anything" you should explain also the part that you don't use..."don't worry about" ...then why is it there? (PP)
@@MyersMushroomsFarms That's what I said, but if you go to any "computer tech" forums and mention something like: "Hey, just put your wet phone in rice", they will ban you because its supposedly proven it doesn't work. But then they try and sell you this (or have you pay to use their) electronic humidity control box. I've never had any problems with rice.
