- Thanks for watching. Today we are looking at the Dual Stage Humidity Controller by Inkbird. This unit (IHC 200) is simple, affordable, and reliable. I have 2 units and both have worked for me very well for the past 2 years (continuous use). And that's saying a lot as my Auber controller had an issue with the relay and my Johnson controller just stopped working all of a sudden. This inexpensive unit has outlast all of them and I really put mine through hell!!

this was way easier to understand then the instructions that came with it
Literally
You got instructions?
@@trevor852 you can say that again.
I thought I was too high glad I’m not alone
the instructions SUCK!!
DUDE!!!! I just bought the temp/humidity combo set for my grow space. The included instruction manual reads like a scientific data paper.
Your video just saved me a migraine.
THANK YOU!!!
Be curious how you set yours up. I just want to kick on a small space heater at like say 57% Humidity to warm the air and lower the humidity.
I'd say it reads like a 2nd grader wrote it.
should have bought wifi combo, u can program it thru computer or phone, easy as fuk
Three years later youre still saving people (including me) from that manual.
many thanks, i'd started with the little manual but was quickly losing the will to live so this was a solid gold find. Many thanks for the clearest explanation I could have asked for.
LOL. Very good!! I'm glad it was helpful!
Very well done! I really appreciate you taking the time to make this, and your ability to get straight to it without a lot of useless antics.
Thanks Tom
This video was as helpful as anyone could ever ask for. The instructions that come with it are a bit challenging to comprehend to say the least. Thank you for posting this
I was intimidated by the device when I got it and got my humidifier and dehumidifier working correctly by time video was over. Thank you for you super easy instructions. Got a full understanding in less than 10 minutes
I really appreciate how you take the time to discuss the equipment needed, why you need it and how to use it. I am just getting into Charcuterie and currently setting up my chiller just like the one you have. My hopes are to have plenty of Charcuterie for this summer.
Cool. Let me know if you have any questions...
Your video was super easy to follow and comprehensive. Finally got my auto function to work thanks to your video!
I had it set up for my humidifier and now i need to set up my dehu but I lost my instruction manual and this was super easy, thanks. All set up and going in 5 minutes. Can't beat it.
This was an absolute life saver. The included instructions were damn near impossible to understand. Thank you for the clear and concise explanation.
Thank you for this, as I was struggling with the directions for this unit. I just set up a Paludarium and looking forward to seeing how well this unit dials in the humidity. My coworker is big into curing meats, looks like you've got some great videos that can help him in his endeavors.
Dude.......That was a straight up SPOT ON👌 product walk through. :):):) Very much appreciated.
THANK YOU 😊 I was totally lost as far as the instructions go. You made it so easy.
youre the man, i been getting woke up by this alarm for like 5 days lol
Thanks dude! This is one of those examples of a video being informative and to the point and super useful
Great this gives me confidence to set up my humidity control now. Thank you.
Fantastic videos and replies to everyone’s questions. Your webpage and videos have made my project of building a chamber and learning how start my new hobby have been an extremely valuable resource to have. I can’t thanks you enough.
Thanks Jonathan. Glad I could help. If you run into any issues be sure to let me know..
@2guysandacooler When the product is plugged in to any socket, it doesn't turn on.
The digital display won't light up, the buttons don't do anything. Could this just be a faulty product? Do they not do any quality control?
THANK YOU!! The instructions that came with it were giving me a migraine and you explained it so well.
Beautifully thorough and to the point. Thanks. Using one of these in my grow tent!
Great and clear demonstrationof how to operate it thank you, I'm waiting for mine to come in the mail
Wowzers this video was awesome.. explained everything perfectly. Thank you!
Man this video is super clear, easily best instuction video i've ever seen
Fantastic the instructions are diabolical to follow, your video made it easy & logical thank you
I tried to read the manual on this thing and I was able to set the RH but I was super confused about dd and DH which I needed to create a loop of humidifying and air intake/dehumidifying. This was super helpful! Now I just need to learn how to calibrate them.
Excellent. Check this out to calibrate. th-cam.com/video/AI9jC_wXd1k/w-d-xo.html
Great review mate 🤙🏼 the info card it came from just doesn’t cut it sometimes but this video sure did. You’ve earned a like!
To say the very least
Definitely needed to watch this video. Thanks a million!
Thanks for this awesome tutorial! You save me a lot of time and headache!
Excellent delivery!! Inkbird instructions are quite confusing. Thanks for simplifying the set up 😁😁😁
well thank god for you, the instructions that come with the unit are horribly inadequate, this was perfectly understandable and simple. Thank you.
Very informative and at the same time short guide!
So glad you made a vid on how to program this. I had to buy this one for my ball python. The humidifier I have for him don't automatically shut off and inkbird is the only humidity controller I could find
Excellent. Glad it worked out!
I plan to use this to control old non-electronic dehumidifiers (like old Kenmores) and also new electronically controlled ones where the electronics has gone haywire so I'll control the compressor/fan directly with this controller (cheaper than electronic repair or getting another dehumidifier.) Looks like a great unit especially since can replace the sensor.
Great video I am looking to setup ths unit thanks to this content,cheers bro🙏🏻💚🌱☯️🫡
Great clip. You answered all my questions.
I love this channel, saludos desde México.
Bless you for making this vid. The IHC 200 instruction manual is complete a waste of paper. But the actual controller rocks, now that I know how to work it!
Awesome video easy to understand and very informative
Thank you soo much for these directions.
Best instruction on the internet !! 🙏🏼thanks
Thank you for putting this video out ! I feel much more confident using this product in my greenhouse now. ^ . ^
excellent. I'm glad it was helpful.
Hey I’m not a common catfish but let me tell you I swear by this product I had the same one for over five years very accurate works wonders
Great video, very helpful !!! Thank you !
Thanks for the video made the set up so easy
You are the best! You just helped me out exponentially*! Thank you!
this guy deserves a like and a subscribe
Ty , I lost the instructions and forgot everything 😆 you explained it so easily, way better than the instructions I remember having.
Thanks so much for this, helped me out a lot.
Great video and information my friend
Thank you
Excellent -- so quick and easy. TY
Thank you for making this video
Just bought mine during Prime. Setting up drying chamber. Use their temp control products for my brewery.
Great! The Best explanation! Thanks a lot!
Thanks, great refresher
Thank you for simple instructions done in a great way!
Outstanding! Many Thanks
Thank you my friend you helped me a lot! God bless.

Thankyou for this video very helpful
Excelent video. Very helpfull. Thankx
Very well explained! Thank you
You are welcome!
Thank you! Great video 👍👍
Very clear instructions.
Merci pour ces explications très efficaces.
Hi, thank you for a very clear and precise overview of the IHC-200. I have a question. I am only running a small humidifier placed inside a chiller chamber for curing sausage. Is it ok to just have the Work 1 socket plugged in and leave the Work 2 empty?
Thank you! That was perfect. The instructions included gave me angst. Do you know if there is a way to deactivate the high humidity alarm?
Clear and precise
Thanks for the best way to explain the controller i use it as reference to share it with my friends …best explanation ever
We use it in the birds room
May i know what humidifier u r using and the dehumidifier
I can recommend after almost 3 years of familiarity with inkbird itc-200, so it is very important to turn the sensor so that the caves face forward, as far away from a surface as possible, that can hold at a different temperature than there is in, the air.
Then inkbird itc-200 may prove wrong in these cases.
Calibration in the same way, with the sensor away from a surface as possible.
Best Regards. Frank Ingemann Knudsen.
Great Video! Explained super well! However, I have an issue with my meters. Whenever they are in ambient air, 2 of them are 1% off from each other and a 3rd meter is 5 & 6% off from those. Weirdly enough, when I put them all in an airtight plastic container with the salt (even with insulation below container to not affect the temp from table) all 3 meters show the exact same number - 77%. Any ideas why this would be happening?
This was such a big help thank you so much I'm subscribing even though I don't really follow this type of content. I'm using this for reptiles as this was recommended by many people in the reptile hobby.
Thanks for subbing! Glad the video was useful..
Hey there, I have mine plugged into a humidifier for a cigar room, everything works fine but when it kicks on the work 1 plug, my humidifier wont turn on. Wondering if thats something with the ink bird or if its jist that my humidifier doesnt have an auto on function? Any help is appreciated, thank you!
I'm using this with a dehumidifier that has a compressor. When the inkbird reaches target humidity, it cuts off power to the dehumidifier. I have the delay protection value set to 3, since the dehumidifier has a 3 minute delay on the compressor. What I noticed actually happens is after the 3 minute time frame I have set for the delay protection value passes, the inkbird turns on the dehumidifier but only the fan runs, not the compressor. The compressor won't start up until 3 minutes from this point. Any ideas on how I can get the compressor to turn on where the fan won't run on its own and I'm not waiting an extended amount of time?
I have my inkbird set up like how you mentioned, with a humidifier and dehumidifier. Neither one is turning on however, and the rh is way past the differential value Ive set it to (3.0)Any help? 😕
Is it normal to have a buzzing noise coming from this unit? Seems to be working but noticed a buzzing noise today when I got close to it , not the wifi one just regular 200. TIA
Thanks this helped a lot! The instructions are pretty confusing. They should just give the link to this video in the instructions.
You are a hero!
Great Video. Looking to buy. One Q. Do I have to use Work2 (dehumidifier) plug? I just want to use the Work1 (Humidifier) plug. Does leaving Work2 plug empty still allow my humidifier (Work1) work??
Thank you!
Thank you! Super helpful!
You're welcome!
Hi, I wonder if you know this - will this work with 2 fans? (1 exhaust and 1 air supply fan) if I plug in both work 1 and work 2?
I don’t need additional humidification as such
Thanks for the video!
What should my settings be in "dd" if I don't plan on plugging a dehumidifier to this plug? I am going to use this for a humidifier only for my plants. Thank you.
Can you help with the ER message on the humidity control sensor? I have had mine for about two days, I put it together quick and easy with your instructions, and I keep getting an ER message. What am I doing wrong? Appreciate any advice I can get.
I just plugged mine in but the sensor in this device is reading the humidity at 74% while my thermostats which are all accurate read 59%. Does the sensor need calibration or something?
My humidistat is not reaching Rh and then dropping below alarm low? It's the second one I've bought as the first did the same thing. Please help 🙏
I wish there was a video showing how to replace the sensor. Inkbirds instructions that came with my replacement sensor are very vague.
My Hd and Dd values are not going below “10” and I’ve stopped seeing the decimal point on the bottom half of the display. What’s happening?
Man your the best thank you !!
Recently talked to the manufacturer. They have come out with a wireless version of this product. Also the new version has a plastic cage around the sensor. Not trying to overstep, just trying to help.
Nice. I've noticed the cool upgrades that they've made recently. Much better!!
2 Guys & A Cooler strong product. I use an InkBird for my 300 gallon tilapia aquaponics system & another for my cold smoke smoker. Starting my modifications on a fermentation chamber. I will be using InkBird for humidity & temp control if I can get my hands on a wireless unit for humidity. Your coppa recipe actually.
Thank you very, very much.
Gave up on mine two years ago and called it a loss. Figured it was The Germans getting their revenge on us. This video made it super easy. Appreciate the translation
THANK YOU!
Great clip thank you! I found the humidity probe to be very slow ... The device is fairly accurate when humidity is increasing. But very slow to detect when humidity is dropping. To test this I took my tent to 98% before it shuts down my humidifier (8x8 tent). I exhausted the tent quickly once humidity hit 98% and but the device took roughly 8 minutes before it detected the sudden change in humidity. I have a separate humidity probe for my exhaust fan, which detects the change in humidity a lot quicker, so I was able to compare. Have you seen this to be a problem?
So helpful thankyou
Thank you!!!
I have this one and how come it doesn’t turn on my humidifier even when I have the control set to power on humidifier at 50 percent
Thank you
thanks bro preaty cool
Hey man, can you use this with an extraction fan and ocilator fan instead?
Mine didnt come with instructions lol thanks for making this video. :)
