Thank goodness I found you. I must have tried over 100 times to connect my 308s and every time got the FAILED signal. I was just about to chuck it through the telly when I decided to look on YT. A thousand thank you's mate.
You're a legend, thanks for this. Just got mine in the mail today, so happy when i found you had done a vid for it. The reason I was happy was because i knew the video was garunteed to tell me all i needed to know. Still haven't read the instructions!! Your content is awesome, a big cheers from Tassie!!
Your explanation makes so much more sense than the booklet, and saved my life from the wife, as it's for her bread dough proving box that I made for her. Cheers
Great explanation mate. I have this controller set up on my 220 litre fermenter. Your video really helped me understand all the settings and get it running great.
Many thanks for a clear and helpful video. The manual uses plenty of waffle which completely threw me! Beer is nice and chilled thanks to you! (Now raising a glass to you sir!)
I tried to connect it for like 100x times and it never worked But then I did this: 1) Turned off my 5GHz wifi (you can do it in the admin settings of your router) 2) Switched the Temperature Settings from C to F (like in this video 01:05) 3) Deleted the App and installed it again 4) Pressed the wifi / up Button till it started to blink faster 5) Connected it and it worked This steps could help you too, so you should try it, if you have problems like i had :) And thanks for the Video
Hey mate great vid. New to brewing and Looking at setting up a chest freezer or fridge what do u suggest for a heating element? My shed gets pretty warm most of the year do u reckon it could work with just the cooling side until I find a heating element (if I find I need one)? I like the wifi part of the inkbird because I work away for 2 weeks at a time so I can keep an eye on it. Cheers 🍻
Yes agreed, reason I dont is that I'm more than often found with the fridge door open staring at the fermenter with the ITC right in front of me hahaha
Awesome tutorial and setup guide! I just purchased my InkBird ITC-308 WiFi for homebrewing. I recently started kegging my beer but my Kegerator for some reason seems to work like a freezer and gets too cold! So I'm hoping this will solve that issue! For the heat mat, do you wrap your fermenter/keg with it, or do you set the heat mat on the bottom/floor of the fridge/kegerator? I had the same question for the probe, do you tape it to the middle/side of your fermenter or keg or on the middle/side of your Fridge/kegerator? Thanks The Home Brew Network!
How can you change it back to heating if it’s on cooling? I have a horse trough I’m trying to keep at room temp or luke warm during winter(encourages them to drink more) it’s a basic bucket water heater 1000 or 1500w?? I think.
Great video once again mate. Quick question, does this work with a chest freezer too? And do you need a heating element or can you just rely on the cooling side to keep the temperature?
Excuse my ignorance but what do you have plugged in to the heating side? If the fermenter is in the fridge and the cooling controls the power to the fridge what do brewers use to heat? Thanks.
Very helpful video! Thank you. This is a very nice device. However, the manual and website are a bit difficult to interpret. This video really does a nice job of explaining how to setup the unit.
When one circuit is active it supplies a constant 240v or whichever version you have, so yeah if you have contactor that runs or triggers off a constant 240v i guess you could. If youre into wiring things you might be better of with a STC1000 .Cheers
Damn I've been away from the forums too long! Didn't even know about this even though I use a couple of Inkbird products. Better get into the fray again. Cheers!
Just got one of these today! Thanks for the video, really helped get it setup. Looks amazing, and easy to setup using your guide! Couldn't be bothered with the manual :/ My only gripe so far after watching your video and setting up the ITC 308 WiFi is.... I wish I could disable the "beeping" alarm on the actual device and still have the notification on my phone. The mrs might be a bit "alarmed" hearing it go bi-bi-biiiiii when I'm at work!!
Yes thats a good point, to be honest though I've found things rarely go off, only time mine used to was when I using light globes to heat and the globes would blow. Cheers and thanks for watching!
Hello, If I set 18 and then 2 for the CD and same for HD I do not have this range applied. For example the fridge that should kick in at 20 C° or above it doesn't same thing for the heating. They simply start to heat or cool as soon as the temperature is 18,1 or 17,9, is there anything I don't know? Maybe I got a faulty device :(
So can this device be set for example if I want the cooling to kick on at 80°f and stay on until it gets down to 70°f before turning off again... So the cooling unit doesn't keep kicking on at 80 and then right off against 79 and then on again at 80 and right back off again at 79 etc.. etc... ???
Have you ever had it not come back online due to a power outage or network drop out. And when you try to hold the up button for 2 seconds to reset into network configuration mode and it won’t. It just flashes and says APP then goes back to normal screen without the wifi indicator led flash ? Any help would be greatly appreciate. thanks Josh
yes that is true. I got a hold of INKBIRD and they are sending me a replacement asap, which is very good of them. Apparently this is a problem with some of the wifi models.
I am just starting my first brew with the Fermzilla and a fermenting fridge. Obviously there are differences between fridges, but can I ask what settings you're using on the Inkbird and how you have the probe attached to the Fermzilla? I've seen it in the background in several vids, but can't find a video explaining how you set it up. Keep up the great work and the videos coming! Cheers :D
Hello, I would like to use this to control a 120 volt water pump (or a 12 volt with 120 v adapter) to send water through a tankless propane water heater as an aux heater for a intex hot tub, the tankless has a 20 min safety shut off so most peeps run a timer, can you set this to shut of say every 15 mins then back on for another 15 mins? it would only be uses ad the secondary heater but it might need to run for 60-90 mins to get the temp up to say 105 and i don’t want to have to restart it every 20 mins thanks
This model doesnt work on timings its all temperature controlled. This model maybe be better as you can set times for temps, still not 100% sure its what you need, Cheers th-cam.com/video/mNElm8W8vdo/w-d-xo.html
I've just got two of these, both set to 19, and yet they both will heat until 19.5, and as soon as hey get to there hey cool back to 18.5. They go up and down constantly and are either heating or cooling non stop. Have you noticed this happening at all?
theres a setting, lowest you can go is .3 .. any lower than that even if you could would kill your fridge likely. If it didnt explain offset in this video it will in my other video on inkbird ITC-308 Cheers! go through the settings and change the .5 to .3 Cheers!
@@HomeBrewNetwork thanks for the reply. I have t set to .5 but it's going 1 degree over each way. Just seems weird that it will swing so wildly - I'm talking every 5 minutes it goes right up to 1 degree over, and down again within 5 minutes. Might contact the company.
@@HomeBrewNetwork tapped to the side of the FV and insulated with a towel. I was thinking I've never had an issue before, but in reality I've never had the ability to check so who knows. It's not an issue for the fermentation as you can't change 23 litres within a 5 minute swing, it's just using heaps of power cycling up and down. Overnight I popped a fan in and it seems to be better which would indicate I haven't insulated the probe enough. Might get an old beer coozie and give it go. Thanks for your help.
Great video, mate. I also got a "failed to add device" notice several times on my iPad, I then connected first time on an old Android phone and the iPad started playing ball! Computers! How did you arrive at the 3 minute timing for the compressor setting?
Its a pretty standard setting - its the time typically required by any compressor based appliance for the head pressure to be reduced. If trying to start compressor any sooner than that, the motor may not start due to the high pressure head. Its built into many, if not most cooling appliances such as refrigerators, freezers, etc. I keep mine set to 3 minutes - just in case.
Can you set both functions to one plug? I have a unique situation: a climate battery in a greenhouse. We just use one fan, both to pump warm air underground when it's too hot, and then to pump the air through the ground to warm the greenhouse at night. So we need to operate 1 unit, at two different temperatures. For example, between 14C and 25c it's off, above 25c it runs, and below 14c it runs. Can this unit do this?
no, the 308 has one TS setting.The 306T has dual TS settings for what you want but only has a heating function, no cooling. The ITC 312 has dual temp settings and cooling but only available in US version right now. This would allow you to do what you want but you would have the heating and cooling on seperate relays. so poses a problem when using one fan for both heating and cooling. I'd imagine you could wire up a second plug on the fan and build a simple relay circuit which would switch the fan between the two sources depending on which one is active, isolating the non active circuit.
hello,new to the inkbird,i currently have a older fridge for my kegs and bottles..my question is can this be used on a beer fridge or is it meant for a separate unit,i am trying to find info/video on this subject,i have no idea on this thanks..i am sure i could program it but where and how to use the darn thing lol
Well, I dont think we all need the wifi, it will be rare I use it, but some people love it, whether it will work in your shed I dont know, do you get much wifi signal in the shed? Cheers mate!
Hey bro.hope you good..my old water chiller won't stop cooling coz it broken when it comes to switching off the cooling.do you think I could use this to shut the chiller off and on again like it should internally.?
To be honest I dont use it much, its kind of like everytime I nearly do use it, I want to go and check on the beer, make sure its where I want to be etc before the temp change.. Its good for when your away from home and you must have something in the fermenter. Cheers mate!
@@HomeBrewNetwork yeah it's not crucial but it would be handy having a better interface when switching from ferment temp to crash temp. The remote capability is definitely something I would use too. Ahh well, the standard one will do for now.
I’m not excited about this product. I had one that Amazon thankfully replaced. The probe was not reading correctly even though I calibrated it to my digital thermometer. The second one which I got today is more accurate after calibration but still over by around 2 degrees. Perhaps not the best for my veggie grow tent.
Oh bum - it's the IFTTT I want to find out about on these. It's a really simple thing where you can link devices and web things together and create applets on ifttt.com. I want to tamper. I'm a tamperer. Do you know if you can set up scheduling via the app so you could ramp temperatures and stuff? Cheers, Gash. EDIT: Inkbird - send me a bloody 308 wifi and I'll do wonders with it and knock up some mad IFTTT apps for it.
i cannot get this to set on the right temps,i just got it today,driving me nuts,i should buy you a plane ticket so you can help me lol..ever been to Canada lol
Yes I think they are sending them out to everyone, pity I'd bought one already a few months before lol I thought it might be different but it isnt, but will still get used! They work well! Cheers
Thats on special now, only $60 delivered, you wont get the wifi version any cheaper than that I dont think. The normal one goes for around 40 on special. Cheers!
£60 FOR 3 With free delivery and with the added bonus Alexa compatible so I can check the current temps and change if required from the comfort of my bed and I dont have to press any buttons on my phone work smart !!!!!
For growers in tents you will need a dial knob heater not digital.as digital gets turned off by unit it want turn back on.great unit otherwise with phone app
Mine has the wifi light off, then when you press the wifi button it blinks slowly or sometimes rapidly for a few seconds; but it never manages to pair. Absolute fucking garbage. Might as well not whack wifi onto something if you're going to do it this poorly.

Hi,
Can you set temperatures schedules with this? For example you may want more heat in the night and less in the day.
Thanks
Hi, just wanted to know what gauge is the probe, and can this be used as a PID to control the boiler temperature of a still?
How did you connect the Inkbird to smart Life App?

Yo! Quick question. If the blinking dot stops blinking after 10 sec, and never start again after. What might be the problem?
With the differentials that low, do you worry about the hot and cold fighting each other should you be running both together for some reason?
Great explanation. Just wondering can i turn on and off heating without setting the values? Does it have a countdown timer?
Not that I know of. No its all controlled by temperature this model. Cheers!
I've got a egg incubator which I want to connect. Hope that it works.
Does the phone audio alert during high temp alert?
Gday mate do you know if this wifi model would still work if I haven't got my internet connected up yet? Cheers mate and great video🍻

What do you plug in the sockets? A heater to send the temperatures up? And what do u plug in to lower the temp?
I fridge or a glycol system Cheers
Remember to plug your heater into the heating slot
Seems like the link is dead for Aus
I'll have a look
Thanks mate

Oh bum - it's the IFTTT I want to find out about on these. It's a really simple thing where you can link devices and web things together and create applets on ifttt.com. I want to tamper. I'm a tamperer.
Do you know if you can set up scheduling via the app so you could ramp temperatures and stuff? Cheers, Gash.
EDIT: Inkbird - send me a bloody 308 wifi and I'll do wonders with it and knock up some mad IFTTT apps for it.
hahaha I'm guessing you can, not sure why it would be there if you couldnt. Cheers!
Thanks worked great
i cannot get this to set on the right temps,i just got it today,driving me nuts,i should buy you a plane ticket so you can help me lol..ever been to Canada lol
hmmmm I wonder why
Cheers this helped
seems like every man and is dog have got these to review
Yes I think they are sending them out to everyone, pity I'd bought one already a few months before lol I thought it might be different but it isnt, but will still get used! They work well! Cheers
are they worth buying?
I think they are, its up to you whether you want the wifi version or not, we survived years without the wifi one!
Thank you 😁
No problem 😊
I reckon Ill grab one when I see the next deal for them
Thats on special now, only $60 delivered, you wont get the wifi version any cheaper than that I dont think. The normal one goes for around 40 on special. Cheers!
I bought a full price one a few months ago.. think mine cost me 79 bucks back then.. bugger lol
@@HomeBrewNetwork yep you're right. The deal was about $60 a while back. I just had a look
£60 FOR 3 With free delivery and with the added bonus Alexa compatible so I can check the current temps and change if required from the comfort of my bed and I dont have to press any buttons on my phone work smart !!!!!
@@Here-and-there that price for 3 is great
cheers mate!
Cheers bloke!
For growers in tents you will need a dial knob heater not digital.as digital gets turned off by unit it want turn back on.great unit otherwise with phone app
What heater do you suggest?
thank you
You're welcome
Excellent review ............. until 12:12 :-( oh well no one's perfect!
Bluueeeess! :)
Спасибо, очень помогло...
Go the blues!!!
Fudge yeah! hahaha
6:53 WIFI
Watch out people. This controller Does Not work with 5G wifi...
Mine has the wifi light off, then when you press the wifi button it blinks slowly or sometimes rapidly for a few seconds; but it never manages to pair. Absolute fucking garbage. Might as well not whack wifi onto something if you're going to do it this poorly.
Odd plug not U.S
