Anyone using these Inkbird PID"S

Was looking to start making my control panel and this popped up on Amazon. Not gonna lie that is a massive difference, could by a few extra as backups and still come out on top vs the SYL-2352's Anyone ever use these and if so what was the response?

Thanks

I've got one, I haven't used anything else but I have no complaints. Seems to do everything I need so far.

I didn't use the k-type thermocouple in there, and instead am using a PT100 with 1/2" NPT threads

The inkbird ITC-106vh would be a better choice since it has Fahrenheit readout and a manual mode for an even boil control...

that or the MYPIN TD4 SNR which I have used many times and never had an issue.

I will point out that the EZBOIL units are superior in many ways with built in timers/alarms and mash and boil modes.. plus they use a different pid formula which works much better to control temps than any pid.

I eventually went the route of a $12 arduino and BRUCONTROL for my latest control panel which controls everything from my fermenter temps to brew panel all on a windows pc. Its not for everyone but it your the type that will likely expand your system down the road it a more cost effective system and really does have a lot of advantages..

Ahhh those part numbers are life savers. I think I might go with the MYPIN, does that one have a manual control for boil?

yes. the tn4 does not the ta4

Do you mean the TD4 has the manual mode and not the TA4? I couldn't find a TN4.

Yes, my apologies... I mistyped.

I also use the same set up cheap and simple. Works good.

and it's cheaoer.

As I mentioned above it also has manual mode for the boil control which the other model lacks. Its basically the td4 equivalent
