Inkbird ITC-306A WiFi Temperature Controller: Smart Aquarium Thermostat Heater for Maximum Control and Efficiency

Shawn: Super easy to set up and adjust through the inkbird app. This is our second Inkbird controller we are using on a old tank we converted to saltwater. This is a must have!

Mathdawg: I have been using this to control the temperature in my aquarium for the last 2 years. It is easy to setup, I can choose a temperature range that I want for my aquarium. Additionally, the unit will send alarms to my iPhone if the temperature gets too low or too high (these temperatures are adjustable) so you can quickly act to save your fish if the heater fails. I have also received excellent customer service during the time I have used this controller.

Suzanne Atkinson: I have 5 of these total. The older, non wi-fi style I bought used about 2 years ago and it is still working great. The new units Do not work with 2.4G wifi, 5G was not available at the time of purchase.

When they work they work well, after one tank crashed when teh house heat went out and my 50W heater couldn't keep up with the ambient air, I put 2 heaters in every tank, so this unit was great for that secure backup.

However right about 1 year after purchase, 2 of the 4 new ones started malfunctioning, not controlling teh temp properly, alarming at all hours when there was no change in the tank, one of them fried BOTH heaters in my tank, but fortunately the temp probe still worked so I dropped in an new heater and am just using teh (expensive) digital temp probe right now.

I'll keep the other units as long as they work, but will not buy any more of these.

Randyman...: I’ve had issues with fish tank heaters failing - or worse - getting stuck on. Like many others, this has almost resulted in fish death. Luckily, I’ve caught it the few times it’s happened to me before fish were lost.

After the last time this happened a few months ago, I decided to add an upstream heater control, and found this one quickly as it had fantastic reviews.

I like the redundant heat probes with failsafe operation, the 0.1° incremental control, and the Wi-Fi control is really what sold me. It includes a detailed history log so you can go back and see what’s going on with your fish tank over days and weeks.

The temperature logging seemed like a neat feature, however, it was really a big hit with me once I got it. It immediately proved its value. I recently installed a new air conditioner in my room, which has allowed me to keep the room at a constant cooler temperature year-round. Previously, I had issues with ick, which I traced back to wildly fluctuating FishTank temperatures due to wild fluctuations in room temperature. So I would keep the fish tank around 80° so it would maintain that temperature when my room would get hotter on hot days....

StormChaser.StormChaser.: I purchased this about a month ago and wanted to wait a bit before writing a review to get familiarized with this temperature controller.

I purchased this temperature controller along with 2 x 300 watt Eheim heaters to moderate the temperature of my pond during the winter months. Set up was easy. I took the contents out of the box, plugged in the controller and went through the process to get the controller registered with the Inkbird app on our WiFi. After getting that set up, I installed the controller unit beside my pond. And connected the heaters to the controller.

This controller has 2 probes, however the controller averages the temperatures of both probes. If there’s a fault with any of the probes, the controller is supposed to alert of a malfunction. Fortunately, I haven’t encountered this (yet).

I have my pond set between 60 (T1) and 70 (T2) in the app and the controller and heaters do a good job at maintaining the temperature and keeping it within this range.

UPDATE: Almost two years outside on my patio and still going strong! The front of the unit is a bit yellow/brown from sun exposure, but it's still doing its thing! In addition to a...
