Is this true?: If the controller is going to operate at less than 77 degrees you need to buy a remote temperature sensor so that it doesn't overcharge

At colder temperatures the solar will produce more power than the rating, however this is only an issue when it gets very cold (like freezing temps), not at room temperatures. If you are very worried about overcharging, go with a MPPT charge-controller.

According to the Troubleshooting section of the instruction manual, the unit will not operate satisfactorily if the temperature is below 41º F. I would imagine that all higher temps are okay unless the unit overheats in extreme temperatures, but that was not mentioned. I hope this helps. Rx

Low temperature feature - continues to operate until temperature reaches 44F (6.6C)

Yes the outside temp, then inside...the rest have to chage manually until update from Colorado..( But DST and 12/24 are manual inputs)

The pad is set for a certain max temp but the controller is basically a rheostat (dimmer switch) that reduces the amount of current going to the pad.

I have mine connected to turn on below 35 degrees, and it works well for me.

I'm not that good of an electrician so I can't truly say, but I can tell you that we love the remote therm. because we can make it control wherever we are. Ours is a small apartment with a loft, so to control just the loft would be cold below and vice-versa, warm on the bottom and really hot upstairs. Hope this helps with your decision, P.S. you can lay the remote anywhwere you want it and call it hardwired, HA, Ha. just kidding.

My guess is that you have the "low temp" value set higher than what it is sensing as the current temperature. I never use the low temp thing so I have it set at 35 degrees and I never have the issue you are describing.

The thermostat will keep the temp. In a safe range. Leaving the unit running to long could cause over heating.

Each time the unit is powered off, when powered back on (which you need to do manually), it starts off at 75 degrees. You then need to adjust it to your preferred setting.

I do recall reading about a remote sensor option. Their customer service was spot on with info when I called.

No just temp settins... you would have to unplug or put it on a switch. maybe a power strip would work for you?

Since this controller works by turning the power to the Crock Pot on and off to reach and maintain a temperature, you could try pulling the power plug on your Crock Pot and then plugging it back in again, which would be essentially what the controller does.

I, too, tested the low temperature alert on mine by putting the unit in the freezer. It worked just fine and the WiFi signal was strong enough to get out of the freezer and find its way to my router. I didn't leave the unit in there very long. I think the only way to find out how it will work for long term usage in a freezer is to give it a try. Batteries don't work well at low temps but you can monitor the battery status remotely. Good luck - I hope it works for you.

I assume that you are aware this is a non-programmable thermostat. That being said, it will kick on at whatever level you set it. So if you want your furnace to kick on at 65 at night, you must manually set it for that temperature. If you want that is the level at which the furnace will run. You must then manually

I would go on line to the company and ask for one. The remote that mine came with only worked for a couple of weeks then it quit. I tossed it out and we just use the switches. Turn on the back power button first then push the front power button to on, then set your temp. Make sure your electrical circuit is large enough to handle this unit. It should have its own plug and heavy duty circuit. If the cord gets warm after using it for a while, your circuit is not heavy enough.

It could have gone bad. Try disconecting and the reconecting your climate controller so it can reprogram itself and see if it starts working.
