I set up a new inkbird 308 wifi (so I can monitor while away from home)
The weather where I lived dropped to minus 4 last night and the internet has had an outage (still not up 14 hours later)
There is a tubular heater set up to provide back ground ambient air heat in a hibernation pit for my 6 tortoise!
My question is .. Will the heater be off if there is no wifi. I am away from home and I have asked my elderly parent to unplug the heater from the INKBIRD and attach it to a manual extension - they sent me a photograph and the INKBIRD still showed electric was in place!
Very worried tortoise keeper ☹

Hello,
Please don’t worry, if the ITC-308-WIFI experiences a Wi-Fi disconnection, it will still operate according to the last settings. It just won’t be able to view its data through the INKBIRD app.
