Q: ITC-308WIFI turns on/off the heating/cooling equipment at TS±0.1. The Cooling Difference Value and Heating Difference Value seem not to be working, nor is the Compressor Delay Time setting. For example, I have both the Cooling and Heating differences set to 3F, and yet if the measured temperature is even 0.1F above or below the Temperature Set Value, the controller begins to try to cool or heat. I know that this is not how it is supposed to function, as I also own and use a standard ITC-308 as well. Also, even though I have the Compressor Delay set to 10 minutes, it immediately turns the cooling on when it is above the set point, it does not factor in a delay at all.
A: Can you check the ITC-308 WIFI(not on application) to see if the settings are saved successfully?
Please note that if you set a TS value, the controller will immediately try to get to that temperature for the first time(regardless of whether it is only +/-0.1 of the TS value), after reaching the temperature, it will follow the settings you have made.
I too have experienced these issues. When the device first is plugged in it uses its factory settings for a second before then loading the user defined settings. For this reason the heater turns on when it should not be but at that point it will not stop until it gets to TS again. So what I did is manually adjust it the TS to the thermometers reading to get it to go away than set it back. That works but after checking it later the heater was on when it should not of. I suspect that this could happen in relation to wifi disconnecting. When that happens it resets and or synchronizes with the app and then repeats turning on the heater before user settings are fully loaded again.
So I have had the same issue, I am not sure you have full resolved the compressor delay issue yet. But I have the regular inkbird-ITC308 hooked up with my kegerator. All of my temperature settings are fine, but my issue is that the compressor delay (10 minutes) only works the first time I program it. Then the next time the temperature reaches the high limit the compressor just kicks on with no delay being factored. So I did what you did manually changing the TS to the current temp and then changing it back and that enabled the compressor delay again. However, not sure if that permanently resolves the issue. I just don’t want to be monitoring this thing all day everyday to make sure the compressor delay is working. I also have a second one thats unopened, so do we think this is a just a faulty inkbird? or is this just the usual problems this thing produces. Thank you
