I used this kit in order to add a digital temperature readout as well as more controllability to a heat press I was working on. It has many parameters you can adjust and seems to be reading quite accurate for my project. The instructions have a lot to be desired, however a YouTube search should help you get wired up and going!

This PID temperature controller is highly accurate and reliable, providing precise temperature control for various applications. Whether used for industrial purposes, in laboratories, or for home brewing, the controller maintains stable temperatures with minimal fluctuations. The PID algorithm effectively minimizes overshoot and maintains the desired temperature with high precision, which is crucial for processes requiring exact temperature control.

I used this PID controller to manage the temperature on my home-built heat treating oven for knife making, and it has worked like a charm. It’s a straightforward, easy-to-use controller that delivers accurate temperature control, which is essential for consistent results in heat treating.While it doesn’t have advanced features like ramping, it’s perfect for my needs as a basic temperature controller. Once set up, it maintains a stable temperature with minimal fluctuation, which is great for knife-making projects where precision matters.Overall, I recommend this PID controller for anyone looking for a reliable, affordable option for temperature control on DIY ovens or similar projects. It’s been a valuable addition to my workshop!

Very poor documentation/instructions to start with.I got this to use as a the PID for a Cerakote oven. I got it all working well, connected to a timer and the temp reading seems accurate at ambient temp (when it's between 50F and 75F). But when I have it driving the element and the temp starts raising, the higher the temp the wider the accuracy gap.I had 2 other TCs independently connected to a different controller to compare with this one - This one reads 300F when 2 other TCs are not reading more than 260F.That's way too much variance and way more than advertised/documented tolerance.Is it a bad TC? Is it bad controller? I don't know, but this is too cheap for me to spend the time troubleshooting - this one is being returned and I will replace by another one. I will update my review if the other one works better than this one. If it doesn't work either, I will return it as well and just get a different brand PID.

I went through 3 of the black supplied relays and 3 other controllers and about pulled my hair out trying to figure out the problem, put on a white one that I had and bingo , worked like a charm, unreal they don’t even know what they are selling .. They just don’t work together

Bought item to replace a Partlow. Did not initially work for my application. That was my fault. I didn't realize that I needed an on/off switch style pid. This must be used with a relay. In my case, a 12v relay, which is not very common. Supplied (24v) relay didn't work for my natural gas cooker and was sent into 00000 limp mode. Long story short, I got it to work by connecting to the alarm terminals, instead of the output terminals and adjusting the "alarm" to trigger within 7⁰ drop in temp. So alarm is on instantly to fire the burner and shuts off when it reaches 190⁰ and comes back on when temp drops to 182⁰-183⁰. Works perfectly now, but is not intended to be used like that. However, I couldn't pull out my $1200 honeywell...and I needed a quick fix to get up and running again. If you need a on/off switch style pid, get a pid with 16 terminals...or this exact pid, but with an "M" in the model name, instead of a "V". Only down side, is this only reads in Celsius and cannot be switched to Fahrenheit. 4 stars for Celsius, because I've never seen a pid that can't switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit. But then again, it was only $20. And a new Partlow is $650. Overall, I'm pleased with the purchase.
