Evo Connected II Thermostat (Wi-Fi, alarm)

This thermostat suits keepers who need to control two heat or lighting outputs from one unit and monitor both from a phone. It combines a larger, brighter capacitive touchscreen with a Wi-Fi connection, so settings can be checked and changed on the device or remotely.

Why it matters

• Two independent channels: one channel offers pulse/dimming control and the other offers on/off switching, so different types of equipment can be run from the same unit.
• A probe on each channel: every channel has its own waterproof temperature probe, which can still monitor temperature when that channel is used for lighting control.
• Per-channel alarms: each channel has separate alarms for overheating, heating failure and sensor failure. An alarm triggers a push notification on the phone, a buzzer on the touchscreen, and a color change of the temperature display.
• Remote monitoring: one app for iOS and Android can link multiple Connected thermostats and shows real-time data, temperature charts, and the current setpoints and output power of each channel.

What it works with

The unit is designed for hobbyist reptile, amphibian and fish setups where heat or lighting must be regulated on separate outputs. The dimming/pulse channel suits heating or lighting equipment that needs gradual control, while the on/off channel is the only one that supports sprayers and foggers. The total output of 1200 W, with a maximum of 600 W per channel, sets the limit for the equipment that can be connected.
