Evo Connected III Thermostat (Wi-Fi, alarm)

This controller suits keepers who run several heat, lighting or misting outputs in one setup and want to monitor and adjust each of them from one place. Each channel has its own temperature sensor, so the setup can track conditions even on a channel used for dimming. The unit replaces separate timers and thermostats with one touchscreen controller and a phone app.

Why it matters

• Independent sensor on each channel: every channel has its own IP-rated probe that can monitor temperature, including when that channel controls lighting.
• Control modes for each channel: two channels support pulse and dimming, one is on/off. Timing modes include constant setpoint, day and night settings, eight settings per 24 hours, separate settings for each season, and scheduled output periods.
• Per-channel alarms: heating, overheating and sensor failure alarms can be set on each channel from the app or the touchscreen. An alarm triggers a push notification, a buzzer on the unit, and a colour change of the temperature display.
• Remote monitoring: the app shows real-time data on the main screen, including temperature charts and the current setpoint and output power of every channel.

What it works with

The thermostat fits reptile and amphibian enclosures that need separate control of heating, lighting and misting or sprinkler outputs. Misting and sprinkler devices connect to the on/off channel, which is the only one that supports them. Its 600 W per-channel limit and 1200 W total load set the practical size of the equipment it can drive.
