It's amazing, isn't it.
It'll probably mean I'll end up with some OCD about PID tweaking but hopefully it'll push some of the other madnesses out of the door for a while. Yay!

Customer Service from them is top class. My 2 year old Inkbird started reading crazy temperatures so I contacted to see whether there was a way to do a “hard reset”, and they offered to send me a new probe FOC!

Any ITC-100 winners out there the pt100 probe has no Y clamps, just the red and silver wires. You've got to change the Sn setting on the unit to 21, short pin 5 to pin 4 (V of paper clip, wire, whatever) and then attach the red to pin 4 and silver to pin 3. It's polarity agnostic but convention makes me want red being +ve on pin 4.
Mine's reading a bit high so I'll have to calibrate - but yay, time for some mekkin about.
In case someone's wondering about the power supply that is polarity agnostic. I ran it all the way down to 5 volts and it still worked. 4.5 volts and when the relay clicks in it turns itself off until the relay releases, then repeats. So you could hack a USB phone charger to run it, but if you've got the relay version make sure it does still allow the relay to work.

Mine arrived today. Thanks again to the sponsors, Inkbird. Will be building another heated brew cupboard, and also using one to control the temperature of my HLT.
