Hi everyone! I am looking for a thermostat to hook up to my heat source that can do different day time/ night time temps, but also know when those should be turned on...

I ordered a ketotek that says it should do that, but the instructions are all in Chinese and its in °c and 24 hour setting and I can't figure the silly thing out.... feeling kind of defeated and annoyed lol.

Hoping for something easier I guess...
My house gets cold this time of year so I really need that supplemental heating, but it's it's pain to switch the temp setting every day and night.

Please help!!! Lol

Here in the UK I use a habistat 600w Day / night / timer thermostat. It can be used in both C and F formats for whatever preference you have. Think you'll find most of them use the 24 hour format now.

For the day cycle my thermostat is set from 8am to 9pm and then switches over to the night cycle for the time in between.

The timer powers my lighting and is set the same as the day cycle.

If you live in the UK then the thermostat I've suggested is really good quality but if you are in the US then sadly I dont think its available there

Yea, the problem I'm having is that a lot of the ones I'm finding don't have a programmable timer, they work on sensing light, and that's not going to work for what I need... it's frustrating lol.

Here is what he responded w/

The herpstat has served me well. That's a good answer to the UK habistat. They are programmable for time and for temperature.
