Or are they more plug n Pay than Plug n Play? I am having issues w my 33 gallon Nano and the Sicuan heater I have is placed in the rear sump area but for whatever reason I have it set @ 24C, and the tank s like 81 Fahrenheit. I do not know why this is, at the ambient temperature is around 76 degrees. So I am thinking about an Inkbird as they are on sale at BR but I am seeing mixed reviews like they are difficult to setup with with apps etc. So I am not sure if I want to purchase a headache. But then, I need to tightly control my water temp because I am developing a Nem tank.

Thanks!

There is a way to correct the display and temp reading but I don't remember exactly how it's in the distructions if you have them still

I use the non Wi-Fi version. It took about 10 minutes to set up and works without any additional attention. I clean the temp sensor about once a month just to make sure any buildup doesn't prevent correct readings
