Ok, so I'm thinking of building a temp controled switch for houshold power outlets. It will be used for heating snake cages. It will have to have an external temp probe and a variable temperature shut off/on range, somewhere between 65 and 90 degrees F. I've looked at several ways of doing it ranging from rigging up air conditioning thermostats all the way to complicated circuits. Ayone have any suggestions on how to do it using what we in the Aircraft Electrician world call the K.I.S.S. (keep it simple stupid) method? I know they make them fairly cheap and I already have one of the said cheat ones. It's highly inaccurate and doesn't even switch on and off half the time. So I would like to make it and know for a fact that's it's a good solid piece of electrcial equipment. Thank you for your time.
