Wondering if this is a good product on not. I've seen in on lists of needed items but optional. I was able to get it for a very inexpensive price. Thanks for your knowledge and feedback.

I dont have direct experience with this brand, but I did buy a few herpstats… the zoomed looks like a MUCH more affordable unit and with more functionality. I paid hundreds for each herpstat!!

That being said, its a nice luxury but not a necessity. Sounds like you got a steal!

It was an open box deal like 49$ I couldn't pass it up. Hopefully it'll work. I did look into the herpstat and while I'm always looking for a good deal I don't cheap out when it comes to my pets myself sure but my pets are all cared for with golden spoons

Same here went all out, but the herpastat6 with all the sensors , could never get it to work flawlessly always had an issue or a tweak . Ended up going back to mechanical timers. They work best for me. I hate it when the power goes out and I’ve got to reset all of them , but at least I don’t have to worry about it changing the temperature or too much humidity on its own .

I'm looking into manual ones for now. This one looks decent and I can set intervals as well

Me tooooooo! Was quite frustrating after spending so much money and having so much trouble. I was only using iy for basking control - way overkill. I went to kasa programmable surge protector and the herpstats sat in a box since. Now for $50-100, I’d make that purchase and try the zoomed out!

I'm just a wee bit nervous on burning things out. I did list it if it sells awesome if not ill try it!

Yep, those too work awesome . Are usually use the six dollar cheap ones. From Home Depot. They do burn out sometimes but for six bucks. I’ve got extra in a drawer. What I like is, they’re not very complicated. And they have an on and off switch on the side so if I need to turn the light on. Or the fan or the fogger it’s easily done without messing with the timer

That’s so funny , I tried everything went through their website. Talk to the guy on the phone. Some days I come home from work and the fog was going. Could never get the lights to sink. Very frustrating for $500. I thought I was going to have this awesome system. Boy did I learn a lesson
