I have a Ranco single controller. It has a couple heaters plugged into it in case my controller has a fit, and it's set 1 degree lower than the controller.
I've had it for 3 years now and it's still accurate.
Only thing I don't like about it is it's lack of decimal points so I can match it to my controller.

Having everything on one controller is so much easier to program. Alarms can be set amongst components etc. But then you have 1 piece to fail, so you have to set rules for on/off if the controller loses contact with the power bars.

Ok then someone might have to break down the different models of the apex for me then.

What is this Apex lite? I can't find it any where. Apex jr, Apex, Apex gold, Apex lab.
