I have a controller that we did a group buy for parts. I think PEI Beerguy put them together (sorry if I have that wrong).

A buddy does the old timer trick turning it on 1/2 hour every 2-4 hours and "tweaking" it in.

I followed the guide in hoptomology and the controller has been keeping a small chest freezer running between 2-4C for about a year now. I have never done any wiring previously and found the job to be very straight forward.

Pretty sure that Dave sells the same controller now too. Would save you having to wait about a month to get one from china.

I think Dave is or has ordered an all in one gadget that you dont have to wire yourself , just like the STC ones but prewired in a box plug and play easy kind of thing
