Heat and Humidity control?

[Jaycesickchild]

Hey everyone. Just wondering if any1 has a recomemdation for a good and reliable heat and humity controler for my panther chameleon's freerange setup. It would be a real big help to be able to set a desired humidity and heat setting and have that be constant when i am gone. Since is winter and my house temp is in constant flux it has me worried everytime i leave my home.

Thanks for the help!

Well you don't want the humidity to be the same at all times, it's better when it goes up when misting and drops again after that's natural and as for your heat isn't that right anyway? Then you won't have to change it

I have a Digital aquatics Herpkeeper. It controls humidity, lighting, temperature, and moon-lighting. I'm not entirely happy with the device. The humidity probe is a combo thermometer/hygrometer and isn't designed for damp environments making it virtually useless inside an enclosure. On the plus side it can be upgraded to controll room heaters and cooling, and it can have the ability to email you if something goes wonky.

It also has seasonal lighting allowing varying daylight times and also allows for night temp drop

There is Ecozone vivarium's controller that can controll heat, light, humidity, and misting. It's also capable of sunrise and sunset using incandescent and special flourescent lights. It also has temp drop, moon simulation, and seasonal variances. And it has network connectivity built in.

Similarly equipped systems run 300 to 400 dollars.

Honestly I would go with Ecozone. And they are a Cham forums sponcer.

Sorry my bad. The description i gave was pretty vague. As for humidity i was looking for something to keep it within a range. For example between 50% and 80%. That way when humidity dips below 50% it will activate the misting system to go off every hour as i have set, but if it passes 80% it will shut off. Same for the heat. Just as long as the temp and humidity doesnt dip below my desired minimum or maximum while im gone.

WOW system u have set up seems pretty cool minus the humidity hick-up.
But i love the ability it has to email you if anything were to go wrong.
Also love the night time sunset and sunrise feature.

I do something similar to this, but i have to do it manualy. :'(
I absolutly hate using a timer the either kicks everything on or shuts everything off all @ once. I would really like to give my cham that natural setting but not have to worry about doing it myself every morning and night.

I will check out the ecozone you recomended. If these features are available or achievable with the ecozone i will deff pick one up. Thanks.!
