my elf2 is running single room, I have two ecm1 modules, at lights out, module turns on intake heater, but can it be regulated via the temp2 sensor probe?

so once lights go out & temps lover the temp2 sensor tells ecm1 module to turn on, once temps are higher temp2 sensor turns off ecm1 module & heater turns off?

I know I can run the heater from a separate temperature probe & ecm1 module will be on once lights off, I just thought is it possible if temp2 sensor can regulate it..

cheers.

EL controllers are not reliable, find an industrial electrician who can build/program a PLC to do the same with more options.

The internal battery sometimes fails and all settings are lost, Gavita I think rectified and changed the battery.

I did read about that, but I don't get power outages. so if gavita changed out the battery & I don't get power outages, am I good to go? as I realy like the features.
