Plug socket thermostat with external temperature sensor – precise temperature control for heating and cooling
This plug-in thermostat with external sensor is the ideal solution for automatic temperature control of electrical devices. With a 2-meter long sensor cable and an adjustable temperature range of 5-30°C, you can precisely control heaters, cooling devices, or fans according to the actual room temperature – simple, reliable, and energy-efficient.
Unlike simple timers, this thermostat reacts to the actual temperature at the measuring location. The external sensor can be placed flexibly – ideal for terrariums, greenhouses, cellars, frost protection, or anywhere precise temperature control is required.
When is this plug-in thermostat the right choice?
This thermostat is especially the right solution when you want to control electrical devices based on temperature without complicated installations. Simply plug it between the socket and device, set the desired temperature – done.
The external temperature sensor with a 2-meter cable allows measuring the temperature exactly where it matters – not at the socket, but at the actual place of use. This guarantees precise control and prevents overheating or underheating.
Technical features and advantages
The plug-in thermostat operates with an analog rotary control for temperature setting in the range of 5-30°C. The operation is intuitive and requires no programming – ideal for anyone looking for a straightforward solution.
The external temperature sensor with a 2-meter cable can be positioned flexibly and measures the temperature precisely at the desired location. The thermostat automatically switches connected devices on or off as soon as the set temperature is exceeded or fallen below.
With a switching capacity of 230V, the device is suitable for most electric heaters, fans, cooling devices, and other temperature-dependent applications in households, hobbies, or commercial use.
Areas of application
The plug-in thermostat with external sensor is suitable for a wide range of applications:
- Terrariums and aquariums: Precise temperature control for reptiles, amphibians, and tropical fish
- Greenhouses: Automatic control of fan heaters or frost guards
- Cellars: Frost protection through automatic switching on of heating devices
- Storage rooms: Temperature control for sensitive goods and materials
- Garages and workshops: Demand-based heating without energy waste
- Conservatories: Automatic heating control based on outside temperature
- Cooling devices: Temperature-dependent control of fans and coolers
- Incubators: Constant temperature maintenance for breeding projects
Heating and cooling – versatile use
The plug-in thermostat can be used for both heating and cooling applications:
Heating mode: The thermostat switches the heater on when the temperature falls below the set value and off when the target temperature is reached. Ideal for frost protection, terrariums, or supplementary heating.
Cooling mode: The thermostat switches on fans or cooling devices when the temperature rises above the set value. Perfect for server rooms, storage rooms, or overheated rooms in summer.
Installation and commissioning
Installation is very simple and requires no electrical expertise:
- Plug the socket thermostat into the socket
- Place the temperature sensor at the desired measuring location (2m cable length)
- Plug the electrical device (heater, fan, etc.) into the thermostat socket
- Set the desired temperature on the rotary control
- Done – the thermostat now regulates automatically
No programming, no complicated menus – just set and let it run. The analog operation makes the device especially reliable and durable.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use the thermostat for heaters and cooling devices?
Yes, the thermostat is universally applicable. Depending on the application, it switches when the set temperature is undershot (heating) or exceeded (cooling).
How accurate is the temperature control?
The analog thermostat regulates the temperature with an accuracy of about ±1-2°C. For most applications such as terrariums, greenhouses, or frost protection, this precision is completely sufficient.
Where should I place the temperature sensor?
Place the sensor where you actually want to measure the temperature – e.g., on the floor in the terrarium, near the plants in the greenhouse, or in the coldest spot in the basement. Avoid direct sunlight or drafts at the sensor.
What is the maximum power I can connect?
The thermostat is designed for 230V mains voltage. Please refer to the technical data for the maximum switching capacity. The device is suitable for most fan heaters, infrared heaters, and fans in household use.
Is the thermostat suitable for outdoor use?
No, the plug-in thermostat is designed exclusively for indoor use. However, the sensor can be used in protected outdoor areas such as greenhouses or covered terraces.
Do I need to program the thermostat?
No, operation is purely analog via a rotary knob. Simply set the desired temperature – the thermostat regulates automatically. No programming, no menus, no complicated settings.
Can I connect multiple devices at the same time?
You can plug a power strip into the thermostat to control multiple devices simultaneously. However, make sure that the total power does not exceed the maximum switching capacity of the thermostat.
How long is the sensor cable?
The sensor cable is 2 meters long, providing sufficient flexibility for most applications. The sensor can be freely positioned in the room or in terrariums/greenhouses.
Is the thermostat suitable for terrariums?
Yes, the plug-in thermostat is ideal for terrariums. The external sensor can be placed directly inside the terrarium while the thermostat remains outside. This allows precise temperature control for reptiles and amphibians.
Practical examples of use
Example 1 – Terrarium heating: You keep bearded dragons and need a constant floor temperature of 28°C. Connect your heating mat to the thermostat, place the sensor on the terrarium floor, and set it to 28°C. The thermostat automatically maintains the temperature – day and night.
Example 2 – Greenhouse frost protection: Your greenhouse should remain frost-free. Set the thermostat to 5°C and connect a frost guard. As soon as the temperature falls below 5°C, the heater switches on automatically to prevent frost damage to your plants.
Example 3 – Basement dehumidification: Your basement is too damp and cool. Connect a fan heater and set it to 18°C. The thermostat ensures a constant temperature and prevents mold formation caused by moisture.
Example 4 – Server room cooling: Your small server room overheats in summer. Connect a fan and set it to 25°C. As soon as the temperature rises, the fan switches on automatically and cools the room.
Safety instructions
Important safety instructions for operation:
- For indoor use only
- Do not exceed maximum switching capacity

Why a socket thermostat with external sensor?
Unlike thermostats with integrated sensors that only measure the temperature directly at the socket, the external sensor allows precise measurement at the actual point of use. This is especially important when:
- The socket is far from the area to be heated/cooled
- The temperature is to be measured in a closed area (terrarium, cabinet)
- The socket is mounted on a wall where the temperature is not representative
- Precise control is required for temperature-sensitive applications
With 2 meters of cable length, you can practically reach every measuring point in your environment and achieve significantly better control results than with fixed sensors.
Alternative applications
In addition to the classic areas of application, there are numerous creative uses:
- Wine storage: Constant temperature for optimal wine maturation
- Cheese aging: Precise temperature control for hobby cheesemakers
- Mushroom cultivation: Optimal growth conditions through temperature regulation
- Seed germination: Constant warmth for rapid sprouting
- Aquaponics systems: Temperature regulation for plants and fish
- Home brewing: Temperature control during fermentation
- Model making: Constant temperature during painting and drying
- Photo lab: Temperature control for developer baths

| Criterion | Plug-in thermostat | Permanently installed |
|---|---|---|
| Installation | Plug & Play | Electrician required |
| Costs | Low | High (including installation) |
| Flexibility | Mobile use | Permanently mounted |
| Commissioning | Immediately | After installation |
