Well guys I promised to give an update when I got it all put together..... So
The UCS-221 controller finally showed up. It was pretty simple to calibrate. Since I already had the Solid State Relay and had it wired and mounted in my control box, I just used the controller board with the 24vdc...
Very true indeed!
I plan to use a timer on the CO2 so it doesn't run at night. I hadn't considered the exhaust to be a problem since it seldom gets triggered, but now that you bring it up I may have to consider a way to disable the CO2 while it's exhausting.... Yes I own a solder iron, can use...
Wow... sounds like I would need to go to night school for a semester or 2 just to get it set up. ;)
But thanks for input never the less. I saw somewhere in my Google wanderings a greenhouse automation computer system. But my goodness the price tag was out of this world! Orchids are just a hobby...
So far all my replies have been negative. One of the sellers I asked if they could get the C700 with a specific model# and the reply I got back was "it's 240v". Alrighty then!
So I found a UCS-221 on ebay for $25 + shipping. I think I'm just going to get that and wing it from there. Blowing on...
Just an update for you Dave....
So far I am having trouble locating a source for either the C900 or C700 with the specs you mentioned. There are an abundance of them with the "K" input, but the "801" is a bit more rare. I have a few emails out and am waiting for replies.
I did come across this...
Dave -
Thanks for the info! I will do my research and see if I can find 1 of these units.
I am most grateful for your efforts. Thank you very much!
Cheers!

IRstuff - I took a look at the link you provided.... have you ever been driving on a mountain road at night, came across a deer in the road? You know that look the deer gives you? If you could only see my face now ;)
A quick Google search for "PID controller" yielded many, although most all...
Dave,
Thanks for the fast reply. Sorry if i seem a little dense. If it takes a hammer to get the job done, I'm your man! If it takes electronic finesse... uh well that's why I'm here ;)
Let me explain what my goal is and them maybe you can advise a better solution. I have a small greenhouse I...

Hi BFuddled,
Kele has a device (UCS-121 or UCS-221) that does this trick, and if you need to scale the input, there is a UAT-1 that can do that too.
Have a look, the web is www.kele.com, and it's in the product catalog under output...
