I need help with temperature control.
I have a 1500w digital heater on a 1100w inkbird 308t temp controller and it is not coming on to the set temperature.
What's the problem and what do I do next

Some digital heaters don’t return to the last setting (or even turn on) after a power loss.

There are 3 things you must check everyday when growing in hydro:
1) Water level (How much h2o is she drinking in 24hrs)
2) pH level (change over 24hrs)
3) ppm/EC level (How much food is she eating in 24hrs)

I'm with YY here. Digital appliances do not work with controllers whether digital or mechanical, won't turn back on. Also why are you using a 1500 w appliance with an 1100 w controller? That could be a recipe for disaster! Heater or any appliance should be less wattage than controller!
