I need a new heater and was looking at the Finnex 500 it can be controlled. the controller specs are:

Controller Specifications:
Operating Voltage: 100V~120V/50~60Hz
Control Range: 72~93ºF
Accuracy: +/-2ºF
Max. Load: 800W
Load Fuse: 10 Amp

I assume the RA meets these specs? Anyone use these? Any good?

I think that means it comes with a controller... looking at the picture it has a controller attached. So basically you would just use the RA to back it up in case it went wonky and got stuck. What I do is set my controller on my heater a little higher than I want and let RA turn it on/off...

Thanks Lee. The heater can be bought with out the show controller. I did some digging around and they used the DA and Apex as an example of "other" controllers that can be used.

Yeah, up to you which you use I prefer to have both as backup.
