Ok you can see all the details of my enclosure here https://tortoiseforum.org/threads/it-has-begun-outdoor-enclosure-build.153194/page-4#post-1548225
I mostly followed @Tom 's nightbox design with a few extras I've seen on other threads.
I have this heater
Optimus H-6003 Portable Oil Filled Radiator Heater, Mini, 16 x 6 x 15 inches https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MXEDAV2/?tag=exoticpetnetw-20
I have this thermostat
Inkbird Temperature Controller 306 Pre-Wired Dual Stage Thermostat & Timer Time Switch Only Heating for Reptile, Seedling Heating Mat, Germination,Planting ect.AC 100~240V,1200W https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01FTQ669S/?tag=exoticpetnetw-20
The issue is that I can see it on my nest camera turning on and off (via the light on the front panel) even when the temp is well below the setting on the thermostat controller. It's like there is a safety shutoff or something on the heater. In reading the reviews I found one similar review that noted this. Has anyone else had this? This size heater should be plenty to heat the enclosed area but not if it's not running when the thermostat tells it to and keeps shutting itself off.
Ideas??
