Now that some folks are checking in on this thread for the moment, does anyone remember the cutout size for the controller?

I didn't measure it. I laid the removable back-panel from the controller on the project box, traced it, and then started cutting,

But... a few posts back, "ben the brewman" posted links to the pre-cut boxes he is selling on ebay. I'm betting he would know the size.

If you've got a soldering iron laying around, tinning those leads will go a long ways in protecting them from breaking off over time.

the neutral you have sticking from pin #2 (the left-most white wire in the pic) should be connected to the terminal strip with the other white wires.

Ok, well I take that back. You *can* connect it to the outlet since it will ultimately be connected to the other white wire.

but, if you've got the terminal strip, you might as well use it, right?
