Hey everyone,
Being an industrial engineer and not a EE... I need some help. I have a Honeywell RTH110B thermostat and an old computer cable. I would like to combine the two in order to power a small light for heating and a fan inside my fermentation chamber.
The thermostat I believe can handle 24v (not sure on amps) and act as a switch based on temp. The computer power cord has an input of 110-240v (1amp) and output of 19Vcc (2.1amp). Can I splice the output line into the thermostat connections (like hooking up a heater) and then supply a small bulb/fan? Or am I burning doing my house and better off spending the $50 on a controller...
