How to wire in a light switch?

[carrma]

Hi guys,

Long time reader, first time poster.

I have a question about wiring. My mini fridge chamber is done. Just doing the wiring. I got the Inkbird and I modeled my project box design after a post I saw on Amazon in the reviews for the project box I bought:

Scroll down to the pictures posted by S. Ward.

He has a light switch on it, as do I. I want the switch to be able to turn on the light bulb that will be inside the chamber which is also wired to the temperature controller for heating to control fermenting temp. So my question is, does anyone have a diagram for wiring the light to two different switches? The manual switch for providing light when needed, as well as the Inkbird for temp control? I haven't been able to find one yet.

Thanks a million boys and happy beering!

Simple enough: buy a 10A spst switch, wire one pole to the same AC hot (black) wire that operates the controller, wire the other pole to the output of the "heat" relay.

The switch will operate in parallel with that relay...

Cheers!

Thanks for the response.

The problem is I already have a basic house on/off switch cut into the box. Is there any other method?

I have no clue what that actually means.
Draw up your wiring and I'll see if you can make it better...

Cheers!
