Extending Inkbird Temp Probe

[dangles]

Has anybody done this? Inkbird sells replacement probes but not the dual probes (at least that I’ve found). I have this one:

Inkbird Aquarium Temperature Controller Series Digital Thermostat

Inkbird aquarium series temperature controller is specially designed for aquariums. The controller probes of the series are all aquarium probes. To meet special needs, the main body can be selected from ITC-306A, 308-WIFI, 308S and 306T.

Even if I had the single probe version a replacement of the same length wouldn’t do me any good.

You can do it by splicing in additional wire , just remember to cut it well away from any exposure to moisture.

As for the precision, I did not notice any difference.

As for Inkbird in general, other issues drove me away from them but the probe extension did work for me.

These pictures are from when I replaced my probe but the principle is the same.
