Temp Controlled Shut Off Switch 120v

[D19]

I am looking for a switch that I can program to shut power off when it reaches a certain temp. Kind of like a gable fan switch but reversed. Any recommendations?

eBay 15$ little digital box. I use in my car. Garage. House to turn on fans when I had wall furnace.

Home Depot sells a T stat switch. I think the range is 90-150. It’s mechanical not digital.

120 volt tstat switch

Edit. Sorry saw you want off not on. You can always wire through a relay to achieve what you want.

Is said sensor reading air temp? Or something else?

Air temp. I want my EZGO charger to shut off when the garage reaches a certain temp.

HD has those?

While I have electrician’s attention, where can I get this light switch? I want one. I saw it at gym, are they 277?

Meh. Just buy one of these guys and program it will your phone to only turn at night. You can turn it on and off from your phone as well.

Ten bucks and your done.

It's a Lithonia switch that's used with one of it's lighting control systems. It's low voltage and used in conjunction with an
appropriate system.

Simple solution, do a mini split AC in the garage.

 

[Taboma]

In regards to your T-stat question. You're wanting an "Open on Temp Rise" AKA a Heating Thermostat. What you need to be careful of is it's amp rating for Non-Resistive loads. I know my old golf cart charger can easily draw over 10 amps input at 120V. Here's an example that might work for you. Otherwise just google the Open on Rise heating T-Stat. Might take some additional homework to get the amp rating specs.

I've got one of their units that I'll be using to turn the generator in my RV on/off to run the AC based on temperature.

what the hell you asking? charger to to turn and off with temp? certain times of year you wont charge nothing

This is the RDP answer we were looking for

Be careful there, most golfcart battery chargers kick into charge mode for an hour or 2 when they are 1st plugged in, and then start monitoring charge level. Older ones are especially bad about this. Will overcharge and kill a battery pack in short order.

like it, (kiss) OR smart home wifi sockets, switches, lighting, auto temp/humidity compensation percentage, with auto beer capability

Lol. Working on it... Hangar is air conditioned. Well insulated and never gets over 90 inside w/o AC on, but we don't want to open hangar door eveytime to use the cart.

When the inside of garage hits say for example 100 degrees, I don't want the charger on. So I would want it to cut power at a set temp.

Hence "Open on temp rise" -- like a T-stat design for a heating load. From what I've seen, the price goes up accordingly with both max temp above 90 degrees, and max amp load capacity.

What an idiot I am! LoL

I got a brand new charger with the safety / trickle / maintain settings like the boat. Just don't want it running in the heat. Manual says not to use over 105 degrees.

Not a bad idea, I just know I'll forget about it. Lol

That's the whole point...

Set it and forget it.

but your asking for dead zone times we dont know, your charging wont happen at all if you dont know the perameters that might be needed, $35 dollor timer from ace, hd , keep it simple

So what about a timer, something like you’d use for a lamp when not home. So it only runs from 8pm till 8am

What?!?! You read the manual????
This should work for you. Set it to heat to 100 deg. Way simpler than the solution I had brewing in my head.

after much thought, thats my final fix suggestion, normal timers won't handle the amprage, but they do make 120/240 water heater timers that will!!!!

Exactly, just use the Normally closed side of the contactor, when the temp hits and energizes the relay the circuit will open (turn off)

Or maybe more like 5:00 am to 5:15 am

Ya for sure in the summer months!!

I ordered this. I'll set it to shut off at 100 degrees and see how it works out.
