Where can I buy this type of receptacle? I have tried a google search, but don't know what they are called so my search was helpless. I am going to copy the controller. I have bought the actual controller, now I need the receptacles.

I'd much rather buy a complete unit. But the guy is doing them as a hobby. He sells out very fast. Last group of 100 sold out in 4 minutes. I can't wait for the next feeding frenzy.

The controller is used as a temp controller for a fermentation chamber for homebrewing. I've made them with the same controller before. But as they are purchased they only work in Celsius. I had a chart for the Fahrenheit conversion. But it was a bit of a pain to always have to "think" about what the temp was after conversion. I know not a big deal but WTF.

So the cool thing this guy does is to reprogram the controller with an Arduno so that it works in *F. Then he makes the complete unit and sells them to homebrewers. He sells them cheap enough that everyone wants to buy a complete unit rather than DIY. I waited for a couple months for them before I went this way. I hate to copy a guys work. But he did a great job on it. Better than my last. I just cut in a regular old 120v receptacle. Worked, but not as "clean" looking. He did sell me a couple reprogrammed controllers though. I'll just have to build the box and wire them up.

There are others on the market, but always much more expensive. I like to DIY and given up waiting. So I'll build a couple more so I can get back to brewing.
