Fertraso Smart controller 6,5A

A compact manual 6.5 amp speed controller that plugs straight into a socket. With the separate FTS sensor it becomes fully automatic.

Why the form factor matters

Most climate controllers are boxes you mount: you find a spot, you drill, you route cables. This one goes into a socket and you are done.

That sounds like a detail and in practice it decides where you can use it:

• In rented property where you would rather not fix anything to a wall.
• For a temporary setup, such as a propagation tent that stands for two months a year.
• As a second controller you reach for when adding an extra fan.
• As a spare, small enough to keep in a drawer and usable immediately if your main controller fails.

What you give up is tidiness in a permanent installation. A controller hanging out of a socket gets in the way of a power strip, and its cable runs across the floor rather than along a frame. For a permanent setup in a dedicated room, a mountable version is usually more practical.

Manual now, automatic later

Without a sensor you set the speed with the left dial and it stays there. Connect the separate five metre FTS sensor and this becomes a fully automatic temperature-driven controller. So you can start small and expand later without buying a new controller.

Frequently asked questions

Is the sensor included?
No, the FTS sensor is sold separately.

Does it control on temperature?
Only with the sensor connected. Without it you set the speed yourself.

Will it fit behind a power strip?
It takes up room beside the socket. With a crowded strip a short extension lead helps.

What is the maximum load?
6.5 amps. Stay under it with headroom for your motor's startup current.
