Inkbird ITC-306A Temperature Controller
Specs & Requirements
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Model | Inkbird ITC-306A |
| WiFi | 2.4GHz only — will not connect to 5GHz |
| App | INKBIRD+ (iOS and Android) |
Setup
- Ensure phone is connected to a 2.4GHz WiFi network (not 5GHz) before pairing
- Put device in pairing mode (hold button per manual)
- Open INKBIRD+ app → Add device → follow pairing wizard
- Enter 2.4GHz WiFi credentials in app — do not attempt to connect to 5GHz SSID
Known Issue — App Not Functioning After WiFi Connect
Status: INCOMPLETE — resolution not confirmed
Symptom: Device connects to WiFi successfully but INKBIRD+ app still does not function correctly (cannot control or read device).
Troubleshooting steps to try:
- Close and fully restart INKBIRD+ app
- Check if a firmware update is available in the app
- Try re-pairing: remove device from app → factory reset device → re-add
- Try a different phone if available
- Check if router has AP isolation enabled (would prevent app ↔ device communication even on same network)
Configuration (Once App Working)
Set temperature probe calibration offset if probe reads inaccurately. Configure heating/cooling setpoints appropriate for the tank species being controlled.
