The Moes Smart WiFi Thermostat Outlet is a plug-in temperature controller with separate heating and cooling outlets, driven by a probe that updates its reading every second. You plug a heater, fan, or cooling device into the matching outlet, set your low and high limits, and the controller switches power to hold that range.
It works for backyard greenhouses, fermentation and home brewing, reptile enclosures, and incubation. Each outlet is rated for 10A or 1250W, so match your heater or cooler to that load before you plug it in.

Controlling a Heater or Fan in a Greenhouse, Proofing Box, or Animal Enclosure
If you need to keep a small, enclosed space inside a set temperature band, this controller handles it with two independent outlets. Plug an electric heater into the heating side and a fan or small cooler into the cooling side, and you can manage a hobby greenhouse, indoor grow tent, brew fermenter, or heated animal enclosure from your phone.
The wide temperature range also lets you regulate a seedling heat mat during germination or run a smoker at low temperatures. If you are heating a large barn or high tunnel with equipment that draws more than 1250W, you will need a heavier duty control system.
What to Expect from the Moes Smart WiFi Thermostat Outlet in Real Use
Day to day, this controller does its most dependable work switching a plug-in heat source on and off to keep a room or enclosure in range. Verified buyers have paired it with oil-filled radiators to hold a room and an insulated cattery at steady temperatures, used it with a small heater inside a garage fridge to stay above freezing, and built a sourdough proofing box around it.
A home cook ran an electric smoker below 100°F to cold smoke sausage. Remote monitoring and the low and high alerts get steady praise, and it connects to Home Assistant through Tuya Local, which reports temperature in Celsius at a 0.1 scale.
Plan around a few tradeoffs. Two purchasers, including a greenhouse grower running heaters and fans, found that once an outlet turns on it can keep running until the opposite setpoint is reached, so a heater may push toward your high limit.
A narrow band and a second thermometer help, and another owner power cycles it with an Alexa routine. It may need unplugging to rejoin WiFi after a router reset, and the plastic probe sheath limits use inside hot cookers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Moes WiFi thermostat run a heater and a fan at the same time?
Yes. It has one heating outlet and one cooling outlet, each rated for 10A or 1250W. The heating outlet powers on when the temperature drops to your low setpoint, and the cooling outlet powers on when it climbs to your high setpoint, so you can leave both devices connected year round. Once an outlet turns on, it may stay on until the opposite setpoint is reached, so keeping a narrow gap between your low and high settings reduces overshoot.
Does the Moes thermostat work with Home Assistant?
Yes. The controller runs on the Smart Life app, which uses the Tuya platform, so you can bring it into Home Assistant for monitoring and dashboards. If you use the Tuya Local integration, you will need to identify the device's data point IDs, and temperature is reported in Celsius at a 0.1 scale, meaning a value of 250 equals 25°C. It also works with Alexa and Google Home for voice control and routines.
Can you use the Moes thermostat without the app or WiFi?
Yes. You can set the low and high temperatures and toggle the buzzer with the buttons on the unit itself. The Smart Life app requires creating a user account and adds remote control, temperature history, and range alerts. If your router restarts, you may need to unplug the controller and plug it back in to restore its WiFi connection.
