You do not need a CoolBot to cool your walk-in cooler with an air conditioner. You just need to understand the functions of the CoolBot and replace those functions with a few much cheaper off-the-shelf parts. With this knowledge you can save hundreds of dollars and still build your own walk-in cooler to effectively store your own vegetables and any other products that require cold storage.

INKBIRD SETTINGS
• The Inkbird that powers the lightbulb should be set to the desired room temperature.
• The lightbulb should be plugged into the "Cooling" port of the Inkbird.
• The cooling differential (cd) setting on the Inkbird is what you adjust to control how much variability there is in the room's temperature. For example, if you set the differential to 1ºC and the control temperature to 4ºC, the lightbulb will power on at 4ºC and remain on until the room has cooled down to 3ºC (a differential of 1ºC). We use a cooling differential of 0.5ºC for both Inkbirds.
• The Inkbird with its sensor in the AC fins should be set as cold as possible without allowing ice buildup on the fins. This will be in the -2ºC to 0ºC range.
• Plug the lightbulb's Inkbird into the cooling outlet of this fin Inkbird.
• The heating differential (hd) settings on both Inkbirds are irrelevant because we are only using the cooling outlets.
