How the W1209 Thermostat Works

The W1209 digital thermostat uses a built-in NTC thermistor sensor to measure temperature. Based on the user’s programmed setpoint, the onboard relay is triggered to either turn on or turn off the connected device (heater, cooler, fan, etc.).

Users can adjust:

• Set Temperature – Desired activation point.

• Hysteresis – Range around the setpoint to avoid frequent switching.

• Calibration – Fine-tune readings for accuracy.

• Delay Start – Prevents short-cycling of connected devices.

This makes the W1209 an extremely versatile controller that can adapt to many different use cases.
