I'm making a temperature controller for a water kettle that has no temperature controls. I'd like to use a thermocouple since it's solid and can be attached to the removable lid. I've connected a thermocouple to an XH-W1219, but all I get is HHH. It looks like the NTC sensor isn't understanding the thermocouple. Since I prefer Fahrenheit I've ordered, and still waiting for, the W1209WK. What can I add, or do, to get the NTC sensor to recognize a thermocouple? When connecting the thermocouple to the NTC sensor plug I tried connecting it one way, then tried swapping the wires, so if there's a negative and positive I wouldn't have gotten it backward. Nothing, still HHH. I've come to the assumption that it's possible because searching Amazon for "thermocouple temperature controller" I saw an Inkbird kit with a thermocouple.
Both the XH-W1219 and W1209WK run from 12VDC, so I'm using a 12 5A power supply.
Can anyone give me an idea of what to research to make NTC sensor to thermocouple possible?
Thanks in advance.
