The information that comes with the device is not so useful. This device has been used by many people to control espresso machine temperatures. Just use Google, you'll find application notes quicker than I can retrive them from my archives.
But yes, you can use this thing to bring any temperature up to a set point (or down to a set point in cooling mode) and hold that temperature very accurately.
It is a no-brainer if you are using resistance heat. If you are using something like a heat pump, you will have to be intelligent about your approach to avoid short-cycling.
But the applications for this device are only limited by your imagination.
So there should be no problem...
