It doesn't have any kind of 'learning' ability, liked PID controllers. It doesn't have the ability to do a delayed start.

It can be used for cooling or for heating through a menu selection.

Apparently, it was designed for controlling a peltier cooler or heater that needs no consideration as to delayed start. It has a relay output and inductive loads will probably shorten the relay life.

It is simple and cheap and works.
