I have looked at the Helix and the Herpstat, but i was wondering with the herpstat 1 for example if you can just plug in an outlet multiplier for different heat sources? I know it is only built for one outlet so plugging in multiple is always gonna increase the possibility for a problem. I was just wondering if its possible to use with my fan and my heat source in my incubator, instead of spending another $100 dollars for another outlet.
Yes!!!

However as posted above u will only be able to regulate it based on ur inc temps. So it wont be high enough to run a rack as well. As far as i know, all herps come with with 3 outlets on one cord. I had a rack where each heat tape was wired separate so i just used a few power bars.

Running ur fan off ur tstat is very do ablr snd many ppl do. My self included. It turns on when my tape does. Works great!!
