Do you know if this sestos has the ramp/soak function or would it be a manual thing like a stc1000
No ramp/soak function. :sad:

I can't use the same ssr to control via pot and a pid?
I was thinking of using a cam switch like this
Position 1 - Full power (Bypass ssr)
Position 2 - Pot control
Position 3 - PID control
The ssr required for a pid is different to the one for a pot?
what type of SSR do you have there is the DA type that uses a seperate controller as in a PID or PWM , Arduino, raspberry PI. And there is the VA type that is controlled by a pot.

The Sestos has a manual output function on it. See earlier posts.
