Did you wire it to a 12V plug and to your heat source or plug in?

SAY WHAT?

The thermostat you bought is just the brain.... you have to hook it up to a plug so you can plug it in and power it. Then you have to hook it up to the heat source you want to control. If you look at your link on Amazon, the fourth photo down has labels for each screw/ button etc. Did some directions come with it? They should show you how to wire it. You will need a 12V cord, I got mine at the goodwill for $3, since that is the voltage your thermostat needs.

Im sorry, I don't know. I used a box, tinfoil, and an ordinary lamp for an incubator, really. I don't know how to do anything with those; Ive never even seen one.

bummer... mine is different, not sure if it wires the same way. Try searching for your thermostat and click images... that is how I found photos of how to wire mine.
