It doesn't matter what sensor you use as long as you calibrate it to around the temperature you are going to use it with. The controller you have is the correct one for driving the SSR. Like I said I have installed lots of these (I have about 100 on my shelf now) but someone who has only used one or two will no doubt know way more than me. You mean by switchable you want to run the element manually?

The Sestos controller has a manual and automatic mode. Go into the settings and select "run", change the value to "0" and you can drive the output up and down using the up down arrows. Change back to "1" and it goes back to automatic control (PID).

mickiboi wrote: Why don't you want to use the controller to keep your boiler temperature constant? Like set it 90 or something and forget it until your run is finished.
