This is what I am using
WIFI Tuya Timer Socket Thermostat Digital Temperature Controller Socket Outlet With Timer Switch Sensor Probe Heating Cooling. I like it because I can check and contol the temp remotely.

This is the led strip

The cooler has a heat matt in the bottom and led light strips along the top.

Approximately how big of a cooler? And I assume you mean the light strips are grow lights?

Just a standard coleman cooler. 50 quart? Like one used for a weekend campout.

Perfect, I have several of those if I choose to go that route.
I would love to see photos of your dormancy set-up once you have it ready to go again for the season. Visuals are always a plus for me.
