Wow looks really good - I would love to hear how you get on with it.
Out of interest what color did you get?

Hopefully you get it. Given his past history, he owes/d people a lot of money!

Looks interesting. The Microclimate Prime, Evo and Evo Pro appear to do similar things but this one is maybe a bit less pricey.

I'll be interested to hear how Gordon gets on with the iSTAT

I'm up to 4 pulse plus stats working great. Fed up with with failures on the other units and will change them out as more units fail

The probes are interchangeable on these so you can go to a 5m length if needed and you can get a back plate to attach to walls etc such a simple little idea but it works fab


Have been talking to Chris to see if he can produce one where the lowest temp will be 3-4' degree as opposed to 10' 😎

CB - the back plate is a piece of aluminium coloured to match the stat ( of which there are multiple ccoulours including pink !!!) the plate is larger than the width of the stat with with holes in each corner so when the stat is stuck to the back plate you can the screw the unit into the wall or frame etc. Simple but works fab

The probes also read humidity and air pressure

With regards to having the minimum temp range lowered to 4' - Im sure the temperature gives the game away there
