    Thermostat upgrades

    I've been looking at Spyder Robotics Thermostats but do they have one where I can control both hot and cool sides with one thermostat instead of getting two of the Herpstat Intros? Or if anyone else makes this or if something like that exists.

    Is your house so cold that you have to control the cool side? What kind of heat sources are you trying to control? UTH or lamps ?

    What kind of enclosure? Glass Tank? Tub? PVC?

    Yeah it is cold to the point that I want control the cool side but I want to keep the hotside controlled as well. I have a 40 gallon glass tank I have the UTH controlled but I was thinking about using a UTH on the cool side also and have it set aswell.

    I had no way of getting my room as warm as I needed it to be (excluding Summer time). I had used two UTHs and controlled them "separately" using the Herpstat 2. Worked like a charm. Glad to say I no longer have to use two UTHs and it's nice for two different enclosures.
    I should also add the Herpstat 2 has two inputs for two separate sources and they each can be set to different temps and other options and is why I recommend it for you.

    Herpstat 2 has two probes, but UTH won't raise ambient temps if your room is too cold.
