I'm super excited because I have my first Helix on the way. I was reading through everything on Reptile Basics, but I'm not entirely sure how it hooks up to the flexwatt. I have my flexwatt plugged into a cheap thermostat-with a wall plug, but with eggs on the way (crosses fingers) I wanted a proportional thermostat rather than the cheaper on/off thermostat. So my question is, does my flexwatt plug right into the helix or how does that work? Also, can I back up the Helix with a dimmer or will that affect how the proportional thing works? I don't run anything without a back up dimmer, and I'm hoping it won't affect the Helix. I know I have to set it a bit higher than the Helix so it can run properly.
