Probe goes on the hot side over the UTH, and the unit sits on the cool side. It measures both temperatures and humidity.

It sounds like the UTH is too hot (needs a thermostat) and dropping the temperature at night isn't good either. Does your enclosure have a thermal gradient?

It is very rare to find them locally. There might be a reptile or exotic pet shop. Beware of the zoomed thermostats they stop working after a month or so.

Online is your best bet.
