It depends on what thermostat you buy. If you buy a digital one like a hydrofarm or a herpstat, instead of plugging in your UTH into the wall socket, you'd plug it in into your thermostat. You'd put the thermostat's heat probe between the UTH and the glass. Then just use the digital pad to adjust the temperature.
Hope that makes sense.
