Microclimate never emailed me back so I ordered 5 thermostats from another company and called before asking if they were proportional or on/off and they told me they stay on all the time. Well I got them and they were on/off :/.....they are refunding me everything though. I then broke down and was going to order a herpstat 4 & 2 but I see now the 6 is out and for only $100 more then the 4 so I bought it. I just hope mine will be in with the first batch of them so I don't have to wait for them to get more lol.
Is the standard probe size 12' for the herpstat? I couldn't find the info, just seen they have 12' extensions.
Thank you Yodawagon. I just looked them up and I was going to be a little bummed if they ended up being cheaper to buy 6 of them rather then buying the herpstat 6. The pulse plus is 149.99 so definitely more expensive and the compact is 74.99 which comes to $10 more then the herpstat. I believe I made the best and cheapest choice for buying a proportional in the US. Plus all the features it has compared to the others. I'll be getting the humidity probe to use with my mistking so I won't have to use the regular timed misting. My humidity in my home is always 25%-30% and its hard to control the humidity in the v400, I think its because I burn wood to heat my home and it makes the air very dry. Someone should really make a budget friendly proportional thermostat for $50 or less with just basic features and a fail safe. Would be a lot safer then cheap on/off and light dimmers. I went from on/off to dimmers and always having to adjust temps. I thought I was gaining something from dimmers but really they fluctuated as much as the on/off except they work really good with my beardies basking bulbs which I built in a fuse and tested just in case. But thank you for looking into it.
