I use my Acurite constantly. I walk by several times a day and its convenient to see what Temps/Humidity is. What the Tstat says really doesn't matter its what the Thermometer probe for the hot spot says , head unit for ambient and humidity reading shows that matters..
As we all agree using the Laser for the surface is necessity above Substrate to dial in but then we know what the laser should say based upon what the Acurite probe says without having to open the enclosure.
Also you mentioned your Tstat probe being on or near the Substrate I believe? I keep mine 1/2 way between floor & Ceiling of the enclosure so it doesn't get wet/broken ect.. The probe on the Acurite is for all kinds of weather, the tstat probe isn't and costs 20 times more..
There are several ways to accomplish your temps... This is just what is easiest and most accurate for me![]()
