The gauges finally did somewhat "normalize" to pretty much the same figures, it just took like 30 min or so. The new probe from Spyder Robotics came in (this one is steel tipped, the old one was plastic) and got it installed. I did a master reset then followed a YouTube video to set the probe to dimming (a Pro Products heat panel) and set daytime temps to 90, and nighttime to 88 I think and set the internal time. I think I set daytime from 9am to 9pm but it doesn't really matter. Back on the main screen it's showing 84.8 currently and 100% and the AcuRite on the hot side is showing 82. I know it'll read and refresh less quickly than the probe but we'll see if the Herpstat 2 starts showing different info when it reaches 90 or when it hits the time change I programmed in. Hope this works so Kurt Russell will be a happy little snek.
