This is a great product.
Unfortunately it is not marketed properly.
It took forever to find someone that sells these.
These sould be sold at pet outlets and farm supply stores.
Agway did sell a version of this when they were in business.
We use about 10 of these on our farm.
Chickens, P Fowl, Goats, Horses, Brooder room, etc.
Above are some of our applications.
These are excellent for farm use.
Great product!

I looked for years for something like this to help protect my frost-sensitive plants! I have been using it with C9 Christmas lights and a cover (sheet, blanket or pool cover) on my plants and haven't lost one plant since. It has saved me a lot of money since I don't have to put the lights on a timer all night long like I used to. It's really worth buying!

I am using this to control the on/off of power to my home built rain collector heater for my Davis weather station during snow storms.
6153 Wireless Vantage Pro2 with 24-Hour Fan Aspirated Radiation Shield
My unit turns on at around 36 degrees F and off at 41F. It worked great all through last winter without any problems.
I plugged a nightlight into the second outlet so that I could tell when the Thermo-Cube has switched on and when it had switched off.
I agree that it could be marketed better. None of the automative or hardware stores in my area even knew what I was taking about when I inquired about such a device.
THANK GOD for AMAZON.COM!
