I think the temp sensor will read air temps good enough. I have been testing it with my second sensor the last week or so and it has been close to another air temp thermometer I have.
Is it possible to have the program have min run times so it doesn't short cycle? Say I want it to turn on at 80 and cool to 78 and turn off, but a min cycle time of 10 minutes? Meaning when it turn off it won't come back on until at least 10 minutes has elapsed, or won't turn off until 10 minutes has elapsed?
I assume the chiller program has something similar since the compressors kicking on and off rapidly would pre-maturely wear them and cause compressor problems.
Thanks,
