Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Fail safe
I've had quite a few inquiries about these new thermostats and any fail safes they have so I'd like to go into detail so people have an idea how advanced the ISTAT Pulse Plus is.
Inside each unit there are 2 micro-controllers,if they loose connection with each other the thermostat turns off the heat. These units also have over temperature shut offs that work the same way. If it gets hotter than the required temp, all heat is shut off.
There are further fail safes built into the probe. Inside the probe, there are 2 digital sensors. Those sensors need to speak with the main controller in order for it not to go into safe mode. If the sensor looses communication then the heat is shut off.
Another safety feature of this unit is its ability to "sense" a fallen probe. Once the temperature has reached its target it will set a "flag" internally.If there is a sudden drop in temperature, i.e because the probe has been relocated (fallen), it will try to correct the problem for 30 minutes. If it cannot correct it, it will shut off the heat.
With all theses features in place, if the unit ever fails, it will fail resulting in the heat source being cut off instead of running full blast, risking animals or eggs dying from excess heat.

It's got a feature that's better than a night drop. Most night drops do just that, drop the temps from day to night temp quickly. The Pulse+ allows the user to gradually drop the temp from hour to hour. It has a 24 hour range to allow 24 different temp settings through out that 24 hour period. All of that is built in and no further modules are needed to be purchased.
I have a demo video posted on our Facebook page, Acadian Enclosure.

With the issues regarding this tstat in the UK and people waiting a year or more for refunds on a tstat that never arrived, how can we be sure there will be no issues getting these in the US from that company?
