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.

Night Drop in Ranco?
You mentioned a night drop feature in your Ranco Thermostats. I recently purchased 2 of these thermostats and did not notice this feature. Could you provide more info on model and such. All we do here ,for a night drop, is turn off the systems. Room is typically at 78 degrees. Drops the warmest area of caging/racks to room temp instead of the daytime 88 degrees.

NIGHT DROP
You will have to go through your options and then you should come across a another number after setting the desired temp and then do the drop. You can drop as low as 30 F, but you wouldn't want to, just select what you want to drop.

That number after setting the desired temp is the temperature differential. It is not a night drop. That number can be set from 1f - 30f. What it does is tell the thermostat how tight to hold the temp.
For example, if you set your desired temp to 90f and the temp differential to 1, the thermostat will turn on at 89f and off again at 91f. You can see the problem if you set it for 30. Yes it will allow it to drop the temp significantly but it will also allow temps to reach 120f before it shuts off.

I've been using one of these thermostats for about a month now, and I'm really pleased with it as well. To solve the one outlet inconvenience, I plugged a 6-outlet surge-protector strip into it, and then plugged my heating cables into the plug strip. Just make sure that you don't overload the capacity of the thermostat if you're using multiple devices.
