Well the stat has just arrived, so ive set it up and ill have a play around to get the temps right today. It isn't that hot in my room today for some reason, I did have the mat off but it was far to cold.
Edit-
Pics posted in the photo section.
Updated pic of his viv below, more places to hide now, and a digi thermometer and finally a thermostat.

I shoudn't have gone for the cheap option, ive read the posts on faulty microclimate thermostats, and mine doesn't work at all, it turns of at the correct temp but doesn't turn back on. Useless piece of crap, I was doing a better job. 
Ill see what its like tommorow, but I think ill have to return it and get the recomended Habistat Pulse. |

I know you are now measuring your temps with a digital thermometer Chris....what readings were you getting while you were using the microclimate stat? What temp was it getting to before switching off and did it literally not turn back on? I did the same thing as you, and mine would turn off at the correct time but didnt switch on until the temp had dropped over 5oC, which was too much of a drop for my liking. So I did change to the Habistat pulse and am much happier. But I do know that others use the microclimate without a problem and without such a major temp swing....so maybe the stat I had was faulty.
I will echo Gmac's question, how long have you let it run for? It does take a while for you to see a pattern in what is happening.

It gets to around 29c and switches of and then it drops back down to room temp and just doesn't turn back on, I left it going over night and it obviously hadn't turned back on because it was still at room temp.
So im going to send it back and try to get a refund, Ive found the pulse one fairly cheap elsewhere so ill order that now, so I hopefully get it tommorow. |
