Temperature sensitive switch?

Hi again. Was wondering if there was such a thing as a temperature sensitive on/off switch to control fans and what-not. Planning on getting a 600 Watt "CoolTube" and venting it so that it warms the house a little.

After reading all this shit about FLIR and handheld IR drive-bys in the wee hours of the morn, it behooved me to maybe redirect the warmer HPS exhaust into the house (small house) during these winter months. Am hoping the charcoal filter will take at least some of the "dankness" out of the air too. I just think that this hypothetical "Temp Switch" would be able to turn on the fan only when temps exceed a certain limit, so I dont have to run it all day. Sound good? Is there such a thing?

Thanks,
NYK

I believe you're looking for a thermostat. I sort of had the same idea as you when I got started back in July and I actually bought the unit I linked to. I ended up returning it because I'm able to monitor all my shit throughout the day.

Youre absolutely right... I was typing in all sorts of shit besides "Thermostat".
Thanks

Any idea where to obtain a portable style Thermostat? One with a 3 prong outlet?

I don't know what you mean by "portable-style thermostat". Aside from the price, what's wrong with the unit I linked to?

The one you linked to would work fine. Didnt see that before. Thanks
