First is build the new controller. I already have all the parts, including a water proof 1-wire sensor, and a spare LCD I can use for the readout.

After that it will be closely monitored trial & error.

I was scheming a way to make the Teensy (Arduino) automatically increase & decrease the hysterisis until the unit reached maximum efficiency, but then reality set in and I decided that trial & error would the best approach to a one-shot problem.
