There is a hysteresis programmed in already. Right now I have it set to turn on at 4C degrees above kitchen temperature and turn off when it gets down to 2C above kitchen temperature. The noise in the lines must be fairly easily overriding this though. I also added additional on time delays to the latest version that I'm running. When it turns on, it turns on for 30 seconds no matter what. This can probably be extended so its a few minutes as AC Hacker suggested. I've kept the off time delay short in case a spike happens it can kick back on relatively quickly. I think its set to ~5 seconds right now.

I do not have an SD card logger. It would come in quite handy though! Right now I just have some serial printing in the code to show some things.
