Well, I am not sure how to connect a thermostat, but I thought of a suggestion that might help. From what I've read, incubator temps can fluctuate as a result from room temp changes. Maybe you could just put your incubator in an area of the house where temps don't vary as much? Sorry I can't help more, but maybe this was something that was overlooked.

it was not over looked. keeping the temp constant in my apartment is very hard unfortunatly. my thermostat for the AC or heater has a very wide range. i also live on the top in a two story apartment complex so when the bottom guys turn their heater on or whatever it changes the temp in my apartment. the eggs are in my living room because i feel that is where it changes the least. also if it gets to hot or cold i can fix it more quickly then anywhere else. but it is still not enough and i am very concerned! thanks for the advice though.

I am currently having the same problem with temperature fluctuation. The only thing I have found so far is to place the incubator in a closet and keep the lights off and leave the incubator in there. From what i have seen and heard that this may help both of our problems. Hope thi helps.

haha thanks for the tip. that was actually where i first tried to set up, when i knew my girls were gunna start laying. i must have a small apartment or something because my hovas wouldnt fit. that really sucked because all year i thought, "oh ill just put them in the closet and that will work better", then i tired and they didnt fit. thats why they are in my living room.
