Really, a PID controller is the best solution for this sort of automation. I'll have to look into it more if I decide to expand on this.

Well, since I'm hard headed and a storm broke all my heat lamps (Just blew through the place and smashed them, luckily no other damage) I decided to try a thermostat-controlled heating pad. Here's the setup: This is my "mama heating pad", made of a seedling mat I didn't need and scrap wood...
