MSA-613: Controls turning on and off devices based on a temperature range and also a date range. I specificially use it to control a heating coil on the roof . I need it turned on if the temp goes above 30 degrees, and again off if the temp gets too high. Also only between the months of dec and april.

Adds capabilities "Temperature Measurement" and "Relative Humidity Me…
