MK...here is another alternative that was posted quite some time ago... http://home.alltel.net/engled/td/may23.html ..to control the remote mounted AC you could do as Kai(mexican tear) has done, which is to use a common wall mount "T"stat connected to a relay to control the A/C plug (like glassices suggested) or you can get 120vac "T"stat that is commonly used in greenhouses and animal habitats like this one
