This logic will allow you to automatically keep your atmos temperature within a minimum and maximum temperature without annoying clicking. This setup assumes that your [[Wall Cooler|Wall Coolers]] and [[Wall Heater|Wall Heaters]] are on a separate network for the room you want to control the temperature of. This also assumes your atmosphere isn't highly flammable. Network separation can be obtained through a [[Transformer]] or [[Area Power Controller]]. 
 
'''Resources needed:''' 
* 1 [[Gas Sensor]]
* 3 [[Kit (Logic I/O)]]
* 4 [[Kit (Logic Processor)]]
* 3 [[Kit (Logic Memory)]]
* At least 1 [[Wall Heater]]
* At least 1 [[Wall Cooler]]
* Many [[Cables|Cable coils]]

'''<big>Steps to placing the setup</big>''' 
# Place the [[Gas Sensor]] in the middle of the room you want to control
# Place the [[Wall Heater|Wall Heaters]] along a wall of the room
# Place the [[Wall Cooler|Wall Coolers]] along a wall of the room
# Place 1 [[Kit_(Logic_I/O)|Kit (Logic I/O)]] 'Logic Reader' variant
# Label the logic reader as "Temp Reader"
# Place 1 [[Kit (Logic Processor)]] 'Logic Select' variant for cooling Label this: "Cooling Select"
# Place 1 [[Kit (Logic Processor)]] 'Logic Compare' variant for cooling Label this: "Cooling Compare"
# Place 1 [[Kit (Logic I/O)]] 'Batch Writer' variant Label this: "Cooling Writer"
# Place 1 [[Kit (Logic Processor)]] 'Logic Select' variant Label this: "Heating Select"
# Place 1 [[Kit (Logic Processor)]] 'Logic Compare' variant Label this: "Heating Compare"
# Place 1 [[Kit (Logic I/O)]] 'Batch Writer' variant Label this: "Heating Writer"
# Place all 3 [[Kit (Logic Memory)]] units nearby Label these as "Temp Min", "Temp Mid" and "Temp Max" and set your desired temperatures in kelvin
# Wire all units together
# "Temp Reader" should be set to read "Temperature" from your Gas sensor (Note: Temperature from sensor is in Kelvin)
# Configure your "Cooling Select"; Select: "Cooling Compare" Input 1: "Max Temp" Input 2: "Mid Temp"
# Configure your "Cooling Compare"; Input 1: "Temp Reader" Mode: Greater Input 2: "Cooling Select"
# Configure your "Cooling Writer"; Input: "Cooling Compare" Output: Wall Cooler Setting: On
# Configure your "Heating Select"; Select: "Heating Compare" Input 1: "Min Temp" Input 2: "Mid Temp"
# Configure your "Heating Compare"; Input 1: "Temp Reader" Mode: Less Input 2: "Heating Select"
# Configure your "Heating Writer"; Input: "Heating Compare" Output: Wall Heater Setting: On
# Finally, turn on the logic chips in the following order: Logic Reader Select Unit Logic Compare Batch Writer
