I want to use my CDH as a portable heater that sits outside of my little camper and is ducted inside. The AB obviously provides much better control than the factory controller. But to use it I need temperature readings from inside the camper. I've searched the forums and read the user manual but haven't found anything that covers this. All I can find is how to wire extra temperature sensors. Is there a remote wireless temperature sensor or a way to accomplish this?

I have set something up that does the remote thermostat. Slightly more complicated but you can push a thermostat reading to the Afterburner over MQTT. It needs to be pushed every 20-30 seconds and will override the default thermostat reading. It's very effective but needs a good source of temperature.
I have a Shelly HT G3 which produces a reading every 5 mins so have written some python code that updates the Afterburner every 20 seconds - based on the last temperature reading- if that makes sense?
