I've tired of my MES30 not measuring or managing temps properly, so I'm taking the plunge and ordering an Auber PID today. I'm getting the WSD-1500H-W:
I wanted to reconfirm the best practices for the rewire of my MES30 Gen1. I had saved this thread a while back from tallbm , and it looks excellent:

Are there any other MES PID rewire threads I should check out?
I'm leaning towards the wall mount of the main sensor for reading MES IT. Any reasons why doing that isn't advised? It looks like a fairly simple mount - drill hole through cabinet, insert probe from back, and screw tight w/nut from the inside.
Thanks! Would never have known about this mod w/out this forum.
This is what my MES30 looks like (back and bottom):
Back has the panel w/screws where the heating element connections are. I recently replaced the element so that's all new.
Bottom has rivets, which I believe I'll be drillin gout as a part of the process.
