    I have a certain device located outdoors. It contains a power supply which, according to the manufacturer, can operate from -10°C. I want to protect it from switching on below this temperature. Are there any bimetallic thermostats for such low temperatures? Electronic ones tend to fall out as they require a power supply and I want to cut it off below this temperature limit.

    How about the other way round - an enclosure with a small 5-10W heater?

    If someone turns on such a frozen power supply (pulsed) in a 20-degree frost, the heater may not have time to heat it up before it fires something :) I also don't want to permanently connect a 230V heater, because why should it heat non-stop.

    Turn the heater on below about 10'c.

    I've just found a power supply that according to the manufacturer can withstand -30°C, I think I'll put one in there and there will be no need to combine with heaters.

    the easiest way is probably to use a contact thermometer e.g. Link
