Really enjoyed this puzzle, but I did have to use uniqueness at one point for the blue and yellow thermos - I didn’t feel very elegant doing it, but it was the only idea short of brute forcing it that I had.
Great fun though and a very nice looking puzzle, too!

Thanks! :)
Yeah, there is a step that is a bit trickier than the others. Glad that you enjoyed it!

ich verstehe das rote Thermometer nicht, wie kann ein Thermometer (auch wenn es slow ist) einen geschlossenen Kreis bilden, oder sind das 2 Thermos mit dem gleichen Bulb?

Ja, sind zwei Thermos mit dem gleichen Bulb. :)
