After my previous puzzle "Ultimate Slot Machine" I was trying to think of what other variants I could do 'Ultimate' versions of. This is when I remembered some puzzles I had seen from the user Lorff using the binairo variant. I immediately got the idea to do the same concept but including diagonals and found that it had some very interesting logic. The rules are as follows:
- Normal Sudoku rules apply
- Orthogonally adjacent digits must not be consecutive
- Digits along the thermometer increase moving away from the bulb
- There can be no more than 2 digits of the same parity (odd or even) adjacent to each other in any row, column, or diagonal
Hopefully you enjoy solving it as much as I enjoyed setting it!

Just a note that your CTC link has the rule for digits along an arrow rather than thermo :)

The puzzle is pretty nice, but is there a problem with the solution code?

Apologies, I somehow managed to miss off the last 4 digits of the solution code. It should work now
