Units equate, Thermos rise
(Published on 12. March 2023, 21:07 by Bonehead)
Rules.
Classic sudoku rules apply.
Themo values rise from the bulb end.
Digits do not repeat in cages.
If given, cages total to the value in their top left corner.
Green dots are given where the unit total of ALL the other cells in the cage added together, match that's cell value. Eg. In a 3 cell cage of [7,8,9] 7 has a green dot as 8+9=17, so the unit (not tens) value is also 7. 8 and 9 are not as 7+9 or 7+8 do not have unit value of 8 or 9. For clarity, count ALL the other cells in a cage, even if it has multiple dots.
All possible dots are given.

Happy solving
NB! One shouldn't have to brute force the 'unit' rules, there's a couple of quick ways to minimise the work needed. Of course, I'll leave that up to you :)
Solution code: Row 4, Column 3, no spaces between digits.

Nice and not too difficult.
EDIT by Bonehead - thank you. I was a bit worried that the break in, while relatively simple really, would fox a lot of people, mainly due to the fairly unique unit ruleset.
