Even-Tempered
This puzzle is a combination of Thermo Sudoku and Binairo.
Rules:
1. Normal sudoku rules apply
2. Digits along a thermometer must strictly increase starting from the bulb
3. There may be no more than two consecutive even or odd digits orthogonally
4. Digits in a circle must be odd, and digits in a square must be even
Note: The bulbs of the thermometers are not considered odd by default.
Solution code: Digits in column nine from top to bottom.

Added Sudoku Pad link.
Thanks to Crul for the feedback. I edited the rules, so they should be less confusing now.

Fun puzzle, I enjoyed it! thanks
In case others are confused (like me);
> 3. There may be no more than two even or odd digits in a row orthogonally
That applies to rows and columns.

Now this?! This is setting perfection. Really, really enjoyable. Took nearly 40 minutes but felt like 5. Thanks a lot!

Really great puzzle! The parity constraint made for a lot of fun deductions throughout!

What a fun constraint! Really enjoyed working out what the implications of it were as I went.

I liked it, thank you :-)
I guess I could have done better than just brute force on the last about 15 cells to prove the correct parity distribution by elimination.

Lovely interactions between the board elements and the no-more-than-two-in-a-row constraint.
