Number 6 in my Equality Cages series has arrived. The previous and next puzzle in the series:
Equality Cages 105: Palindromesemordnilap
Equality Cages 107: Archery requires balance

All my series:
Equality Cages
EquaLite Cages
Shifter Lines
Shifter Dots



Rules:
Normal Sudoku rules apply. Place the digits 1 through 9 in each empty cell. Digits must not repeat within the same row, column, or box.

Equality cages: Cages must have an equal number of low (1,2,3,4) and high (6,7,8,9) digits AND an equal number of even (2,4,6,8) and odd (1,3,7,9) digits. Equality cages can never contain 5. Digits may not repeat in a cage.

Kropki dots: A black dot between cells indicates cell values with a 2:1 ratio. Not all dots are shown.

Thermometers: Digits along each thermometer must increase starting from the bulb end.

I can't solve this. The Equality Cage Rule says that 2 conditions MUST be true for each and every cage -
1) There must be an equal number of High and Low digits,
2) and an equal number of Even and Odd digits.
This means that in a 2 cell cage, if one digit is a 2, the other digit MUST be a High Odd (7 or 9) in order to fulfill both requirements. Yet the Puzzle says I am wrong?

That's true, you've must've made a mistake somewhere else. There's a link to the puzzle being solved in the description - follow that along and you'll find your mistake.

Love the idea of the equality cages with thermo logic, something about it just scratches my brain the right way. Great puzzle in a fun series of puzzles!

Thank you, much appreciated! If you take a look at hint 1 and nothing else you don't really get much help other than making sure you don't start off in the wrong place. It's the best one I've done in my opinion and it's really rewarding to get through if you do wanna give it a try.
