Normal sudoku rules apply.
- Digits in cages sum to the number in the top-left corner of the cage (if given) and must not repeat.
- Digits along the thermometer increase from the bulb.
- Adjacent digits along the green whisper must have a difference of at least 5.
- Cells along a purple renban form a consecutive sequence of non-repeating digits, in any order.
- Digits separated by a white dot are consecutive. Not all dots are given.
- Digits in a grey circle are odd; digits in a grey square are even.
The puzzle is available online via Sudokupad
Solution code: Row 1 then Row 9 (18 digits)

Thanks for a great puzzle. I too thought finding the first digit was hard, so I've rated it 2 stars for difficulty.

@goodcity Agreed about the "hard to find a first digit" part. I've been staring at this thing for almost 25 minutes and I've got nothing. I've pulled out SET, windoku, and everything else I can think of and I've got nothing.
EDIT:
Hah. No sooner did I post my previous comment then I got my first digit and then the rest flowed reasonably smoothly. Great puzzle!

Hard to find a first digit, then hard to stop finding digits !
