This is a poor man's geyser. It also saves electricity. The temperature is
controlled by a microcontroller i.e., Digispark Attiny85. More by sandilya.anisetty:

Cut and fit the switches and socket as shown in the pictures.

Step 3: Code
I took onewire temperature example and modified so that the heater turns OFF
at 46 degrees and 44 degrees centigrade and beeps. Slide switch is used to
change the temperature mode. It starts again if temperature drops.

Upload the sketch to the digispark.

Solder 4.7k resistor between p0 and +5v pin in the digispark board.
Now assemble and wire according to the pictures.
Note: Use same wire guage for the relay as heater's wire because it draws
more power.

Thanks for the instructable, I intend to use a lot of what you've done. Incase you
haven't already thought about it, you should beware of legionaire's bacteria
growing the water at temperatures up to 48 degrees. You'd need to periodically
get the water to 60-odd degrees to kill off the bacteria that have already grown.
