The other thing is: when to take the temp readings? Is it OK to watch the temps while the fan is operating? Won't that give some kind of false reading with the "fanned" air blowing over the outdoor sensor?

there was some double sided tape on my sensor which i pulled off and then had a look at the sensor itself. it is contained within a plastic shell. by putting a dab of paste on the mirror and pushing the sensor into it, i believe that this is enough. you can insulate it further, but I am yet to be convinced.
the fan will be blowing ambient air over the sensor true, but i do not notice any rise in apparent mirror temp as the fans are swtiched off. and i am blowing aprox 5 degree below ambient air over the mirror.
