Good find. :)
Two is one and one is none, but three is even better.

Had 2 thermometers in living room this morning, doing an experiment. Sun had moved round (to the right), so there was no chance of it directly hitting the thermostat or thermometer, unlike in the spring, where I think it comes in from the left around this time. Thermostat is set to 17. Thermometer next to it is reading 18.5. A second thermometer on the TV stand away from the window is reading 17.7. No gas is being burned. So my conclusions are:
1. The whole room has been heated by the sun about 1.1° on average.
2. Areas in direct sun to left of window are hot and radiating heat. This is warming that end of room more. Thermostat and thermometer are measuring that.
The sun is not directly hitting ether device, which would give a totally spurious reading.
