Edit in case someone else is struggling:
You can create areas without any relays in them. So if you want to use a different area's temperature sensor to conditionally disable your heating element (or any other conditional dependency), create an area without a relay, have it use the relevant sensor, ensure that the alarm values in that area are correct (use either high or low, whichever works for your use case). Then enter that area as a dependency in the area you're trying to shut down (in my case the "hot" area).
So overall, I ended up with a "cold" area that is only there to "block" the "warm" area's relay in case the cold side is running to hot.
TheYosh's guide does explain it quite well but I just didn't think about the fact that you could just not have any relays in the area you depend on.

Hi,
Still very much enjoying how well TerrariumPi manages my snake tank and really appreciate the time and effort that Theyosh is putting in!
It's been very warm and I've been trying to find a way to keep my tank with the right temperature gradient. For that your pose, I have a probe on either side of the tank, one under the heat source and one on the other end. Usually, I just use the one under the heat source to control the heating area with the lower alarm and it works fine. However, because it is so warm in general right now, the cold side of the tank is too warm.
Is there a way in which I can make turn my heating relay off based on the high alarm of one sensor (cold side) and overrule the low alarm of the warm sensor?
The desired outcome is that heating stops all together until the cold side is cool enough again and only then the warm side sensor acts as before turning the heating relay on and off as needed to maintain the warm side temperature.
