The way the system works is it reads temperatures in the panel (outside) and on the top and bottom of the water tank. So for those I would need to use the built in sensors as it would be hard to access the spots to install new sensors. I could however use what you suggest to measure the temperatures of the tubes bringing water to and from the panel.
