Cracking 500K

This is my first attempt at setting a puzzle, done in honor of Mark and Simon from the Cracking the Cryptic channel. All comments are appreciated, thank you for playing! :)

Rules:
  • Normal sudoku rules apply.
  • Digits separated by a white dot must be consecutive.
  • Cells with grey circles must contain odd digits.
  • Cells along a purple line contain a set of consecutive, non-repeating digits in any order.
  • Digits on a thermometer must strictly increase as they move away from the bulb.
  • Adjacent digits along green lines must differ by at least 5.
  • Cells separated by an X or V must sum to 10 or 5 respectively. Not all XV clues are given.

Solution code: The fourth column followed by the eighth row (18 digits)

I really liked this one. I’m generally not great at these but this one had a nice flow to it. I noticed the same as others that the CTC app thinks it is wrong.

Yes it seems CTC thinks it's another solution!
