I hope the suggested difficulty is not too far off - it has been quite a while since parity thermos appeared here!

Rules

Normal sudoku rules apply.

Equality: Any two thermometers visiting an equal number of cells have equal totals. A thermometer total is the sum of all digits on the thermometer.

Parity Thermometers: Thermometers see only one parity. Blue ones see even digits, orange ones see odd digits.
On a thermometer, digits of the seen parity must strictly increase from the bulb end and must also be strictly dominant. Digits of the unseen parity are unaffected by the thermometer, but do count towards the total.
Bulb-to-end examples:
Valid blue thermo: 2-5-6-1-8
Valid orange thermo: 3-4-5-4-7-9
Invalid of either colour: 1-2-3-4 (no majority)
