I don't really know if it will work. In my case it needs a corresponding part wired directly into the furnace

I experienced a power surge in my home which fried this thermostat so I just ordered the same model number thinking I could just plug it in and replace it. Come to find out it is a contractor thermostat and there is programming of some sort that has to be done so I ended up calling an HVAC person to get it working. Good luck.

You don't. I returned this tstat because when I received it, I found the circuit board didn't have a floor sensor spot. It is often shown with radiant floors, on Amazon, something which I gave Amazon feedback about, but Amazon basically told me that if people buy the two together, even if it is wrong, their system will group it. The way this one checks temp is by an air temp sensor built into the unit, so your floor can get baking hot, before it really does much to the air, which means while it CAN work, it CANNOT work well or efficiently for radiant. Options include ones like Sunstat which makes a digital and a analog version. I have the digital, and it works great. Secondly...when installing a floor sensor (before you set your tiles), install 2 spaced several feet apart. Run both wire leads to the thermostat, label one as backup, and don't connect it, and use the other. If you ever have to replace a tile and accidentally cut the sensor wire, it is useless...and having a backup sensor already run, makes switching the wiring a MUCH cheaper and faster solution, than breaking up a row of tiles in order to lay a new sensor under the tile again. I got a second sensor wire for around 10 bucks, and (knock on wood) have not needed to use it. Also, if your sensor wire comes from the manufacturer with a short or break in it, because of the time you wait for the floor to cure before activating it, you won't find out about a problem until after you have done all the work...then having a problem can be pretty frustrating.

If you're only controlling heater, then use a 2 wire heat only unit like this one:Heat Only Digital Non-Programmable Thermostat

I would assume you would be left with a "dumb" thermostat with no programming ability. Just Auto-Heat-Cool, and the temperature setting.

While I haven't tried to do it, I believe that you can add a sensor to this unit. I can't find it on Amazon, but here's the link to Home Depot. Again, I haven't tried it, but this is clearly the sensor that's with this unit. http://www.homedepot.com/p/t/202216934?productId=202216934&storeId;=10051&langId;=-1&catalogId;=10053&ci;_sku=202216934&cm;_mmc=shopping%2d%5f%2dgoogleads%2d%5f%2dpla%2d%5f%2d202216934&ci;_gpa=pla

It is made PRIMARILY for iPhone and I-pad (connects right away to Apple products). Android was a much trickier set up. I use both. Beware, if you have a pre 1990's thermostat, wiring may be very difficult. If you are sure the color codes are correct on your existing unit and match current code, you should be fine. New thermostat works great.

The control panel, and the LCD display both come with anchors and screws so you can essentially mount them on anything you can drill/screw into.For the sensors, you will need some type of shallow thermowell. At a plumbing supply store I found thermowells, but they were much too large. So they had some temperature probes (needle type, non electric), and those probes were mounted on small thermowells, so I bought those.You might need to get creative for a residential situation.

Google the sensor and display to find the instructions. I seem to recall that there's a jumper on the circuit board that you need to set for one or two temp sensors. So I'd take a look at the docs before I gave up.

You can use these: Lux WIN100 Heating & Cooling Programmable Outlet Thermostat(If that link doesn't work, search Amazon for "plug in thermostat"--that's how I found it.)They work well for wall heaters and for window A/C units.

The thermostat is wireless but attached to the wall. You can place it wherever you want without running wires. The portable control allows you to choose to read the temp from wherever you put it

The unit itself has a thermostat. In order to attach an external, self installed thermostat is not possible that I know of. But the unit works great on its own. I'm never having to adjust it. Keeps a constant temp in the room pretty well.

the thermostat does not need external sensors, i think it gets readings from the internet, the location you type in when registering the product, the thermostat needs to be connected to wi-fi to display outdoor temp and humidity readings.

Need the C wire for wifi. I had an electrician run a new thermostat wire so that I could do it. If you are the owner, you may be able to rerun it yourself. Mine went through the heat flashing and was compressed by a support post and my electrician had the tools to fish a new line.

It would be nice to have an aswer to this question. I could imagine a device that works without a third-party web site, where you connect directly to the thermostat, but I would be surprised if this device had that ability. If someone can verify that it does, I will buy one, otherwise I'm going to wait.

Unless your local codes, etc. allow unlicensed homeowners to modify their wiring, I would urge contacting a reputable licensed electrician to set up your thermostat and attach the wiring. You can safely install the heat element mats and the thermostat sensor wire under your flooring by closely following the instal instructions - in particular extra care to see that heat element wires are not nicked. You're electrician will check for this before wiring in to the household power. It is a good product and wonderful,economical heat when complete. - Hope this helps!

I'm sorry but I decided to change my whole system to a ductless heat pump (best thing I've done to this house). I actually never used the thermostat, ended up in my good stuff junk pile. Wish I could help more.
