Do I need to connect a ground to the thermostat?

Good question, this thermostat doesn't have a ground wire connection so I would wire the breaker wire ground to the heaters ground wire. Read your manuals first before wiring any product.

Yes. It should be installed in the ground with only the breather and outlet with union above the ground.

Connect the ground conductor to one of the screws that holds the fan assembly in the housing

No, you have to connect it to your battery or a/c. You can use the 12 volts that runs the system.

There is no ground wire connection but I just unscrewed one of the cover screws to connect the ground screw, hum problem gone.

It's probably not necessary, unless you want a separate reading for the air temp, not just the ground temp. However, you should occasionally use your other thermometer on the warm side to confirm that the thermostat reading is accurate. If the readings are significantly different, then one of the devices should be replaced/fixed. I hope this helps.

I would not connect to a Thermostat line. One is for A/C and the other for heat pump. If the drain line gets clogged, you do not want to turn off the heat pump, because the A/C would continue to run and overflow. There are connections to turn off the entire unit. Look at the wiring diagram to find them the entire unit, better to connect there.

No, but why spend the money on a "connected" thermostat if you're not going to connect it? Just buy a cheaper programmable one.

You can ground it if you want but its not necessary. Mine works great ungrounded.

No Eric - you need to but a plug in thermostat be careful of your electrical system - I burned out the circuit using this heater and had to re wire that room and put it on it's own breaker - my house is 100 yrs old and still had some hidden nob & tube wiring which I feel contributed to the problem - ever since the new wire is in no problems

The GND (ground) from this does not connect to the thermostat. The thermostat is grounded through the original wiring to your furnace. Look online for instructions on how to use this with I assume a wireless thermostat.

no. there is no ground connection to the anteenae itself. it grounds thru your electrical outlet. if you have a splitter make sure you have a ground to that if it outdoors.

Yes, you will need to link it with the thermostat to allow it to communicate.

Are you certain that you've got the sensor wired in correctly. It's simply a controlling device and should be wired into a switch leg - that is, the power supply (hot - usually black) wire should go to the sensor first and then continue on out to the LED supply (hot) lead. If your sensor isn't wired properly, the LED won't work. Check your wiring specification and schematic diagram closely to be certain. Also, be certain that the power supply coming into your sensor is properly grounded and then take care to continue the ground all the way to the LED installation. Lastly, the instructions that were provided with my LED floodlight specifically stated that the supply circuit should not have any appliances with controllers (such as thermostats on air conditioners, etc.) other than the motion sensor for the LED, of course. It may be helpful to meticulously draw a schematic wiring diagram of your own, labeling all wires on your various devices by color so as to be certain you've got it thought out properly before proceeding with the actual wiring project. Again, be certain that you've got all your electrical boxes grounded and that there is grounding continuity with the ground wires on both of your devices (LED AND sensor). If the above is not clear to you, I suggest you employ the services of a licensed electrician, as that would suggest you do not possess a basic understanding of electrical circuitry. You don't want to chance hurting yourself or creating a short circuit that could be hazardous and costly.

You will need an electrician to run power to it from the thermostat. Mine was a replacement, so I installed it myself using the existing power line.

As this is electric and used in water, you do need to plug it into a GFI outlet. This outlet should already be grounded using the house wireing. Your house ground is typically a long copper rod (pole) sunk deep into the ground. I use this heater in my small pond all winter long. It rests in a clay pot near my fountain intake which I also leave run all winter long.

Doubt it. Thermostats are low voltage. Cost would be high but you can use a step down transformer. In real life - just turn the stupid thing on or off!
