Can you connect mats together to work off one thermostat?

You could but you would have to splice the wire and then the connection would not be rated to be 'in ground' I wouldn't recommend it.

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.

A wire cooling rack to separate the layers might work. Just a thought. I'm looking into racks right now!

I don't believe so. You plug this into the wall and your heat source into the thermostat. I believe there can only be one heat source per thermostat. I know herpostats which are more expensive allow you to hook up multiple sources

You can cut the mat but not the heating wire itself. It can be shaped a little but a custom order is ideal.

Yes, if you plug the 2 heating devices into a power strip and plug the power strip into the Digital Thermostat's AC output it will work just fine. I would watch how many you use this way, the Thermostat has a limit on the amount of power it will handle. (amps / amperage) (or it may be listed in watts) Just add up the total power the mats use and ensure it is less than the rated maximum for the thermostat. I successfully use it with 2 heating pads this way and I even moved the thermostat from one set of plants to another to check that they are even, and there has been no difference.

I use a thermostat to keep the mats at 70. Without the thermostat the temp would probably run about 65-68 degrees. So far the mats have worked great. Hope this helps.

Yes, but they are seperate. They both screw into the same base but you can not have both on at the same time...bummer.

Sorry, I am not sure..... But would think the more mats, less electric charge,,,, I use two but think more on same connection would not work well. That being said, you can give it a shot.

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

Not sure whether or not they can. Can you provide more details as to what your trying to accomplish by having 2 thermostats.

Yes! That's what I did and it works great. These mats come as a set of two but it's been six months and I haven't needed to use the second one at all because the first one is still like new.

An adapter/batter pack must be connected to mat to make it work. Read the description carefully -- you may be able to connect more than one together. I no longer have mine as my cats were smart enough to learn to step in between the electrical grids. Then they peed all over it.

I would not do that unless you knew the location of the internal thermostat. Check with manufacturer or schematic.

From what I see online, I would say no. Thermostat must be Red Link Network enabled.

I don't see how you could. When you add the extension, there is 2 snaps to connect the extension to the main mat. It's my understanding that you would have to buy another main mat to plug in the second extension. Have you checked out all the different sizes? I'm happy with my mats & hope you are too.

No thermostat can possibly control two zones. The whole purpose of having more than one zone is that the thermostats are in separate places and can regulate the heat independently. So since this is one tstat that is in only one place, it can't do that. Buy two and you are good. Or if you are cheap, you can wire one tstat to run 2 systems, but you've then just turned your multizone system into a single zone system.
