Can the Lifesmart heater be thermostatically controlled?

No it can not only high or low .... I returned it only worked for only a week and stopped working. It also did not have a timer. I purchased a bonaire one very nice.

I was really disappointed, you cannot control it thermostatically. I have other Lifesmart heaters and they can all be controlled thermostatically.

I think you could. But I would be very careful when you turn the heater on. You have to push the button a little hard which could make it unstable. Maybe you could use the remote control feature only.

Yes! You can adjust the Heat yourself in certain increments. It doesn't have too many options though. But enough!

I have not. But, when this heater reaches the desired temperature as set on the control knob, the heating element shuts off while the fan continues until the elements actually cool down. Adding an external timer or thermostat would remove all power to the unit and defeat the units cool down process.

Yes you can,As long as the unit does not have a night feature.you will also have to wire (If the unit has regular light) the light,exhaust fan and heater together for the timer switch(Which means you have no control over the heater being off if you don't need it)unless the timer switch has an additional switches.

you have to get a thermostat to regulate the temperature. i use spyder robotics, herpstat 1.

Yes there is. The small front panel flips down for setting your temperature, current date, and heating schedule. Additionally, the body of the unit can also be easily detached from the wall mount so you can access an 'on/off' switch as well as switches for Fahrenheit/Celsius and 12/24 hour clock display. My unit came with the heater setting in the OFF position, so be sure to open yours up and check before installing and assuming that it'll be ON. The instructions are pretty good at explaining how to manage all of the settings.

This heater puts out forced heat with a blower and has 2 settings. However, there is no thermostat to control the temperature. i.e. it runs until you turn it off.

No, not automatically. There are "high", "low", and "keep warm" settings, but they must be changed manually.

No, probably not in the sense you mean. This is an eight watt "always on" type of heater, it has no thermostat. The heater will continue to emit eight watts worth of heat whenever it is plugged in. With very few exceptions all small "bowl" or "betta" heaters work this way, the only difference is the wattage. They are available in 5 to 15 watts, you need to match tank size, ambient temperature, and other variables to heater wattage. A thermometer and monitoring is essential, especially at first to determine what temperature a particular heater keeps a particular tank, and if room temperature rises so will the water temperature. The term "preset" is not really applicable to these heaters, preset heaters have a thermostat that is permanently set at a certain temperature. If a heater description uses the term preset without stating a specific temperature (usually 78) then it is NOT a thermostatic heater- it is an always on type. In too small of a tank or too warm a room these can overheat the water. Bettas are very heat tolerant, which is why using these heaters is feasible, but care is still needed. In anything under 3 gallons I think eight watts may be more than needed unless in a fairly cool room.

There is no thermostat control just high heat or low this heater is the best heater I have ever brought very good space heater heats my entire office I'm ordering another

This unit should be able to handle the job if the heat is to be in a controlled space where the sensor can turn it off and onwithin the programmed temperature setting.

In so far as I can tell, there isn't any kind of a thermostat to regulate the temperature. I would guess that it's self regulating according to the room where it's located. There is a switch that you set to use as a refridgerator or as a food warmer and the other switch is for either A/C or D/C indicating a house current (A/C) or an automobile's current (D/C). There are cables for both and that's the limit of choices we have. I hope this helps. I am not an engineer---neither electronic nor choo choo. So far, this unit has performed quite well, and if it keeps up I will certainly recommend it to others. In so far as I can tell, there isn't any kind of a thermostat to regulate the temperature.

You sure could do that. Just set it to your choice of fan speed, heat setting, etc. with the outlet timer ON, leave the heater at that desired settings, timer goes OFF so does the heater and then it will come to life when the timer energizes the heater. Guess the only issue would be if your timer has the appropriate rating to operate the heater.

yes on my FD-61WHC there a adjustable thermostat, but there is not a timer, 95 to 155 degrees F the unit is 500 watts and works great..

There's a small lithium cell on the printed circuit board that keeps alive the settings you have made. Its major power draw is from the control wires, however. The one I have is a GREAT thermostat! Smart as hell, and I have it running my AC, my furnace, my humidifier, and my powered whole-house ventilator. I hooked in its outside thermocouple, and it keeps track of when to run a defrost cycle on the ventilator. I recommend it unreservedly, as my on-line review makes clear.

YES. This Thermostat will automatically switch your system from cool to heat or heat to cool depending on the temperature in your home. It is also capable of controlling a "heat pump" system (a system where the compressor unit outside your home is run to produce both cooling/air-conditioning and heating).
