Anyone use Zwave device thermostat to control underfloor electric heating? Like in a bath room


Recommended Posts

Only seeing one zwave device, but it doesn't have built in GFCI like the radiant floor manufacture wants.

 

I am now thinking of just buying the cheap non-programable floor thermostat and using a higher amp zwave switch to stop/start the entire system.  Any thoughts or suggestions?

Replace the non-GFCI breaker with a GFCI breaker. You also need to ensure that the floor covering temperature does not exceed the covering-specific maximum temperature, e.g. 82 F for anything but tiles/stone (104 F). This requires a floor sensor embedded in the heater substrate. There aren't many thermostats that have inputs for floor temperature probes.
