What it controls
The SunTouch 81020606 Floor Heating Thermostat is a floor heating for electric heat that runs at line voltage (120 V per the maker).
The listing doesn't state a maximum load. Don't install it until you've confirmed the rating covers your heaters' total watts. How to work out the load.
As a floor-heating thermostat it typically works with a floor sensor; the floor system's maker specifies which thermostats it supports, and that comes first.
Connectivity: Wi-Fi, so the schedule and setpoint can be changed from a phone.
This isn't a 24-volt job. Turn the breaker off, check with a tester, and hire an electrician for anything you're unsure of. Why baseboard heat needs its own thermostat.
Also on the listing: dimensions of 2.75 in (D) x 3.75 in (W) x 5.75 in (H) and a digital.
