Possible to fit smart thermostat with switching live?
I have a dumb Drayton thermostat, currently fed with a single 240v cable. I assume that the thermostat is switching the 240 depending on temperature as it just has a bimetallic strip. I want to fit a smart thermostat but I'm unsure on the terminology involved, can you get a smart one that can run from a battery and switch 240, or recharge from the 240 when it's active? If this exists, what is this called and what should I be looking for? submitted by /u/ben_db [link] [comments]
