Hi there!
I have an outbuilding for sleeping extra guests at the cottage (a Bunkie in Canadian speak) that I plan to heat with a 240V, 20A heater. I cannot seem to find a way to ensure that heater is never left on accidentally.
I was hoping for a mechanical countdown timer to control a construction heater (blast the room with warm air for 60 mins, use a plug-in oil heater the rest of the night). Countdown timers don't seem to handle 20A on a 240 circuit.
Another idea was to hookup a 240v heater (even electric baseboards) to a wifi thermostat that I could check to ensure it's off - but this solution doesn't seem to exist yet either.
Any silver bullet products or alternative ideas that might work? Thanks!
