meross Smart Thermostat For Electric Baseboard And In-Wall Heaters
The meross Smart Thermostat supports 120–240V high‑voltage systems and lists a maximum output of 1920W at 120V and 3840W at 240V. It requires at least four wires in the wall box for installation.
- Integrates with Apple Home, Alexa, Google Home and SmartThings for voice and app control.
- Marketed as an easy install option, with remote control via app and scheduling functions.
- Compatible with baseboard, convector, fan‑forced, and in‑ceiling radiant systems when wiring is suitable.
Meross targets users looking for broad smart platform compatibility and a simplified installation workflow for high‑voltage heating circuits.
Cadet F Series 36″ Electric Baseboard Heater (3F750-1W)
The Cadet F Series is a traditional hardwired baseboard heater intended to be used with a separate thermostat. It is constructed from metal with powder coating and includes a junction box with ground.

- Model 3F750-1W offers 750W at 120V output and is suitable for smaller rooms or supplemental heating.
- Requires a compatible thermostat (manual or smart) to provide remote or scheduled control.
- Built for durability with 25 gauge steel and a full metal junction box.
Cadet is a widely used OEM-style baseboard that pairs with smart thermostats (like Mysa or meross) for remote control capabilities.
KING 4K1210BW K Series Baseboard Heater 4′ / 1000W
The KING K Series is a 4-foot hardwired baseboard heater offering 1000W at 120V. It is not a plug-in model and must be wired into the home electrical system.
- Features an aluminum ribbon fin element for efficient heat transfer and a full-length safety cutout.
- Designed to be controlled by a compatible wall thermostat or smart thermostat for remote operation.
- Common choice for homeowners replacing older units or specifying a reliable permanent baseboard heater.
Pairing the KING unit with a smart thermostat provides remote scheduling and app-based control while keeping the heater’s proven element design.
Buying Guide: How To Choose A Baseboard Heater With Remote
Selecting the right baseboard heater or smart thermostat for remote control depends on wiring, heating capacity, control preferences, and integration needs. Below are key considerations and comparisons to help choose the best option for your situation.
System Type And Wiring Compatibility
Confirm whether you have a high/line-voltage baseboard system (120–240V) or a low-voltage setup. Most smart thermostats listed here require four wires including a neutral or second live conductor. Two‑wire older installations will not work with these smart thermostats without rewiring or a relay device.
Thermostat Vs. Integrated Heater
There are two main approaches:
- Smart Thermostats (Mysa, meross): Replace your wall thermostat and provide app, voice, and scheduling control to existing baseboard heaters. Best when you want smart control while keeping existing heating elements.
- Hardwired Baseboard Units (Cadet, KING): Physical heater units that deliver heat; pair with a thermostat for remote control. Choose these when the heater itself needs replacing, then add a smart thermostat for remote management.
Power And Room Sizing
Match wattage to room size. Common outputs range from 750W to 3800W. Use local climate, room insulation, and square footage to estimate required wattage. When using smart thermostats, ensure the thermostat’s maximum load rating matches the connected heaters.
Smart Features And Remote Control Options
Consider the platforms you use: HomeKit, Alexa, Google Home, SmartThings, and vendor apps. Mysa emphasizes HomeKit compatibility and adaptive display features. Meross focuses on platform breadth and an easier install pitch. Check whether remote control is via an app, voice, or a physical remote, and whether the manufacturer charges subscription fees (Mysa advertises a free app).
Installation Complexity And Safety
Smart thermostats for high-voltage systems typically require shut-off of breaker power and basic electrical skills or a licensed electrician. Verify junction box size and wire counts. Heaters themselves must be hardwired per local electrical codes; consult an electrician for older homes or two‑wire circuits.
Energy Efficiency And Scheduling
Remote thermostats enable scheduling, geofencing, and temperature setbacks to reduce energy use. Compare whether the device supports detailed schedules, energy usage reports, or learning algorithms. Even with efficient heaters, smart scheduling can improve comfort and lower bills.
Durability And Build Quality
For baseboard units, prioritize robust materials like powder‑coated steel and reliable heating elements (aluminum ribbon fins, PTC elements in wall heaters). For thermostats, look for rated load capacity and good thermal sensing to avoid cycling issues.
Noise, Airflow, And Placement
Hardwired baseboards are usually silent convection devices. Wall‑mounted PTC or fan‑forced space heaters (not the primary focus here) introduce airflow and noise considerations. If pairing with a thermostat, ensure the thermostat’s location reflects average room temperature, avoiding drafts or direct sunlight.
Multiple Comparison Perspectives
- Wiring Perspective: If your home has a four‑wire box, Mysa or meross are viable smart thermostat options. Two‑wire systems require rewiring or alternative solutions.
- Control Perspective: If you want robust voice and multi-platform integration, compare compatibility lists: Mysa (strong HomeKit), meross (broad platform support).
- Replacement vs. Upgrade: Replace an old heater with a Cadet or KING unit and add a smart thermostat for remote control, or retrofit your existing heater with a smart thermostat if the heater is sound.
- Energy Perspective: Smart thermostats with scheduling and temperature setbacks typically yield more savings than replacing heaters alone.
Use the product load ratings, wiring requirements, and smart platform compatibility to determine the correct combination of heater and thermostat for your home. When in doubt about wiring or load matching, consult a licensed electrician to ensure safe installation and optimal performance.
