Ditra Heat -E-RT Programmable Heating Floor Thermostat with Touch Screen 120 V / 240 V

This is the 2nd location on my property where I have this thermostat installed. One for heat coils under a wood floor and this most recent install to replace a Honeywell thermostat controlling coils under a 290-sqft tile floor. I really like the ease of install, set-up, and programming of these thermostats. One item that may catch a DIYer off guard is when you set up the thermostat it asks you for floor heating coil load. Well I installed this floor 6 years ago and no longer have that information. For what it's worth the thermostat uses this data to more accurately calculate the usage statistics so I don't *think* it has any impact on actual functionality (at least none that I can see). That said a quick Google on the topic found an explanation from Warmly Yours that gets you close enough if you want to use this feature. Take the square footage of heated area (note this is NOT necessarily the square footage of your room since heating coils are not ran under cabinets, or maybe not in a closet, etc.). Anyway take the best guess of square footage of the heated area, multiply that by 15W for a tile floor or 12W for a laminate floor (these wattage numbers are pretty standard for electric floor heating coils)... then divide that result by 1000 to get the load in kW. For example my heated floor area is 290 square feet x 15W = 4350... then 4350/1000=4.35kW which is what you should set your thermostat to when asked the floor load in kW. I hope that helps a DIY person set up your thermostat as I was stumped when I first encountered the question. All in all, the new thermostat has only been installed for 2 days but is working as it should. An identical thermostat at my cabin in Northern WI has been installed for 5 years and it too is working well for me. Assuming my new one functions for an acceptable period of time I will definitely buy again!!!

Au début je croyais qu’il devait avoir une sonde de température incluse. Mais ce n’est pas le cas. Les 2 sondes sont fournis avec le câble chauffant. C’est la raison pourquoi je l’ai racheté.

This is a replacement after 10 years. The last one I installed about 6 months ago had a problem setting it up but Schutler rep walked me through it and was a quick fix. I kept his emails and theis one was a breeze to install

SCHLUTER DITRE HEAT THERMOSTAT IS GREAT WITH MY DITRE HEATED BATHROOM FLOOR. EXPENSIVE BUT I GOT IT QUICKLY AND READY FOR INSTALL WITH MY FLOOR.

My heated floors in my bathroom hadn’t worked in about a year. I thought I was going to have to rip up the floor. Thought I would try this first, it’s fixed and working great! So happy! Looks nicer than the old one also!
