What's good
- Built for line voltage, the only kind of thermostat that is safe on a baseboard heater
- Tight electronic control instead of a dial's wide swings, which our baseboard guide credits with less overshoot
- Per-room schedules make baseboard heat's real advantage (heat only the rooms in use) automatic
- No minimum load, so it suits a single small heater
- No subscription, per Mysa
What's not
- Not for low-voltage (24 V) furnaces, central air or heat pumps, millivolt gas fireplaces, boilers or electric in-floor heat
- Needs a neutral or L2 wire at the box, and the heaters on it must total no more than 3,800 W at 240 V
- No humidity sensor, energy charts or power monitoring: Mysa lists those on its V2, not the LITE
- Line-voltage wiring: if you aren't comfortable working on a 240 V circuit, have an electrician fit it
Our verdict
For baseboard heat, this is the upgrade our guide describes: an electronic line-voltage thermostat that holds a narrow band and can set back unused rooms on a schedule. The LITE is the model Mysa's US store sells today; it keeps the control and scheduling and leaves out the V2's humidity sensor and energy charts. Check two things first: that the wall box has a neutral or L2 wire, and that the heaters it will switch add up to no more than 3,800 W at 240 V (1,900 W at 120 V).
