Wi-fi thermostat on a gas-fired boiler w/baseboard heating

Hi all, I think I have a simple question. Will a wi-fi enabled thermostat work on a gas-fired, hot water boiler with baseboard heating? The reason I ask is because all the literature I read makes reference to furnace rather than boiler. Thanks for any input.

It will work. Whether you want to use features such as deep non-occupied setbacks and so on is another question, since they will cost you fuel.
If you do put one in, be sure -- be absolutely sure -- that your wi-fi router is protected by a secure, unique network name andpassword and that the thermostat also is protected by a secure, unique password.Br. Jamie, osb

Inexplicably, over 85% of the USA heats their home with a forced-air furnace. That's why a great deal of literature on things like this seem to speak to that market. It will work fine on your equipment.Contact John "JohnNY" Cataneo, Master Plumber for Consulting Work

It would need a common wire so may not be a DIY job.0
