Recommend a thermostat to me

Hello I have a job going with many Tekmar 519 thermostats. These are simple heat only thermostats for in floor heating that come with a floor sensor. The homeowner has decided they do not like the white color thermostats, so I am looking for something heat only that is a black color and might be a good fit for a radiant floor. Bonus points if it accepts a floor sensor as I do believe they already have these floor sensors installed but it is not required

Turn off room sensing and put them in closets or the mechanical room. It's done all the time.
Or you can offer the 561 and let them play with the thermostats on their phones. That's always fun.0 -
This is a possible backup plan, and the way I would normally expect houses like this to be set up. They seem pretty set on thermostats in each zone though so I am on the hunt for some options.HVACNUT said:Turn off room sensing and put them in closets or the mechanical room. It's done all the time.

I have gutted out the circuit board with display, painted the edges of mount plate and front cover with flat black enamel then put board back in. Board is either mounted to case with push pins or screws. Works great, Done it with Vision pro thermostats also. More than 1 way to skin a cat. Does not take long either. You may have to scrape off the paint on the plastic front cover where the soft up & down arrows go through front cover so they dont stick to the openings in front cover when pushed. Good luck.

Lux Kono is a decent stat and you can get a variety of colored faceplates. No floor sensing and it can be set up and used with wifi or not. Can be a little tricky to set up wifi but after you do 1 or 2 not too difficult.1

Only option is Celsius? I'd have to hang a conversation chart next to it.CAROLYANG said:The black thermostat I'm using，it's a color touchscreen wifi thermostat. https://www.breezecontrols.com/wired-thermostat.html

It can choose ℉ or ℃0 -
Ok. I didn't see that in the literature. Just said Celsius.CAROLYANG said:It can choose ℉ or ℃0 -
