Dave, I can't do that
Hi All,
Just upgrading the 4-wire baseboard thermostats in the house to these digital 2-wire ones. I bought one to try and it is working well. It's 240vac into 2 x 1500w baseboard heaters in series. I like it and will replace some ofthe others in the house.

But, it has no on/off switch which means before going to bed I need to holdthe "Down" button while is clunks down to 40F. With four more in the houseI will have to start half an hour before bedtime. OK, kidding a little there.
Can anyone help with a schematic and then directions where to cut and I will hack at the circuit board traces and solder the leads for a switch?
I'd like the switch to safely disable the TRIAC control circuit without interfering with the current settings. I don't care if it displays the temp when it is off or not. That's the normal mode, but it doesn't matter if it isdisplayed or not as long as the settings remain, well, until the next power outage. {gasp}
Thanks
Dave
