Mysa for Baseboards Overview

Mysa for Baseboards is a smart thermostat designed for line-voltage electric heating systems. This article explains what systems it works with, what you need for installation, and how to get started.

Compatible Systems

• Electric baseboard heaters
• Convection heaters
• Fan-forced heaters and toe kick heaters
• Radiant ceiling heaters

Caution Mysa for Baseboards is not compatible with 24-volt (low-voltage) central HVAC systems. If your thermostat has thin wires labeled R, C, W, Y, G, or O/B, you need the Mysa Smart Thermostat instead.

What You Need Before Installing

You're ready for Mysa for Baseboards if you have:

• An existing wall thermostat (not a dial on the heater itself)
• An electric baseboard, convection, fan-forced, or radiant heater
• 120V or 240V wiring at your thermostat location
• 4 or more wires in your thermostat gang box (two bundles)
• A heater within wattage limits: 3800W at 240V or 1900W at 120V (covers ~90% of homes)
• A smartphone with the Mysa app (iOS or Android)

Note Only see 2 wires at your thermostat? This is extremely rare — check inside the gang box for extra capped wires tucked inside. Most setups have 4–6 wires. If you truly only have 2 wires, the location cannot power a smart thermostat.

Tools Required

You need a medium Phillips screwdriver. We also recommend having these on hand:

• Small Phillips screwdriver
• Wire strippers
• Pliers
• Voltage tester

Warning Mysa for Baseboards connects to high-voltage (120/240V) wiring. Always turn off power at the breaker before installation. If you're not comfortable working with electrical wiring, hire a licensed electrician.
