SunTouch has been a name in floor heating for decades. The ConnectPlus thermostat brings that expertise into the smart home, with a clear focus on managing electric floor systems specifically. This isn’t a general-purpose thermostat retrofitted for floors. It understands that heating a slab of tile or wood requires a different approach than warming the air in a room.

The 4.3-inch touchscreen is the hub. It displays both floor temperature and ambient air temperature, giving you a complete picture. SmartStart auto-scheduling learns your routine to pre-warm the floors before you wake up or return home, which is crucial for efficient electric heat. Remote access via the app means you can turn it on for an early arrival, and voice control through Alexa or Google Assistant handles basic commands hands-free.

Setup is straightforward if you’re replacing an existing floor heating thermostat. The system uses both a floor sensor and air sensor for precise control, preventing overheating. Just note that this is designed solely for electric floor heating systems; it won’t work with hydronic radiant floors or forced-air furnaces. For its intended purpose, it delivers reliable, connected control that actually understands how floor heating works in daily life.
