MOES targets a specific and often overlooked problem: modernizing old electric baseboard heaters. This smart thermostat replaces those clunky dials with precise digital control and app connectivity, which is a genuine upgrade for a system many assume is stuck in the past.

The frosted display and physical knob make it feel intuitive. You can adjust the temperature with a twist, avoiding the frustration of tapping a tiny touchscreen. The real benefit is the scheduling. Setting a weekday schedule to lower the heat after you leave and warm the house before you return can lead to noticeable savings on your electric bill. Voice control through Alexa or Google Assistant means you can adjust the temperature from the couch.

Be aware this install requires a bit more electrical know-how. Your wall box needs at least four wires, including a neutral, for it to power its Wi-Fi radio. If your existing setup is just two wires, this unit won’t work. For those with the correct wiring, it’s a straightforward swap that finally brings your baseboard heat into the smart home.
