I love Mysa because over 10% of homes in North America cannot install smart thermostats such as Nest or Ecobee due to incompatibility with high voltage heating systems. Mysa works with electric baseboards and fan-forced heaters and comes with all of the smart features homeowners expect in a smart thermostat. Genius.
I was really disappointed when I couldn't find a smart thermostat for several rooms which have electric baseboard heaters.
These rooms consume far more electricity for heating than other rooms/systems in the house so they would benefit the most from a smart thermostat.
Can't wait to try it.
@jevon You're absolutely right Jevon. Homes with electric baseboard heaters have much higher annual energy bills than their central heating equivalent. Although the upfront cost of outfitting your home with 5+ Mysa thermostats is greater than the upfront cost of Nest/Ecobee thermostat, the payback period of 1-2 years is comparable.
@lewwwk We hear you Michael. Mysa will work with you in-floor heating with some minor electrical work. Please reach out to me at andrew.murphy@empoweredhomes.ca for more information!
I pre-ordered mine. Can't wait to finally regain control of my home heating and save some money on my electric bill in the process. I have two small kids, and sometimes we forget to warm up their room before bed time and it's the worst feeling in the world. Looking forward to being worry free :)
@pfrankis Thanks Peter - Mysa will definitely help you maximize the efficiency and comfort of a multi-zoned home. We can't wait to help you be worry free :-D
Hey Product Hunters, Joshua Green here. I’m the CEO and Founder at Mysa!
I’m building this product because I was annoyed that were no “smart” thermostats that worked with the baseboard heaters in my home. Turns out i’m not alone and there's a ton of homeowners like me that want the Nest or Ecobee thermostat, but can’t due to the incompatibility between low voltage thermostats and high voltage heating systems.
Mysa is a smart, Wi-Fi thermostat, compatible with 120/240V AC heating systems and will ship with all of the features that homeowners expect in a smart thermostat such as geofencing, energy reports, and 3rd party integrations.
Our team has been hard at work developing Mysa for the past two years, and it is now time to share it with the world. We’re very excited to hear what you all have to say, and we’re here to answer any questions as quickly as possible.

Thanks Tristan (@writerpollock) for hunting us!
after finding out my family room addition was electric & that Nest or Ecobee3 wouldnt be compatible, i did a search on smart Thermostats that were compatible with electric baseboards & Mysa came up, and for less the $100 it was a good deal & should recieve it just in time before the winter :)
@sgiul1975 The Google Assistant skill is already published. The company states that the mobile apps will be available for download in early December. You can view what the apps look like on their blog: https://getmysa.com/blogs/2017/1....
Anxious to try this product. Also am replacing old line voltage baseboard electric heaters. Any input on WHICH baseboard heaters work well with the Mysa Thermostat? I'm seeing posts on some company's electric baseboard heaters that they don't recommend using any smart thermostat with their heaters. Also, seeing on some people's posts that Mysa isn't working with their baseboard heaters (Double-pole). Don't want to purchase heaters that won't play well with this thermostat!
Ooohhhh very cool!! I can never figure out the Nest so glad someone's making something better. And it's Canadian!!! We know change in temperature :) Good job team!
