Yes, it doesn’t use any of the OEM board. Def can.

…that’s what a thermostat does.

Thank you very much for responding so is this normal or do I need to get another thermostat

I done everything to the diagram on this

I used a Non-Insulated double Male-Female adapter. It’s basically a splitter. Here’s what it looks like, www.3m.com/3M/en_US/p/d/v000323405/

@@MDcraftsman I have one of those and it don't fit in the slot on the relay without some sort of modification

@@MDcraftsman Also the other two connections on the relay for the thermostat are smaller than the spade connectors that you put in the comments. What spade connectors are you using for those?

@@JeffDietenberger I used the splitter that came with the original thermostat. Since you wont be needing the thermostat that came with this heater for this setup.

@@JeffDietenberger ​ In regards to the spade connectors, I also used some of the wires that came from the original thermostat that already has the spade connectors on both ends. For the low voltage wires, I used a spade connector that is 4.8mm wide, see specs of the relay. I’ve updated the list in my description for the correct spade connector, from Amazon. One more thing, please make sure that the electrical connections are tight. This is critical to a safe wiring job. If wires come loose, you could get arcing. I hope I was able to answer your questions.

Sorry, I made it using raspberry pi.

Hi Paul, thanks for your comment. Yes, the thermostat is not connected to anything. The one wire that you see is what was left. One end is connected to one side of the thermostat and the other end is connected to the other side of the thermostat. If you look closely, it’s makes a U shape. I hope that makes sense. I guess I should of just removed the wire.

The contactor that came with my heater is a 240V. The model is S-P35T. Here is some information about it, www.directindustry.com/prod/shihlin-electric-engineering-corporation/product-65405-452277.html

Thanks for your comment. I used 16 AWG by GB Gardner Bender. I got mine from Menards. You can also buy them from Home Depot and Lowe’s. www.homedepot.com/p/Gardner-Bender-16-AWG-25-ft-Primary-Wire-Spool-Red-AMW-326/300689784

Thanks for your comment. On my next video I will turn it up.

Thanks for your comment. It is possible but sorry I don't know how to setup two heaters using one thermostat.

@@MDcraftsman Thank you for your reply. I saw that setup on my search but both of my heaters are wired to their own 30 amp breaker. Thank you for your time and thanks again for the reply...

Thanks for your comment. In my setup I have the blue wire connected to C, white wire connected to W, red wire connected to R. I hope this helps.

Thanks

Nest has a feature called Thermostat Safety Temperatures. Nest won’t let the temp drop below the safety temp set. And fortunately for you, the lowest value available in safety temp is 35 degrees F

What did you set the dial thermostat on the heater to?

@@chadbrooks9029 my garage is pretty insulated. I have mine set at 50 degrees Fahrenheit.

We bought it on ebay

Thank you! Cheers!

I used Walmart reusable plastic bags. Cut and hot glued them on wooden dowels.
