Hi all,
so, the garage has started getting colder now. So i'm thinking of heating sources.
I haven't yet completed the insulation as it's a month or two before the sparky is booked to wired the place out so until he's sorted I can't really crack on.
The garage is 9m x 3m however I have put a partition up creating a 6m x 3m space and a 3m x 3m space. I will more than likely put a door between the two as I've no plans to heat the 3x3 area.
With the 6x3 however, this is my man cave so I want it comfortable - I don't intend to be out here in my underwear though!
I wondered if anyone knows of a plug that I could use to control the heating? What i'm after is a thermostat plug i.e. I want it to monitor the room temp, then if told, turn the heater on which is simply a wheeled plug in heater
Ideally I'd like this controlled via an app - so I can watch TV in the lounge and if I think "might go play darts a bit later" I can just flick the heater on for an hour or two and bring the temperature up.
any suggestions?
if not something like this:

it's just I have a 3kw oil filled heater which is a lot cheaper to run
