Electric heating version often carry more current, but would still work. Under floor heating version will likely work, but now looking at the hysteresis, with an on/off boiler control, now rare with gas, each time the boiler turns off, any heat in the boiler is lost out of the flue, and each time it turns on it runs flat out until the return water gets warm, so turning off/on wastes energy, but to stop the room temperature over shooting some thermostats use a mark/space ratio as they approach the set temperature so the temperature does not over shoot, although it does stop the over shoot, it also wastes energy due to method used.
So in the main we control room temperature with thermostatic radiator valves (TRV) however unless linked to the boiler electrically as summer arrives the boiler will start cycling on/off as it has no way to know when no longer required, it is controlled by return water temperature so no circulation means no control.
So we fit a wall thermostat, and we fit it in a room kept cool, so it can be set low enough to switch off boiler in the summer, and also it needs to be on a lower floor, with no outside doors, this is often not possible so we use a compromise and fit in the hall, and also use a TRV in the hall, but of course need setting to same schedule.
So all the wall thermostat does is turn off boiler when not required, it does not control room temperature, that is what the TRV is for, so in real terms having a large difference between on temperature and off temperature works well, with the old mechanical thermostat not connecting the neutral resulted in it working very well.
But with oil boilers or under floor heating and open plan houses we want that difference to be as little as possible.
There are some clever thermostats which record how long it takes to heat the room, and switch off allowing for the heat left in the radiator, drayton TRV electronic heads do this, as does the Nest thermostat, there are also thermostats which don't simply turn boiler off/on but up/down often using opentherm protocol again Nest is one example. And there are wall thermostats which connect to the TRV heads so know when not required Hive is an example of this.
But people go to university and train as heating engineers so they can select the best options, they need over level 3 to be considered an engineer, although I have trained over level 3 it is not in heating, I am more into near enough engineering.
