In-wall switch control for 25A Patio Heater

Devices & Integrations
1

Hi folks

We’re building a house and I’m going all smartthings, but running into a challenge with some patio heaters we have.

Each heater has 2 elements … each running 25amps @ 240V. Right now the electrician has 2 dual-stack switches to control each element.

I’m trying to avoid using the heavy duty exterior mounted solutions like the Aeotec ones:

Any thoughts or ideas?

For 25 A, and particularly for a heater, you need a heavy duty control device. The Aeotec model you link to is actually going to be the smallest of the choices. So I would just go with that one.
