    How does it sense demand?

    We have an older system here wired to an old thermostat that uses a bimetallic strip to click on/off.

    Putting a shelly relay in parallel with it was trivial.

      It has a thermostat with a strip that clicks but that doesn’t seem to be the only way that it decides to do stuff. I don’t want to keep it either way, not many people service it, its massive and takes up a ton of room in my kitchen, its loud and the heat isnt retained.
