Side-by-Side Comparison
| Spec | Mysa Smart Thermostat for Electric Baseboard Heaters V2 (MYSA-V2-0 / BB2001NAUS) | Mysa Smart Thermostat LITE for Electric Baseboard Heaters |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $159.00 | $99.00 |
| Release Year | 2021 | 2023 |
| System Voltage | Line voltage 120V or 240V AC, 16A maximum — 3,800W at 240V or 1,900W at 120V, on a 20A breaker. This is the opposite of every 24V thermostat here; a low-voltage model will not run baseboard heat and this will not run a furnace | Line voltage 120V or 240V AC, 16A maximum — 3,800W at 240V or 1,900W at 120V, identical to the V2. Not compatible with any 24V system |
| C-Wire Required | Not applicable — line-voltage thermostats have no C wire. It does need both line conductors (L1 and L2/neutral) present in the box, so a two-wire switch loop will not work | Not applicable — line voltage. Both line conductors must be present in the gang box |
| Adapter / Power Kit Included | Not applicable | Not applicable |
| Heating & Cooling Stages | Heating only, on/off line-voltage switching. No cooling and no staging | Heating only, on/off line-voltage switching. No cooling and no staging |
| Heat Pump & Aux Heat | No. Mysa states it does not work with 24V furnaces or central air, millivolt systems, central hydronic boilers, or electric in-floor heating, which needs a different Mysa product | No. Same exclusions as the V2: no 24V furnaces or central air, no millivolt, no central hydronic boilers, no electric in-floor heating |
| Humidifier / Ventilator Terminals | None | None |
| Remote Sensors | None. Mysa's model is one thermostat per heater circuit, so each room is its own zone rather than a sensor network | None. One thermostat per heater circuit |
| Occupancy Detection | Light and proximity sensors wake and dim the display on the V2. Away control is app geofencing. There is no room occupancy sensing | None. The LITE drops the V2's light and proximity sensors entirely, and there is no humidity sensor either. Away control is app geofencing |
| Matter Support | Not listed for the baseboard models. Mysa's own Matter article covers the central-HVAC Smart Thermostat and says Matter is 'expected in early 2026 via firmware update' | Not listed for the baseboard models |
| Voice & Smart Home Platforms | Mysa app, Apple HomeKit, Amazon Alexa, Google Home | Mysa app, Apple HomeKit, Amazon Alexa, Google Home |
| Utility Rebates & Demand Response | Mysa states both baseboard models support utility demand-response programs, and the V2 is stocked across US utility rebate marketplaces | Mysa states the LITE supports utility demand-response programs and it is stocked in US utility rebate marketplaces |
| Account or Subscription Needed | No subscription — Mysa markets the app as 100% free | No subscription |
| Warranty | 60 months | 60 months |
| Colors | White | White |

Pros & Cons
Mysa Smart Thermostat for Electric Baseboard Heaters V2 (MYSA-V2-0 / BB2001NAUS)
Pros
- +One of the very few smart thermostats that actually controls 120/240V electric baseboard heat, which no Nest, ecobee, Sensi or Honeywell model here can touch
- +Real energy monitoring in watts per heater, so you can see which room is eating the bill
- +Apple HomeKit, Alexa and Google support with no hub, on a 5-year warranty
- +One thermostat per heater means genuine per-room zoning without buying a sensor ecosystem
Cons
- −16A / 3,800W ceiling at 240V, and it needs both L1 and L2 in the box — a two-wire switch loop or an oversized heater bank is a hard no
- −Heating only, on/off. No cooling, no staging, no humidifier, no ventilator
- −No Matter. Mysa's Matter rollout is documented for the central-HVAC thermostat, not the baseboard line
- −Warranty sources conflict: Mysa's own page claims 5 years while SupplyHouse's listing for MYSA-V2-0 says 2
- −You need one per heater circuit, so a four-room apartment is four thermostats and four installs
Mysa Smart Thermostat LITE for Electric Baseboard Heaters
Pros
- +Under $100 for a real line-voltage smart thermostat with HomeKit, Alexa and Google support and a 5-year warranty
- +Identical 16A / 3,800W switching capability to the $159 V2 — you lose features, not capacity
- +Physically the smallest thermostat here, which matters when you are fitting several in one apartment
- +Launched at $109 in 2023 and now sells for $99, one of the few products here whose price has gone down
Cons
- −No energy monitoring, no humidity sensor and no light or proximity sensors — the V2's whole value-add is stripped out
- −Buttons rather than a touchscreen, and Mysa's app carries most of the configuration
- −Heating only. No cooling, no staging, no accessory control
- −No Matter on the baseboard line
- −Still one unit per heater circuit, so a whole-home baseboard retrofit is a multi-hundred-dollar project
