Can I use my dimmer stat on a heat mat?
Hi there,
Just a quick question. I purchased a Habistat dimming thermostat a few weeks ago but have now found that I no longer need it for my set up as I have another one. I was just thinking though, rather than having to sell the dimmer stat to buy a pulse stat or mat stat, would it be okay to use the dimmer stat with a heat mat? (Thinking of getting a Corn for my partner) - Or will the dimmer stat just turn off the mat if it goes over the required heat? Feel free to bang me on the head if i'm being thick.

a dimmer stat needs a minimum load of 40watts before it realises there's something connected to it.. So the heat mat will probably just keep getting hotter and hotter.

Okay, thank you for your reply. I'll just sell or swap my dimmer stat for a pulse/mat stat then.
