The short version: This is Mysa’s newer hardware generation, sold and marketed specifically for fan-forced electric heaters (in-wall fan units, common in bathrooms and basements) and adding Matter support on top of the HomeKit, Alexa, and Google Assistant coverage Mysa already offers. As of this writing it’s a Canada-focused release — check Mysa.co and Best Buy Canada directly for current stock before assuming it’s available cross-border.
Who It’s For
This model targets electric fan-forced heaters: the wall-mounted units with a built-in fan that pushes heat into the room, commonly installed in bathrooms, basements, and additions where baseboard heaters alone don’t provide enough heat quickly. It’s built on the same newer V2 hardware platform Mysa uses for baseboard and convector heat, but this SKU and its marketing are specifically positioned around fan-forced compatibility and the added Matter smart home standard.
It is not a central-HVAC thermostat — it doesn’t control a furnace or heat pump. And it’s a different physical wiring target from Mysa’s in-floor model.
What’s Different From Mysa’s Baseboard Model
The core hardware generation (V2) is shared with Mysa’s flagship baseboard/convector thermostat, so most of the fundamentals carry over: 120V/240V handling in one device, no C-wire or hub required, 4-wire installation, and the same core app. What’s specific to this listing:
- Fan-forced heater compatibility is called out explicitly, which matters because fan-forced units draw and cycle power differently than a resistive baseboard element, and not every line-voltage smart thermostat is rated for that load profile
- Matter support is listed on top of HomeKit, Google Assistant, and Alexa — Matter is the newer cross-platform smart home standard, meaning broader long-term compatibility as more hubs and apps adopt it
- Retail availability is narrower right now (Best Buy and Mysa.co in Canada), consistent with this being a newer hardware rollout rather than the established, widely-stocked baseboard SKU
Setup & Compatibility
Wiring and wattage: Expect the same general requirements as Mysa’s other line-voltage thermostats — a 4-wire circuit and a maximum load in the 3,600–3,800W range. Confirm your specific fan-forced heater’s wattage and wiring configuration against Mysa’s published specs before buying, since fan-forced units vary more in electrical characteristics than plain resistive baseboard heaters.
No C-wire, no hub: Connects directly to 2.4GHz Wi-Fi.
Installation: Line-voltage electrical work. Turn off the breaker, verify power is off with a voltage tester, and follow the app’s wiring walkthrough. If you’re not confident with line-voltage wiring, hire a licensed electrician.
App & Ecosystem
Same Mysa app as the rest of the lineup: weekly scheduling, geofencing, energy reporting in kWh, and freeze protection.
Smart home support:
– Apple HomeKit: Supported
– Google Assistant: Supported
– Amazon Alexa: Supported
– Matter: Supported — the newer addition on this hardware generation
Buyer Feedback: What We Found
This is a newer hardware release with narrower retail distribution than Mysa’s established baseboard model, and we did not find a meaningful volume of independent reviews, forum threads, or retailer ratings specific to this fan-forced/Matter SKU as of this writing. General owner sentiment for Mysa’s core hardware and app (shared across the product line) has been positive in what we found for the baseboard model, but that shouldn’t be read as confirmed feedback on this specific unit’s fan-forced performance or Matter implementation. Treat this section as a caveat, not a gap we’re filling with assumptions.
Price & Value
| Mysa V2 / Fan-Forced | |
|---|---|
| Price (CAD) | ~$150–200 |
| Warranty | 2 years (expected, consistent with Mysa’s other models — confirm at purchase) |
| Subscription | None |
| Hub required | No |
Pros & Cons
Pros:
– Purpose-marketed for fan-forced heater compatibility, a load type not every line-voltage smart thermostat explicitly supports
– Adds Matter support alongside HomeKit, Alexa, and Google Assistant
– No hub required
– Built on Mysa’s established V2 hardware and app platform
Cons:
– Narrower retail availability than Mysa’s baseboard model (Best Buy Canada and Mysa.co currently)
– Independent review data is thin given the newer release
– Currently no confirmed US pricing or availability
– Same 4-wire requirement as other Mysa models, so 2-wire homes still need Sinopé instead
The Recommendation
Consider this model specifically if you have a fan-forced electric heater and want Matter support alongside HomeKit, Alexa, and Google Assistant. If you have standard baseboard or convector heat and don’t need Matter specifically, Mysa’s more established baseboard model has a longer track record and broader retail availability — see that review for the fuller buyer-feedback picture.
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between this and Mysa’s regular baseboard thermostat?
Both run on the same underlying hardware generation, but this SKU is marketed specifically for fan-forced heater compatibility and adds Matter support. Mysa’s baseboard/convector model has broader retail availability and a longer independent review history.
Does this thermostat support Matter?
Yes, in addition to Apple HomeKit, Google Assistant, and Amazon Alexa.
Is this available in the US?
Not with confirmed pricing as of this writing. Check Mysa.co directly for current US availability.
Does it require a hub?
No. It connects directly to your home Wi-Fi.
How many wires does it need?
Four, consistent with Mysa’s other baseboard-category thermostats. Two-wire homes should look at Sinopé instead.
Is there enough independent review data to trust this model?
Not much yet. It’s a newer release with narrower distribution, so we’re flagging that explicitly rather than borrowing feedback from Mysa’s more established baseboard SKU.
