The short version: WarmlyYours specializes in electric radiant floor heating, and the nSpire Touch and SmartStat are its Wi-Fi thermostats built around that use case, floor sensors included. Feedback from Home Depot Canada and WarmlyYours’ own Canadian review pages is mixed: easier programming than older models and strong customer service, but some reviewers describe plastic parts feeling cheap or breaking during install. Worth it if you’re installing WarmlyYours floor heating specifically; not a general-purpose smart thermostat pick.

Who It’s For

These thermostats are for electric radiant in-floor heating, not baseboard, forced-air, or wall-heater setups. If you’re installing WarmlyYours heating cable or mats under tile, laminate, or engineered hardwood, the floor-sensor integration makes this the natural match. For baseboard or convector heat, Sinopé’s TH1400ZB and Mysa’s in-floor model are the more established Canadian alternatives.

Design & Build

nSpire Touch is WarmlyYours’ touchscreen model; SmartStat is a separate programmable line, both for the same in-floor heating category. Canadian Home Depot reviewers generally describe the interface as an improvement over the company’s older non-Wi-Fi thermostats and straightforward to program. On the downside, a number of reviews mention plastic housing and button components that feel cheap, with some breakage reported during installation, worth handling carefully when mounting.

Setup & Compatibility

Both models pair with a floor sensor that reads subfloor or slab temperature directly, a feature specific to radiant heating rather than general baseboard thermostats. Wiring is standard line-voltage for the heating cable circuit. Wi-Fi setup connects the thermostat to your home network for app scheduling and remote access. WarmlyYours’ installation support and customer service are consistently cited as strengths in reviews, useful given that floor-heating installs involve more nuance (cable wattage matching, sensor placement) than a plug-and-play retrofit thermostat.

App & Ecosystem

The app covers scheduling and remote temperature control, with Alexa and Google Assistant support on current Wi-Fi models. We found no confirmation of Apple HomeKit or Matter support, and no confirmed Hilo or Neviweb integration, so if Hydro-Québec demand-response participation matters to you, Sinopé is the more established option for floor heating in Quebec.

The Recommendation

Buy WarmlyYours if you’re installing electric radiant floor heating and want a thermostat matched to that system, especially with WarmlyYours cable or mats. Install carefully given the reported plastic component issues.
