The ThermoSphere T-MO Black (T-MO2) is the dark-finish variant of ThermoSphere's smart electric heating thermostat — identical in specification to the white T-MO1. The black finish suits contemporary bathrooms with dark brassware, matt black fixtures, monochrome tile schemes and modern interiors where a white thermostat would stand out. Connects via Wi-Fi 2.4GHz and Bluetooth (BLE), fits a 35mm deep back box, controls up to 16A / 3,600W. Features: ZeroX™, active power metering, 2 NTC sensor inputs, DirectLink, relay mode, OTA updates, open API. 3m NTC10K probe included. UKCA, CE, PSTI certified. 5-year warranty.

Key Features
Wi-Fi 2.4GHz and Bluetooth (BLE) — Works Without Internet
T-MO connects to both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth simultaneously. Bluetooth enables full app setup even with no broadband on site — useful during new builds. Once Wi-Fi is live, the thermostat is controllable remotely from anywhere.

ZeroX™ Technology — Extended Relay Lifespan
Proprietary zero-crossing relay switching ensures the relay fires only at the AC waveform's zero point — eliminating the voltage spike that erodes relay contacts over time. Result: a significantly longer thermostat lifespan than standard switching.
ZeroX™Zero-crossing switch
Active Power Metering and Energy Metering
Measures and logs the actual kWh consumption of the connected heating load in real time. Displayed in the T-MO app for running-cost tracking and system verification.
Supports 2 wired sensors simultaneously. Compatible with NTC probes of 6.8, 10 (default), 12, 15, 22, 33, 47 and 100kΩ at 25°C — covering virtually all existing floor probes, making retrofits straightforward. A 3m NTC10K probe is included.

DirectLink — Multiple Thermostats Work Together
DirectLink sends mode and setpoint wirelessly from one T-MO to linked units — ideal for open-plan multi-zone spaces or syncing schedules across rooms.
DirectLinkMulti-zone sync
Relay Mode — Schedules Electric Towel Rails
T-MO operates as a scheduled on/off relay without temperature sensing — perfect for controlling electric towel bars where only timing matters.

OTA Updates and Open API for BMS Integration
Over-the-air firmware updates add features without manual intervention. The open API enables integration with building management systems (BMS) and third-party smart home platforms.

ThermoSphere Remote Commissioning — Zero Callbacks
Grant ThermoSphere temporary access via the app after installation. Their team remotely sets up the schedule, optimises settings and briefs the homeowner — the installer walks away after wiring.
ℹ Installation: All electrical connections must be made by a qualified electrician in accordance with BS 7671. Register your product with ThermoSphere online to activate your lifetime warranty.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the T-MO work without a Wi-Fi connection?
Yes. T-MO connects via Bluetooth as well as Wi-Fi. Bluetooth enables full app configuration even without broadband on site. The LED display also gives basic on/off and temperature control without any app.
What floor sensors are compatible?
NTC probes of 6.8, 10, 12, 15, 22, 33, 47 and 100kΩ at 25°C. Default is 10kΩ. Measure your existing probe with a multimeter to confirm compatibility before replacing a thermostat.
How does remote commissioning work?
After wiring, the installer connects T-MO to Wi-Fi and grants ThermoSphere temporary access in the app. ThermoSphere remotely programmes the schedule, checks sensors, optimises settings and contacts the homeowner. The installer leaves immediately after the electrical connection.
What is the maximum cable cross-section?
2.5mm². Use ferrules on stranded cable. Maximum terminal torque: 2 Nm.
What is the difference between the black and white T-MO?
The two models are identical in specification. The only difference is finish colour. Choose whichever suits your room and décor.
Which rooms is the black finish best suited to?
The black T-MO2 is popular in bathrooms with dark brassware or matt black fixtures, modern kitchen extensions, home offices with dark décor and contemporary new builds. Technically identical to the white T-MO1 in every respect.
