I recently added a heater on a smart outlet and toggled it on and off vs a BLE Temp / Humidity sensor from Govee.
You could do something similar based on your needs and comforts.
I would check to see the wattage/amps the heater pulls and what the smart plug is rated for. Don't want to melt it or start a fire by mistake.
If anyone is looking for a recommendation I’ve been using sonoff s31’s for my ac unit and gaming pc’s. They track power and can easily be flashed with tasmota so you don’t need to deal with any cloud bs
Edit: autocorrect is trash
I'm using s40's myself! Hoping I can flash with tasmota, didn't know that was an option!
