To create fully working thermostat you will need two Input sensors (air and floor one), :
- Temperature sensor for air temperature input and if electric floor heating is used, also one for floor temperature
- an Output actuator
...
- virtual Thermostat device
...
- Hysteresis Smart Rule
- To create Input sensors go to module where physical temperature sensors are located and enable them (usually NTC, UI or Core module).:

2. To create an Output actuator, go to DO12 an output module where real output is located and enable this output as "Switch". This output relay will control related heating element.
...
3. To create Virtual Thermostat, go to Settings → Virtual devices → Add device → Thermostat

4. Open Thermostat Servise Service settings and define Air sensor (and Floor Sensors a Floor Sensor as well for electric floor heating) enabled in Step 1.

5. Add Smart Rule Temperature hysteresis controller with following settings
- Mode = Heating fixed (there are more options explained here Heating and Cooling modes
- Medium = Hot (fixed) Range = oscilation oscillation range +/- value, default value 0.5 Degrees, Output device = Output actuator, Limit temperature + Lmit Limit temperature Sensor = usually floor temperature sensor with the limit temperature value
