[RFI] Radiant floor heating

[Pete Smith]

Well, we are within days of embarking on a bathroom remodeling featuring 
a heated floor.  I've looked at the thermostat/control units, and 
considering that they go in a standard single-gang outlet box, I suspect 
they are microprocessor based and work by simply cycling the power on 
and off to the heated appliance.  Of course, they have to incorporate a 
switching mode power supply (I think) so there may be issues there.  The 
bathroom is right next to the shack, so there may be some bypasses and 
inductors in my future.
