Plug in temp switch?

Access

We have one of these electric fireplaces in our summerhouse shed...



I currently have this plugged into a normal plug in timer and its set to come on for half an hour during the night in the winter time just to heat the shed, because there is some computer equipment out there that i dont want to get too low a tempeture.
(The shed is aeroboard wall insulated but not totally sealed so it would only need a short blast of heat on a cold night.)

My question is... is there such a thing as a plug in temp switch... that would turn on the heater when the temp out in the shed dropped below a set temp instead of using a timer? (as some nights it would not get as cold and the heater wouldnt be needed - and because these heaters arent cheap to run!)

Any info appreciated!

a wireless stat(battery/rf) and plug-in receiver would be a good solution if it's available.

If I had been quick I could have been the inventer of these. I remember visiting every decent electrical supplier in Dublin asking for such an item, several rang their suppliers, such a product didnt exist. 3 months later, every diy shop seemed to have them.
