Ive an eco panel radiator in my house that is currently on a 3 pin plug. Im looking to install a smart controller for heating system and would like to control this eco panel as a zone and have my oil central heating as another zone.
Im advised to use a contactor to avoid running the heater current though the smart controller.

The heater is small at 450w.
