How do I wire a line voltage thermostat? I have a 80w wall fan and i want to control the temperature of my greenhouse. Pics attatched. Thanks for any help.
Where does the fan wires go and the power wires from the power supply? That electrical cable in the pic is for the fan.

Good morning! Hope I'm not getting back to you too late.

Since this is the fan, it looks like you have correctly put the black where the yellow dot connection is. For the power cord, the black will go where the red dot connection is. The whites on all cords get wire nutted together. The greens get connected to the green ground screw. If you can't get all the ground wires on the green screw, you can run a single wire from the green screw and wire nut the rest of the green wires to it.

Hope that makes sense!

Yes that does make sense and not too late at all. I did everything you describe except i didn't ground the green ones to the screw they are just wire nutted together. Ill have to do that to the screw when im home. Do you know also how to hook up the heater to this and the fan at the same time?

The black wire for the heater goes to the middle BLUE connection point. The white and green wires go with their matching colors with the wire nuts.
