My recommendation was to contact the manufacturer and get specific wiring diagrams how to make the connections so that BOTH sets of controls will work.

Dam VT, sounds complicated. If you can’t figure out that configuration, I certainly can’t. Why does all this new stuff have to be so complicated, I so miss the simplicity of the way they used to make stuff. The below picture shows the heater in our sauna, which has only two controls that are built into the heater, the heat output and the timer. I taped the heat output control into place so it can’t be changed, since it is set where I like it and got tired of people messing with the setting. To use it, just turn on the timer and wait about ten minutes and the sauna gets to about 145 degrees, then scoop some water over the lava rocks and it rapidly gets to about 160 delightful and steamy degrees. It was very easy to wire, just strip the wires and attach to the screws in the terminal box as outlined in the owners manual. I had to lay it flat so I could access the terminal box on the bottom of the heater, then lift and hang the heater on the mounting brackets. If you can figure out the wiring diagram on the sauna in question and want some help wiring it, let me know.
