Anyone know any wireless-enabled line-voltage thermostats that support 208V/30A ? :)

Just use a regular T-stat to trigger a relay. Problem solved!

Working on quotes for our theater room. Getting close to pulling the trigger. Jet you recommended the Benq W1070 projector. Still your recomendation? Or is there a better bang for the buck out there now? Looking on Amazon I see those and 1075, 1080, 1085. All under $1k which is my goal, best bang for the buck under 1k

Looking at reviews, it seems those models have very similar specs, except the newer ones are short throw so they only have to be a few feet away from the wall for a 100" picture. Are you going to do ceiling mount? Or playing games where you might shadow the picture, or is it just for movies? If just watching movies from a ceiling mount, the 1070 is the best bang for the buck imho.

Kind of a toss up between the 1070 and 1075. The 1075 does have a little better picture. Reviews said they would pay an extra 10-15% for the slightly better picture and it is at a 15% premium on Amazon right now. Keep an eye out for a black friday special on either one.

Cool. Yeah it will be mounted to the ceiling. Short throw would be nice, just wondering if i really need it.

Depends on what size screen you end up going with. If you do need short throw then go with the 1085, it can make a 100" picture at 5'8". I like the projector farther pack if possible so you don't see it.
