First off, this is tampering with a product. I do not recommend it for anybody that has never done any electrical work and I take no responsibility if in doing this you cause an electrical fire or ruin your product or kill your animal. In following these instructions you assume all risk and responsibility and I can be not held liable. If you are not confident I will do this for a cost. 50 dollars plus the cost of shipping. This covers my time and cost. This will include a sensor about 6 ft from the unit. Add 1 dollar for every foot afterwards. I AM WILLING TO SHIP TO CANADA. If you want me to do it, I will give you a 90 day warranty that covers all of my wiring modifications, but if you tamper it in any way that warranty will be voided.
I cannot claim credit for this, as I found it online, however I have slightly changed the instructions to simplify things a bit. Also the start up cost for me was minimal as I only had to purchase the thermostat and wire. I had all the tools already as well as the experience of doing wiring work on my car. This is not difficult, but it does require a bit of wiring knowledge, more than just plugging it into an outlet.
Now on to the instructions!
tools needed:
sharpie
crimping/striping tool
needle nose pliers
small computer screwdriver set(or a very small Phillips head screwdriver)
supplies needed:
.110" crimp terminal connectors, male and female
I could not find them locally so I ordered from here.
Vinyl Insulated Push-ons
OR
18-22 gauge regular crimp connectors, can be found at harbor freight, auto parts stores, radioshack, etc. (case can be seen in above picture)
I had to use the regular crimp connectors since I was unable to find the push-on terminals locally.
dual 18 gauge speaker wire

LUX WIN 100 5-2 programmable outlet thermostat
OK!
open the case, remove the small battery pack in the back, and remove the 4 screws. PLACE THEM IN A SAFE PLACE! DO NOT LOSE THEM!
mark one wire/connector with sharpie, mark it in a spot that you will not cut (when applicable) as close to the terminal as possible.
now disconnect the terminals and remove the on/off switch
