Which programmable t-stat

[Redraptor]

I've been tasked with adding some programmable t-stats in our shops at work. The shops are plumbed with dozens of Perfection brand gas infra-red heaters made in the 70's & 80's. In one of the shops I installed a couple regular furnace t-stats and used motor control relays to switch 120v power. This is for supplemental/emergency heat for the air make-up unit. Works ok but was a pain to make a box for mounting.

In the main shop I tried Honeywell electric baseboard t-stats. Easy to wire, easy to program, no battery, screw right onto the existing boxes. Easy, easy, easy, but the resolution is +/- 1 degree so when the get up to temp they cycle a lot. Then one totally failed in a week.
Anyone have a better solution or should I just buy switching relays and cheaper t-stats?

From my research, Honeywell and King both have an assortment of line voltage programmable thermostats. nVent Nuheat Signature is a high end line voltage, touchscreen, wifi, programmable tstat designed for in floor heating and line voltage applications.

Thanks for your reply. I have seen several of those online and the problem is programming the resolution more than +/- 1 degree. They are for efficient systems which this is not. At 1 degree some of the heaters don't light because the closest one raised the temp as soon as it lit.
I was trying to see if this could be accomplished for under 100 bux a pop and have a relatively easy install. Secondly, I was curious if anyone was tasked with a similar situation. This mostly stems from people forgetting to turn the heat down when they go home.
