    Do AC powered wireless thermostats exist

    Hi, Does anyone know of a wireless thermostat which can be mains powered rather than batteries? We have very difficult cable routes for the control cables but easy AC supply. It seems a shame to hang the system on batteries if the stats could be main supplied. Thanks in advance.
