HEATER 2000W Control with NEST Thermostat

[Scholar2k3]

Hi

I have bought the following

OIL-FILLED CONVECTOR HEATER 2000W

Acova TAG-200-116-S Wall-Mounted Oil-Filled Convector Heater 2000W | Electric Radiators | Screwfix.com - https://www.screwfix.com/p/acova-tag-200-116-s-wall-mounted-oil-filled-convector-heater-2000w/76782



I want to control it via Nest 3rd Generation Thermostat.

Nest Smart Thermostat & Hot Water Control | Smart Heating Controls | Screwfix.com - https://www.screwfix.com/p/nest-smart-thermostat-hot-water-control/7761k#_=p



But when I looked at the Nest relay amps it only supports <3 amps but the heater might require 8amps (calculations on the basis of Amps=2000W/230V )



Is there a way to control the above heater through NEST by adding the extra relay on the heater side?



Many thanks for the help.

Yes could be done with a contactor.
