Controlling fan on old wood furnace

So I have a really old wood furnace that heats my garage and the apartment above it. I currently have a switch (not smart) to turn the blower on and off. I'm looking for a solution to make this smart. I want to be able to have the blower turn on/off at a certain temperature in the apartment. I'm not sure if a smart thermostat can be hooked up to a blower only?  Should I just use a smart switch and a smart thermometer? Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi R21A, 

 

Thanks for posting here in the Community forum and for showing interest in our Nest Thermostats.

 

Are you located in North America or Europe? To help us get a better picture of your system's compatibility with our Nest Thermostat, do you mind sharing a photo of how your current thermostat is wired? You may also use our Compatibility Checker to help you determine if a Nest thermostat is compatible with your heating and cooling system.

 

Keep us posted.

 

Best,

Zoe
