a wall thermostat using line voltage? There certainly are some,
but most of the ones I've run into run at (nominal) 24V and
have a relay somewhere.

(Might be a NY issue - whenever you run 120V you pretty much
always have to put it in tubing or "Greenfield", which tilts
the equation towards using lower voltages).
