4 wire thermostat on 2 wire system?

[pybyr]

Here's a question for the hydronic pros:

My parents' house has radiant in-floor heat, and uses Wirsbo 2 wire digital thermostats.

After about 10 years, some of the Wirsbo thermostats have ceased functioning.

Turns out that these Wirsbo t-stats are _quite_ expensive- about $80 each (ouch).

I've been very impressed with some of the Azel products that I have used in my own system, and see that they have a digital thermostat at a more modest price-- the D-135

(broken link removed to http://www.azeltec.com/catalog.0.html.0.html#D-135)

However, this is a 4 wire thermostat- with the power leads and switching contacts separated.

Anyone know whether these can be used on a 2 wire system by running the power leads in parallel with the switching leads?

Also open to other suggestions.

thanks

Honeywell makes 2 wire digital T stats for $25. You can pick them up at Home Depot.
