It is bad practice to place a thermostat where it will be "directly"

an electric convector will assure that the heating turns off as soon as
the heater starts to output any useful heat.


Yes and no. A convector works by pulling in cold air and heating it. And
the room temperature is never going to be totally even. So you may just
need to set the thermostat at a higher figure to get it to arrive at the
temperature you want, if it isn't on the other side of the room from the
heater.
