I just had a look on eBay and there are quite a few choices of 2kW
opto coupled module that should be very easy to interface. An Arduino
Nano, a Dallas I2C external temperature probe and a few lines of code
and you should be able to do what you need.


KISS - solid state relay instead of PWM module. 1-Wire temperature
sensor and Arduino to generate the PWM to drive the relay directly
using a PID(*) control algorithm based on measured temp.

(*) Proportional Integral Derivative.
