Just make sure that you use the appropriate voltage rated thermostat.

Either way you can connect a digital thermostat. It doesn't matter. You do not need a battery powered unit.
If there is a single 2 wire in the junction box you can connect a 2 wire thermostat. (non-polarized line, load)
If there is more than one 2 wire in the junction box you can connect either a 2 wire (non-polarized line, load) or 4 wire thermostat. (polarized line 1, line 2, load 1, load 2)
Its most likely that there would be more than one 2 wire in the JB, so you're fine.
Lots of brands make them. Aube, Honeywell, etc.
