Can this be used to turn my gas fireplace on and off by remote control? Is there such a beast?

The switch for your fireplace is low voltage. What you need is the Insteon 2450. I have an Insteon 2450 installed on my fireplace and it does the trick. Same goes for garage door openers.

If you can turn your fireplace on/off with a regular wall switch you buy at a hardware store then you can use this to do it remotely. It is just a remote controller AC wall switch. For your gas fireplace, unless you can turn if off and on electrically, this will not work.There are electrically controlled natural gas valves that you might be able to rig up with a remote controlled switch but I don't know an out of the box solution.

If the "thing" it's turning on is a motor of some sort I'd be hesitant but if it's only a ignitor you should be fine. Check out Smarthome.com and they can def help. I bought 90% of what I need from them and I have spent $1,000s on this stuff and love it. This is what I use for motor type needs - INSTEON 2477S SwitchLinc On/Off Dual-Band Remote Control Switch, White

I am not sure as my electrician used the remote. It is however, an amazing fan....enjoy!

There is no remote control with this fireplace. The controls are on the front behind a panel. You can adjust the amount of heat and the flame effect with the controls. It is a nice unit and worth the price.

If the gas fireplace is controlled by a conventional 24v thermostat use a compatible thermostat . If 120 volt wall switch use 120v in wall switch On / off (no dim)

There is a blower attachment that you can purchase, but from the design of the fireplace, we have had no problems with it warming our home. The flame is self adjusting by the air temperature sensor in the unit (with settings on the control knob). There are no electronics, so there is no remote control. We set ours at about half way and leave it. It keeps the house at 72 and the flames self adjust up and down (or go completely out) depending on the sensor. If they go out and the temperature drops at night, they restart automatically and warm the room . I hope this helps.

No Justin. Of course not. With this remote you are the boss. Just try to read the manual and unleash the features that it has.That's all

Can I use this adapter as a remote what? I don't understand your question James. The cannister of gas is remote and about 10 inches away from where the stove stand and backpacking stove connect together. Mine looks just like it is shown in the product advertising graphic. Please clarify your question. I'm missing somethng here, obviously. Please re-ask your question or offer more information about what "remore" means to you. Thanks.

Yes, but you won't be able to us the IR remote, you'll have to use the RF remote. Also, the control box is attached to the power cord so you'll have to install an AC outlet behind the drywall to plug it in.

If you have a regular electric switch now, then yes it can. I don't think it is code compliant though, because a fireplace may need to be on a timer, especially if it is direct vent.My condo fireplace had a switch, and the association came in a changed them all to timers - minimally to save money. a zwave control is interesting, cause it could be used for back-up heat if not there.

It has to turned on with the remote. The flame & heat control are also on the control. I simply leave the master control switch, on the left side, in the on position, and use the remote to control everything. It is very easy to operate.

If you're asking if it can be operated using a remote control, it comes with one and as long as the two are in the line of sight the answer is YES. The Lasco remote works great by the way. If you're asking if it can be controlled from a remote location, the answer is NO. Although it has a programmable thermostat, a 8 hour shut down timer, and the tip over safety switch, it cannot be controlled using a computer/wireless based home automation system, or even something as simple as a timer. This is why it won't work from a remote location. After the heater is turned off it enters a standby mode by default and DOES NOT/WILL NOT retain your previous temp and timer settings. To restart the heater you have to do it manually using either the buttons on the front panel or the heaters remote control. You also have to reset your desired temp/timer settings. That's every time you use it and the only way it can be fired back up. This is an excellent piece of equipment and I wouldn't trade mine for two of any other brand. The only fault is that in the event of a power outage it reverts to the default standby mode instead of picking up where it left off and continuing to put out heat. Only happened once, but the chill made a lasting impression.

I think it had a remote but I returned it bc it did not heat my room at all and it was very loud! I wouldn't recommend!!

Yes, but there's a way to avoid this extra cost if you have a gas/oil/propane furnace by switching the C wire for the G wire, both at the thermostat and the HVAC. The only drawback is that you won't be able to turn on/off the fan on demand, but the HVAC controls this automatically and I really don't change the fan settings anyway. Here's the "secret" tutorial to do it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BftoUCnKYls

I do not know for sure but it has the ability to "learn" - if you have a remote for the fireplace, you can probably teach the Harmony remote the commands of the fireplace remote, assigning buttons on the Harmony to the actions of the fireplace remote.

Possibly, but it would depend entirely on the control circuitry of the fire place. You'd need to be able to use the timer to interrupt the circuit at a point where it won't interfere with the control settings. That could be simple, or it could be a real pain or even unfeasible. As an example, if the fireplace is controlled by a circuit board, it's very possible the board will default to the "off" setting every time the timer cuts power to it, so you'd still need to manually activate it every time you turn on the timer.

This unit replaces a normal light switch and is rated for 20 amps, so you should have no problem using it for a fireplace. We are very happy with ours. It controls our porch light from over 200' away.

Additional info: I have it set up to run the fan and to cycle on and off the gas fireplace in the family room.
